Academy Sessions (AS)

Congratulations! You're now a Cadet. Academy Sessions (AS) are the core of a Cadet journey in the San Andreas Police Department. The APS represents an opportunity for a student to reflect their theoretical knowledge in the field, with the assistance and supervision of Academy Instructors who will regularly compile patrol reports for each student. There is a total of three sessions to complete in order to take the next step to the Field Training Patrol (FTP).

Field Training Patrol (FTP)

The Academy & Recruitment staff have made the decision to implement the Field Training Patrols, every Cadet has to complete a total of two (2) Field Training Patrols in order to proceed to their Examination. The Field Training Patrols are implemented to ensure the Cadet gets to face different opinions from the SAPD officials. This will make sure they are able to pick the best solution whenever they have to face certain situations on their own. Field Training Patrols can be taken by any Academy Instructor and Senior Officer or above.

Evaluation Phase & Final Exam (EPFE)

The final stage of your journey within the SAPD Academy - Evaluation Phase and Final Exam. The Examination consists of theoretical exam and practical examination and will be taken by Academy Manager+ or by any command member after permission from Academy Leader. Cadets is entitled to have up to a total of two (2) re-test for both Evaluation and Exam. Upon passing your Examination you will be promoted to a fully fledged San Andreas Police Department Police Officer.

  After a discussion with the S.A.P.D command members, we decided to simplify the recruitment process as much as we can as follows;
- First, you'll have to submit the application and post it in the correct section,
- Afterwards, your application will be reviewed and evaluated by a Recruitment Unit (Sergeant+)
- If accepted, you will have to request an interview by calling the 911 service ((In game)) and ask for a one.
- Once accepted, you will move directly into the academy where you will have to post field patrols and get fixed number of sessions until you are ready for the examination and be a full officer on the field.

The following updates have taken place:


(*) Student Stage has been implented. After you have passed your Applicant Interview (AI) you will be joining the student stage, in here you will be learning all the theoretical basics you need to know before you become a SAPD Cadet. You will have to undergo a examination in order to pass your student stage, this exam is based on the information provided in the handbook.

(*) Ride Alongs have been implented. As a Cadet you will be undergoing 5 different sessions, whenever you have passed them you will have to get along with different officers on the field. We made this decission to ensure you will be able to learn from different people and having different opinions over their way of working. This should give you the oppertunity to make the best decission whenever you have to face certain situations alone. After you have passed those Ride-Alongs you will be able to take your Academy Examination.
