Citizens Police Academy - Harris County

OK, but do you get any free range time? I'll sit thru the classes if I can shoot a course or 2. I'll even supply the ammo. I used to love to quialify. The CHL course can be passed without effort by any blind monkey. Come on I wanna shoot with the big boys.

The SAPD program allows you to shoot their Glock 23s, but only three rounds or so. I don't think they open their range to civilians...

I have taken the cpa class in Harris county and it is a hoot. It is basically an abbreviated police academy, used to teach what an officer must learn, and to allow citizens to see a person not the badge. Deputys Jan and Paul Brown (not related) host the class, and are first rate folks. Each week a different deputy that specializes in a different area comes to teach you about his or her specialty. Scenario night is a blast, they put you in their shoes. Trust me when I say you will have a while new respect for the job these fine folks preform. It was worth every min spent, and I now have some great friends.

There's a difference? I'm an XD guy, so all Glocks look like copies of my Croatian masterpiece!

But you are correct, sir; my apologies!

Cheers! M2

My wife and I did the program in Midland, TX and loved it. If Harris county is anything like Midland you will have a blast.
