40 minutes ago when someone asked about online testing. They said you have to go to the facility. So you dont to have worry about that. We would get up dates all the time. If im no. 9 on the list and they have 10 people take the test today. When its refreshed, they plug in with my list. We continue to get the updated list all the time.

It goes along with the saying that the public of the police and the police are the public. They are true examples of this by being reserve officers. Officer Jeff Smithers is the program coordinator. Hes a full time Police Officers, a former reserve. He comes to us with that. He had a full life and a full career and retired and became a full duty San Francisco Police Officer. We felt he would be the best choice in knowing the program. His job at the Police Academy is to be a full time coord
