Default Going to HPD...

And I was wondering how the Police Academy is as far as letting cadets be on leave. I should be starting the next police academy for HPD, on June 23rd, and I am getting married July 7th. I would need to be out July 4th (national holiday; not too worried about that) plus thr 5th and 6th, because the rehearsals, dinners, and ceremony will be in Dallas. Does anyone know if getting off those 2 days is possible? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

I have lived here in Houston my whole life, my dad has been a cop in Harris county forever, my reserve unit is here in houston, working for HPD makes more sense than anything else to me. And if your gonna be a cop, any where, you need to be willing to put up with filth, some people can handle it, some cant.

It may be tough city doesnt really show no love for cadets, I did the fire academy and they were very strict about being off unless its a family emergency...good luck
