I am sure if you are becoming a Police Officer their Institute would probably prefer to show you what drugs can look like and what they are. Are you going to admit to them you have seen what they look like before? Because I highly doubt there are public courses people can study to identify drugs. And do you really want to admit to them you have seen what they look like before becoming a cop?

It is mandatory and you will be shown what the different drugs look like, what they smell like (e.g. burnt marijuana smell), etc. during the academy. A department is not going to encourage people to "check out" drugs before employment because it will usually be criminal in nature to see it before you're allowed to seize it.

I heard they have " Bong- a - thons " at the academy and the winners go to the head of the class . From there you have the option of going into politics .

once you become involved in the drug beat you will be trained. mostly you will figure it out while out there in the streets.

Not really............this is stuff you would learn in training. You don't need to know what certain drugs are to enter training

No. They'll usually teach that in the academy.

yeah you have to see how much it takes to get high so that you can determine an unlawful amount.
