Originally, I was to attend a 3 week basic school put on by Dallas PD this month. But problems with their admin, an injury to the instructor and various other factors have put the school off for an undetermined time.

Does anyone know of any good schools in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas or New Mexico? Our chief has approved any of these states but so far we haven't had any luck finding one any quicker than November or a tentative school in September.

Also, NW Univ.

Both also have instructor courses..........maybe you could twist an arm into that one.
