I am currently attending GWC for a CJ AA, and I will say that the Academy there is world class. I know the overall CJ program is a highly spoken of program. A lot of police departments send there recruits through GWC Academy. I also know that the academy instructors make sure you are eligible to be hired once you graduate (ie. background, fitness, academics).____________ _____________

I am a recent graduate from GWC who was self-sponsored, if you have any specific questions feel free to send me a PM. You can also search the forums for "GWC" or "Golden West" and find a few topics that have talked about the academy in detail. I would say it was an excellent experience with a very dedicated staff. Be prepared to do a lot of writing...Comment
