Training

The MCPD, requires all of its new recruits to undergo thorough training. there are four levels of training which will be explained in the following notes.

The first required stage of training a new recruit must complete is to eat an entire box of jelly donuts, and wash it down with an entire gallon of scalding hot coffee in under 3 seconds. Most importantly however, the recruit must be clinically obese with a definite future in diabetes, high cholesterol, and clogged arteries. The second stage of training, is very integral to our police force, to be able to be caring, and understanding is a limitless virtue in the law enforcement world. All new recruits must complete rigorous "pompousness training" to master the fine art of being extremely condescending. an officer must be able to approach a high emotion situation, with no information, and be able to act like he knows everything in the world. The third stage is mainly psychological brainwashing new recruits into fighting to the very end against crime, crime which is against our government, which is full of totally level headed and reasonable people, considering pot is still illegal and you can get a ticket for jaywalking. The fourth, and final stage of training is the most physical, where new recruits must learn to finely tune their skills. skills which include fucking themselves in the ass with their nightstick, while simultaneously patrolling local ghettos to further break down low income neighborhoods.
