I'm encouraging my husband to sign up for the citizens' police academy in the city nearest us (I confirmed we'd be eligible). I've done a couple of citizens' academies with different departments, but only pre-CHL. Any guesses as to what their stance might be on participants carrying? I figure we'll ask since when they run the background check they'll see the CHL, but I'd be interested to hear thoughts or previous experiences.

I'm hopeful it'll be a good experience. I've really appreciated the citizens' academies I've attended, and even if I haven't always agreed with what's said I think it's helpful to know the general attitudes and thinking of local law enforcement. I also thought that as CHLs, it might be good to preemptively build good relationships with local police.
