Extremely cruel/abusive academy. They justify everything under the idea that it is a "controlled environment" but if you want to get an idea of the spirit behind it, all you have to do is look at the Illinois State Police thread on officer.com.

It sucks when you're there, but it's worth it in the end. I can definitely tell the difference in officers who have graduated from other academies. As far as complaints about the staff treating recruits and cadets poorly; it's a police academy, not a spa. If future officers can't take getting yelled at in a controlled environment, have fun out on the street. The instructors try to put you in uncomfortable situations, because that's what the rest of a cop's career is going to be....uncomfortable situations. If you can handle a little discipline and structure, you'll be fine. If you can't, I'd probably find a different career.
