what would you recomend taking with me as far as far as clothes and things. can i take my laptop. also do they issue all equipment such as side arm (what kind is it, and caliber) duty belt (still leather or have they moved to the nylon) expandable baton and cuffs? i have most of the duty gear but its nylon .i know about the uniform alowance. if issued a side arm could i opt to carry my own, as i am very partial to my 1911? sorry about all the questions ,im just trying to prepare myself.

congrats Thane, im actualy going through the process myself. i have my oral review comming up. any advice would be welcome. how is the room and board at the acadamy?
