WELCOME!

This blog was created to help the individuals that have completed the application process and are ready to begin the Miami-Dade Police Academy. We hope to post good links to study aides, photos, videos, stories and take an inside look at the daily life of MDPD Trainees. MPI 110 is scheduled to begin soon. For the first time, the experience will be available online, we will cover as much as possible from picking up the blues to the graduation. More good stuff to come!
