Police Academy Skills

Here's a list of skills that everyone graduating from the academy should have, at minimum, so when allocating skill points, don't forget to make sure you have these minimums in place. Most of you would be taking these skills anyway, but these are the minimum levels you'd need in order to graduate from the academy program.

Athletics +2
Awareness/Notice +2
Brawling +2
Driving +1
First Aid +1
Handgun +2
Human Perception +1
Interview +1
Melee +1
Rifle +1
Shadow/Track +1

Also, a quick note on the Education/General Knowledge skill. It represents you formal education. Every character in this game gets Education/General Knowledge at +2 for free. If you want to raise it higher to represent a higher level of education, you can, but the first two points won't cost you anything.

To define the levels of Education/General Knowledge (just FYI):

+1: Grade school education (6th-8th grade).
+2: High school diploma or equivalent.
+3: College education (Associates degree).
+4: Bachelor's degree.
+5: Master's degree.
+6: Doctorate.

Higher levels indicate even more expansive knowledge of a variety of topics and/or additional degrees.
