Hello, I’m looking to switch careers to LE. I’m in my mid 30s with a family so health insurance is a concern for me compared to young people getting in. My question is how does health insurance work while going to the police academy? Am I applying for Medi-Cal if I go to the police academy to have some health insurance? Is the sponsoring agency covering it? Please and thank you.

Agency specific.
If you’re sponsored by an agency they should be giving you healthcare coverage.
If you’re sponsored, then you’d be covered on your department’s insurance. You’ll have a couple choices that you can choose from when you’re going through all your HR on-boarding.
