After a 4-year pause, Blue Line Advances is set to return on April 1st! As the go-to testing program for any HPD personnel looking to advance to the next level, I am happy to announce that the program will be up and running for those hoping to promote in the next testing cycle. Blue Line Advances is the brainchild of Commander Isaac Duplechain, and has helped countless HPD officers promote since its creation in 2016. This was brought to an abrupt and unexpected halt when the Department implemented a policy preventing Commander Duplechain from launching Blue Line Advances for the 2022 testing cycle. Fortunately, Commander Duplechain has entrusted his business to Commander Bryan Bennett (Ret.), and as a recent retiree, Bryan is no longer constrained by such policy.
For those of you who do not know Bryan, he served the Houston Police Department for over 26 years since his graduation from the Academy in 1998. He promoted to the rank of Sergeant with just four years of seniority (before the rules were changed) in 2002. Bryan scored #1 on both the 2006 lieutenant's written promotional exam and the 2009 captain's written promotional exam. He was promoted to the rank of Captain with only 11 years seniority, making him one of the youngest captains in the history of HPD. As a captain/commander, Bryan was assigned to the Kingwood Division, Special Operations Division, Training Division, Central Division, Auto Theft Division, Mental Health Division, and Narcotics Division. While serving as a Commander, Bryan obtained his Law Degree from South Texas College of Law-Houston, graduating as the class valedictorian. After retirement, Bryan has founded Texas Blue Law Firm, PLLC with Retired Sergeant Mike Loessin. Texas Blue Law provides subscription-based legal services for law enforcement, firefighters, and other public safety employees.
We are currently updating questions to reflect changes to General Orders, and hope to launch the updated material along with all of the more than 2,600 questions on April 1st. Stay tuned.....
