i don't know about anywhere else but where i live wal-mart asset protection is done by wal-mart. It is a position like any other (stocker, cashier, etc.)
Bo Biscuit man I stress on that too. I started by memorizing all the streets and what directions they run on my normal routes of travel and that made me feel a lot more confident. Also establishing roads that point north, south etc and using them for reference point so you always know your compass. It helped me out a lot
I love your channel. You provide so much useful information. I would love to see a video about older people becoming police officers. I'm 45 and I'm about to start a career in law enforcement. Thank you so much I appreciate all that you do.
Hey officer401 i'm currently at the Pat Thomas Academy. BRC 459 graduates June 7. I just want to let you k now how much you have been so inspiring to me. ALL of your videos has played a true factor on the leading success of choice of becoming a law enforcement officer. Continue to drop your amazing videos and keep informing and inspiring people like myself to go after dreams that seemed so far-fetched and now for me 3 weeks away. I had no one in my family or friends that could share information to help move forward or fall back. Thank you brother. Talk later.
next video should be about street racers, they guys who got away and the fastest people youve pulled over and the fastest someone has went and you let them off with a warning
Basil Akasheh same spot probably 67/60 but you have to be a real jerk for no reason or have something else going on. otherwise 40/35. Guy was anti authority and tried to tell me how radar works and how he didn't do that speed. Talked himself into it. If your driving history is decent and haven't been an ass you usually get a warning from me.
I really like my local PD. I interned with them, and witnessed that they treat people with respect and they all really do a great job. Another plus is that they all seem to get along. I am not a fan of toxic workplaces, as I have dealt with that too much in the past.
Drake just to warn you. I work for a sheriffs office. The sheriff is a political job and remember he only stays in if voted in. Many decisions about how things operate are dictated by the election. In my dept, all the deputies were told I be “very selective” of who you give a ticket to, which means, don’t piss off a republican voter that resides in that county. It’s all bullshit that deputies can’t do their jobs sometimes becuase they are worried about voting
Bkang 017 I do have a question which one should a join my state police which is in Mississippi my sheriffs department or the police departments in my area
I can't help but to resonate with you. I am also in the IT field but I also wanted to join law enforcement. I'm pursuing an IT degree from Texas A&M. I think that's why I love this channel and have a similar way of seeing the world like you. Keep up the good work sir. I've followed your channel for about a year now and hope to watch many more of your videos.
Yet, another great video! Thank you for that last, but very important piece of advice about a department’s reputation and perception from the public. I fully didn’t even think about it like that. Keep up the great vids!
Hey that's the Durham Police Department in Durham NC! I don't live to far from there. Probably about 40-45 minutes. Anyways, love the videos man! I've been thinking about law enforcement for quite some time now and I think I'm ready to start applying thanks to you!
Amen on assuming that burden of the department! I’ve heard of officers from big cities having issues latter transferring to small departments because of the reputation.
Hey officer401, just wanted to let you know about two good microphones. The first one is the Blue Snowball. The second one is the Yeti also made by Blue if I am not mistaken. There are plenty of reviews and videos about both of those microphones on UA-cam. They are both under $100-$120 dollars. Nice video and keep up the great work!
Lincoln 18 I would recommend that you do not buy a yeti, I’m a Best Buy employee part time and it’s one of the most frequently returned items we get. Just a heads up.
I talked to one of my friends in the sheriffs department in cape May Court House nj he said it’s the best how ever you don’t get paid as much as a class 2 because you don’t do as much as a class 2 but everything you can have for your future is there for you
I love officer 401 i inspire to become a police officer here in london and hope to bring my experience to US Law enforcement when i move there hopefully
Thanks for such good, informative video. I would also include to your viewers to choose their Department wisely. I made the mistake of signing on with the first Department that took an interest in me, and it turned out to be a mistake / bad fit. Now I have to disclose that bad fit each time I apply at a new Department. In some cases I spend more time talking about the bad fit, then getting an opportunity to promote myself as a good fit for the new Department which seems to be keeping me from getting hired.
Hey officer401! As a video maybe you could a "cop watches Southland" type.video where you watch and critic how the show executes police work. Also keep it up!!! You're awesome!
This is good information. Another factor is the geographic area and demographics of the town or city. Typically the more traffic and bullshit calls, the more strict the PD. The more realistic (worst case scenario) type stuff, the more relaxed the environment the PD has.
How to deal with loss of morale, distrust, & backstabbing aka throwing under the bus in your department. You have to walk on eggshells at my department and im not 100% sure some officers would have my 6.
@@orlanduca2567 I don’t live in the city, I live in LA county, east side and my rent is 2200/mo. I get paid around 6800/mo. If I wanted to live in the city, I can find apts near dtla for maybe 2800-3200/mo. While not smart, I can def afford it if I want to.
A video about the daily routine of a patrol officer would be cool. Sort of like you did for detective, but more in depth since its an 'entry' level position.
I might have to think twice about being a Massachusetts Statie. Brings a new perspective, but electric blue does look good on a uniform and a cruiser....
ive never seen a video where you explain how a arrest goes down at the scene of a fire, car wreck involving drunk driver, etc that involves other agencies like the fire department, ambulance, etc I think a video or two about that stuff would be great
You should do a video on national police week. Also working relationships between departments would be awesome. Thanks so much for the channel. Also different types of agency leadership the good and the bad. Take care and keep being awesome!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️
I'm currently a sergeant in the Pennsylvania State Police, it's a great department and i highly recommend anyone to join up and become a part of this amazing community!
I learned this the hard way. My local pd is so corrupt it's sad. I had a personal attack conducted by officers that i delt with back as a kid that hate me and guess who got the short end of the stick.... Yupp me.
I’m so happy. I live next to a nice size town with a great police department. There have been no scandals or police brutality incidents and it is the highest paying town in my county.
I know it has been a long time since you have done a car vlog but I think personally this is a good idea. Maybe you could hop in your daily car and go for a ride and film it and tell us what you see as a cop, or what you notice about people driving or other things that regular civilians probably wouldn’t notice like “hey that guy didn’t have a seat belt on, was eating a monster burrito and texting while going 3 mph over the speed limit” when we just see some dude driving by. Hopefully this helps for an idea or maybe I’m just rambling 😂😅
i have the Swimming test and physical test then it's application time for the local sheriffs office which right now is getting shredded in the media but the officers i know there all wanna make it better. They had years with no real incidents and this years just been rough for them.
Great info! A video idea could be to talk about police corruption. I’ve personally had the question in police interviews before. They say “Your in a gas station with your Sgt and you see him sneak a candy bar. What would you do? (Your a rookie)” Thanks for all the good videos
Next VID idea: SWAT equipment vs regular officer equipment, SWAT day to day (how being a swat officer differs from being a regular beat cop in the day 2 day), Top SWAT stories...
Agency I'm looking into only pays 10 an hour and usually you;re stuck on part time for a couple years but the group of guys are great. My ride a longs went great and they gave me all the ins and outs of the agency (what sucks and doesn't). It's definitely not somewhere that is a prime spot since pay is low, crime is high and the city is bankruptcy but you'll definitely learn how to be a cop in a year.
Educational as always. Got an idea. How about telling us about use of physical force? Like when is it okay to punch a suspect or kick him or you know, something other than just wrestling him or her on the ground?
I came to the us 1 month ago as a tourist, but i kind of fell in love with law enforcement. I wanted to know if I could be elegible for being a cop here in America.
You should do a video on how to keep your shirt tucked, tight fitted, and wrinkle-free. Does Police Department's offer reimbursement for haircuts? Is it policy to keep it short along with having no beard? And like the military are you allowed to have tattoos after you join we can get them before you join the police academy?
I'd like to see a video about what officers go through emotionally after they've had to shoot a suspect, and what departments do (or should do) to assist them. I've heard too many stories in recent years about guys thrown under the bus.
I left bama traffic stop for officer401
The Dragking252 underrated comment
Check your rear view, he's still behind you running code 3 xD
The right one is Walmart police.
Dominik W. I always wonder who do Walmart security they company can't never be found
i don't know about anywhere else but where i live wal-mart asset protection is done by wal-mart. It is a position like any other (stocker, cashier, etc.)
Facebook PD has a great FTO program with a huge support network.
Real Police Talk lol
My local Wal-Mart employs a security company made up of current officers. So basically there's always a cop at Wal-Mart.
Thank you officer 401, your insight on the life of a police officer is truly inspiring.
Headed to the Academy for my County’s PD in October! So excited to begin my journey in Law Enforcement.
Did you get into law enforcement?
You should do a video about navigation threw the streets, it’s honestly my biggest fear going in
Bo Biscuit man I stress on that too. I started by memorizing all the streets and what directions they run on my normal routes of travel and that made me feel a lot more confident. Also establishing roads that point north, south etc and using them for reference point so you always know your compass. It helped me out a lot
That's my biggest fear to
petersusia1 I’m not gonna lie Im this close to getting a job at Pizza Hut to deliver pizza just to get a little more use to the roads 😂😂
Real Police Talk can’t use a gps during FTO training tho. GPS is exactly why I don’t know how to navigate lol
Real Police Talk cool ty looking forward to it
Last time I was this early 401 didn't have a face.
Viva la 401.
Always great to see you lurking around these parts xD. Much love Ben!
Hey Fuzz
Great video for new troops, don't know if you covered it before, a comparison of different agency types, ie, local pd, sheriff, highway patrol, etc...
You should do a video on Police impersonators.
Evan Faraday or ppl which buy crown vics, but a push bumper on it so they can act cool and feel special because everyone is thinking they are police.
Been binge watching your vids and just joined the forum today. Thx for being amazing 401!!
Could you make a video about the softener between State Police, City Police, and Sheriff’s Offices

Basil Akasheh i let a 97/60 off with a warning. It was his birthday. =P He was driving a new dodge challenger.

Start my training in 3 weeks, luckily my department that I’m joining supply me everything gear wise, that’s extremely uncommon in the UK
So glad you did this I have an interview Tuesday and you brought up good points I wouldn't have asked
I really like my local PD. I interned with them, and witnessed that they treat people with respect and they all really do a great job. Another plus is that they all seem to get along. I am not a fan of toxic workplaces, as I have dealt with that too much in the past.
Awesome video. I plan on going into the Sheriff's Department.
Awesome I would love that!
Same!

Love what you do brother
Best way to start my weekend a new video from one of my favorite youtube channel officer401
Just finished my background process with my PD, moving on to command review!
Wish me luck boys.
I can't help but to resonate with you. I am also in the IT field but I also wanted to join law enforcement. I'm pursuing an IT degree from Texas A&M. I think that's why I love this channel and have a similar way of seeing the world like you.
Keep up the good work sir. I've followed your channel for about a year now and hope to watch many more of your videos.

You should do. What to do in a traffic stop? Like how to act ,what to say etc.

VIDEO IDEA: How much do you get to choose on your equipment/Can you alter your gun and or can you carry other guns on you or in your car?
Thank you for the tips! Godbles you!
Amen on assuming that burden of the department! I’ve heard of officers from big cities having issues latter transferring to small departments because of the reputation.
Video on what its like in the FTO program maybe?
x Pr3dat0r217 he already did ua-cam.com/video/kCXcibcjt3g/v-deo.html
He's got like 4 videos on these already
x Pr3dat0r217 there's a channel for that.... Free Field Training. The guy who does it, Tommy, is an FTO in a Chicago suburb
Jack Miller ehhh rather see one from good ol 401 👌🏻

I'll definitely keep your tips in-mind for when I apply👍 BTW, that outro music tho 😥

Amazing video! Could you do a video of what a cop can and can’t afford? Like financial stability as a cop? Thank you
Let’s not forget Corrections. We need good people as well
Oh yeah
Hey officer401! As a video maybe you could a "cop watches Southland" type.video where you watch and critic how the show executes police work. Also keep it up!!! You're awesome!

Thats wild, i work a few blocks away from the building in that picture.
Should do a short video on how police officers are trained to use there equipment while driving and why they can use them while driving.
Ummm...The one that pays the most and requires you to do almost nothing...RIGHT?

Excellent video 401 thanks for the advice
The differences between departments. Like county, state, city, rural and other types.
Always good to hear from you Sir. great info video. Stay safe in all you do
Good. I'm thinking about what department I should join right now.

Make a video about the camera and microphone equipment you like and what you're looking to get in the future.
You should make a video of things to buy and learn before entering the academy. Things that will make the academy less stressful :)
News and good things yeaah right like that ever happens...
Just applied to one of the departments I was able to. In one year, I’m going to apply to the rest of them when I’m 21

Ben Cunningham you gotta start out somewhere man.
Question/Video idea: What can officers wear with their uniform?
Do a video on the first fight/struggle you got into on your own as an officer.
Ever thought about finding a military police veteran, interviewing them comparing civilian and military police and how they are different?
Here in Sweden, we have 1 police department per city maybe to depending on the crime rate
Do a video on small crime like petty theft and how you guys deal with it.
awesome video keep up the great work
The insight
Educational as always. Got an idea. How about telling us about use of physical force? Like when is it okay to punch a suspect or kick him or you know, something other than just wrestling him or her on the ground?
Just turned down an offer. Got a “don’t do it from my ride along.” Not enough training and not enough equipment. BYO gear.
Always great and informative videos! I love this channel!
I came to the us 1 month ago as a tourist, but i kind of fell in love with law enforcement. I wanted to know if I could be elegible for being a cop here in America.
I clicked on this video because the thumbnail you had a picture of Durham Police Department, My hometown. Which is awesome.
just a heads up shooting on black background makes the compression super noticeable keep up the awesome content!
To competitive to be picky lol on my 10th app, passing all the written exams but only get put on list, Havent landed an interview yet
Another good one boss
You should do a video on how to keep your shirt tucked, tight fitted, and wrinkle-free. Does Police Department's offer reimbursement for haircuts? Is it policy to keep it short along with having no beard? And like the military are you allowed to have tattoos after you join we can get them before you join the police academy?
I'd like to see a video about what officers go through emotionally after they've had to shoot a suspect, and what departments do (or should do) to assist them. I've heard too many stories in recent years about guys thrown under the bus.
Another video on Ridalongs or how do police deal with churchs that won't let them in
