    USMC combat vet and 24 year PA State Trooper here retired now. The State police academy is a cake walk compared to marine corps boot camp and especially what Austen has already been through. Not too many military Troopers left anymore most are college Xbox call of duty millennials. This gave me a good chuckle.

      But to be honest - why is this necessary for someone that wants to work in police?
      I get that discipline is important but that can be tought in other ways.
      I would agree that police service can be stressful, but do those cadets really need the same (or similar) treatment as someone who will go into combat overseas?
      Police service should not be seen as combat or military in my opinion. They are directly serving the public, their fellow citizens - they work for AND with them every day.
      For comparison:
      Initial local police training in Germany is 2,5 or 3 years - which mostly is classroom training (looots of laws to learn...)
      After years you will rank up and/or go (if you want) into other branches like our the local SEK teams (SWAT equivalent).
      For that you need a couple years of service on your belt and it comes - surprise - with about 6 months additional training.
      Or you could start in our federal police (Bundespolizei), where your initial training is also 2,5 or 3 years.
      There you could end up in one of the worlds most known (non-military) special units, the GSG 9.
      I know that crimes in Germany are different to the USA - but still - in 2019 police in Germany fired 62 rounds, 15 of them deadly. That's in a country with a population of 82 Million people.
      I was not able to find a similar statistic for the U.S. - but I assume those numbers are way higher.

      @@ADSF5830 The psychological stress they are inducing is what I don't get - in a way of using drill sergeant techniques.
      I don't have studies for that, but I would assume training stress resistance would be more efficient if trained in a realistic environment. If that happens later in training - fine - but still why do you have to drill a police cadet like that...
      Your trainers will also check your room for cleanliness etc. in police school in Germany. If your bed sheets are not tucked in correctly they won't yell at you - they will talk to you more in a way a parent would and expect you to do better.
      If you don't do better next time, there will be disciplinary steps in form of conversations, remarks in your file that could cause failing the next test and in the end - termination if you are deemed unfit.
      It's pretty much school, for grown ups/young adults, which requires a lot of discipline and professionalism.

But the yelling, stress, etc helps to condition the recruits to deal with people yelling at you and being in stressful situations. The key though is to build them up and to build confidence in them.

Become a good listener. Learn to write well. Listen to your tactical and range instructors. What they teach you WILL save your life. Train like it's for real because someday it will be. Treat people how you want to be treated. Have fun. The time will fly by. You are going to see a lot of bad things so don't neglect your mental health.

    As a military man you knew what was expected and there is absolutely no way you would fail an inspection at the PSP Academy. I have a hunch you messed some things up to prove a point in the video, Well done.

      As is with any inspection, the game is rigged. If they want you to fail, you’ll fail. If they want you to pass you’ll pass.
