"All you've done at this point is clear the lot of trees. Now is when its really time to start building"
This.. This quote right here
11:00 I'd argue you haven't even "cleared the lot of trees". I'd say you've just located the lot after graduating academy. You clear the lot of trees throughout your first weeks on.
Eat yo cereal
@@yourmother7857 Wheaties?
@@yourmother7857 reminder just to eat your cereal
I’ve just graduated the police academy almost 2 months ago. I can give you one tip on how to pass it.. NEVER GIVE UP. There will be times you may think “I can’t do this” but really it’s all a mind game. I can definitely say I never knew what I was getting myself into before I started. Your physical fitness means a lot, but knowing your laws mean even more. Study every single week and workout for at least 4 times a week.
Congratulations!
Congrats! I’m seriously thinking about it, but I’m scared and I cant do 40 push ups yet!
40 push-ups isn’t nothing, you got this! Eat right, do as many push ups as you can regular and then do them on your knees until you get stronger. Most academies here in Ohio are 6 months. I’m sure it varies what state you’re in and what city you go through. Don’t do push-ups everyday. Do them Atleast every other day. I was in the Marines and I’m a certified personal trainer. The reason I say every other day Atleast is because when you workout all you’re doing is breaking down your muscles. That’s why after a workout you should eat, or have whey protein. Whey protein is fast acting and gets into your body faster. Start working out. Don’t aim to just get by. If you have to do 40 push ups make sure you can do atleast 50 plus. 1.5 run make sure you can do 2-2.5 miles. Always aim for more and when it’s time it will be a breeze. In H.S I used to run 100 yard sprints then when it came to doing our 40 time it was easy. Best of luck to you, if you need anything let me know. I’m not a Police, but I have did Security, Corrections, and served papers for the County. I was Infantry in the Marines so as far as laws I can’t help you lol, but working out I got you lol
Who hard it was?? 😭
When do you do the tests before or after training
How to pass police academy: DFQ
Don't F*cking Quit
@Crimson Dynamo depends on the state. In my state of Wisconsin. There are 4 phase tests with 100 plus multiple choice questions.The tests are on the computer. After the tests are completed it tells you your score. You need a 70 percent to pass. The tests weren't bad generally two of the possible answers you can eliminate based on common sense. I never studied once and the lowest grade I got on a test was an 89 percent.
@@HarambetheWhite phase tests are a breeze lol. Whered you graduate from?
@@matthewbaughman4532 I just said they weren't bad at all. Also to your second question NTC.
Here is a better idea...
Keep pushing yourself and let those who act "badass" and think they that they are all that quit first. Same goes for the military. For example, my dad would tell me that those who would quit first were the ones who were bullies in high school and football players.
@@28ebdh3udnavthere's a big difference you can't quit the militaryyou can't go to basic training and decide it's too tough and call your mommy to come get you but you're free to quit or walk out of that Police academy anytime you want just like any other student taking a criminal justice class at any college or community collegeand that applies if you get hired with a police department or sheriff's department you can quit just like any other private or public employee anytime you want that's one reason why civilian police officers are not recognized as veterans by the federal government!!!😁😁
More advise,
-When and if, you receive an academy handbook/guide read it, highlight important rules, dates, etc. It's your bible!
-Learn how to study effectively (powerpoints, index cards, etc).
-Don't be late, show up early.
-Ask reasonable questions.
-Depending on your academy don't use your phone.
-Don't give up, chances are its one more exam, one more lap, five more sit-ups, you get the idea.
Great advice. I needed this.❤️
I leave on the 16th. Perfect timing
Best of luck Josh
good luck bro
What state? Mine starts on the 16th too.
Good luck man! I go on the 16th next month.
Good luck it’s a brave thing to do in today’s political climate
Over a year ago i was applying for the police academy. I watched many of your videos that kept my head in the game. Now, a police officer, i still watch every video you put out. Thank you for the content that you produce!
Was it hard to get into the academy
Congrats
Hey Buddy, hope you're still doing good out there on the Streets!
When you are being interviewed by a panel, look at the person who asked the question.
They didn't look at me, they had their heads down and were writing down everything I said, they even said "eye contact doesn't matter because we're writing things down".
Burtonracingboard6 everything’s a test. Do what you know is right. Make eye contact always.
JOSEPH STALCUP Good word & Yes, most everything is a test’ and don’t ‘pan’ the panel (sweep side to side). Make movements genuine & believable . Move with Intention
@@Burtonracingboard6 Thats horrible advice. Eye contact 100% matters in an interview, especially an oral board from an LE agency.
@@Zer0Mood I said my experience.
I start the academy next week. Wish me luck y’all.
Best of luck
Good luck
Good luck

Goodluck!!!!
Last time I clicked this fast people still respected law enforcement
Was he making videos pre-Obama era? lmao
Sebastien Gaming lmao
So this must be your first time of clicking. ;)
I only respect law enforcement when they are not pulling my stupid ass over!
Dam road pirates!
Times have changed for the worse. Sad to say
I’ve been on the job for twelve years. I love your analogy of building the house. When you leave the academy, you know just enough to hopefully keep you out of trouble.
I’m not an LEO, but during Army basic training in the late 80’s and OCS in the early 90’s gave me brothers I served with as a veteran and best buddies for life. I hope your videos inspire our youth as we need more officers and I am sure the friendships made at the academy last lifetimes.
Holy crap! Man, I feel so much more confident now. I've been so nervous with the whole hiring process and the power test. I've just been working on cardio and staying fit until I get called for a power test! Thank you so much!
This was super important to me, I'm studying criminal justice right now in college and want to get to police academy as soon as possible. The only thing that freaks me out is the whole "you get to fail one test and after that you get sent home"
I am with you on that I am terrible at taking tests and I am finding better ways to take tests better. I can say failing to me is 70 and lower because I know I can do better I just get nervous I'm feeling sick just thinking about it. I am finally taking my Criminal Justice classes and I want to do amazing. So far I have passed all my classes with 87 and better but it's more serious when you think about 2 failing grades kicking you out of the academy. Good luck in school and I'm off to class.
Right that’s how I feel. I’ll be headed to the academy soon. And that does freak me out but I guess if you put in the work you won’t have to worry. At least that’s what I tell myself. To prepare for this. But you can do it. Just believe that you can and you will.
I’m the exact same way. I can’t pass a test to save my life!! If I need a 70, I will get a 68, or 69. If I needed a 50 I wound get a 48, or 49. It’s so damn frustrating!!! I’ve always said this. Tests should have hold anyone back. Here’s what happens. A straight A student and someone smart will go right in and pass with in the 90 percentile, or with 100 and if they have Military background you used to get a extra 10 percentage points for that. With that being said. Now you have smart police out there with no common sense, or street smarts! I have a buddy that’s so smart, but he would stand out in the rain and ask why he’s getting wet?! Lol, no common sense! Another example being a firefighter. You could be so weak, and not be able to climb a ladder, carry anything, etc.. but you’re never even going to make it that far if you can’t pass the damn test!! So many great people could have been a great employee, but they couldn’t pass the test! I think personally, you should have to take a test to see where you’re at and then go out on the job to see how you do. It’s so stupid to be like well you can’t do this job cause you couldn’t pass the test, but yet I can run a mile in 5 minutes, do 100 push-ups, 30 plus pull-ups, and 150 crunches and I’m not qualified, but this nerd comes in and can hardly lift his pecker, but gets first in line cause he scored in the 90’s-100!!
I meant to say never, and would. I failed cause I can’t type either lol
@@bfry38 same thing i can do too bro physical isnt the problem for me. The test is the problem
I just wanted to take a second to thank you for this channel... Monday marked the last day of working in mental health. I served others for 6+ years, and the last 2 years were just gut-wrenching and soul destroying. I was canned for doing the right thing, after 4 months at a new job, and assured things were fine just a few days ago. I'm finally starting the very very first steps of the hiring process of a career I'd once considered when I was a kid, and am now hopeful to see this to fruition.
Step 1:
Fail the fire academy
thx bro
\-: don’t listen to him
Mike the retired cop has passed the fire department academy
@@raymondjiang3978 im not even eligible
\-: good for you I think I’m eligible too
You are doing "the job" an amazing service by making these past two videos... with moral and application low, any bit of encouragement you can offer to a good candidate is pure gold!!!
Be safe, and please keep up the good work 🚔❤
Ooooh boy, more stuff to prep for next month! Thank you Officer401, you're an inspiration!
You got this!
All your videos get me fired up to be police officer. Thanks for taking time out to help those who are seeking law enforcement as a career.
The comparison on building a house to the academy was spot on! Once you hit the field/streets that's when the foundation gets poured and the frame gets built and so on. Keep up the good work and stay frosty.
I just personally want to thank you Mike for everything you have taught me. I've been watching your videos since your first live stream in 2017. I finally made my dreams come true and were able to get sponsored on with an amazing department. We are currently in week 7 of 23 of the academy. Again, I can't thank you enough for your help! Also, I'd love to send you one of our department patches if you wanted to PM me an address! Stay safe Mike!
I got offered a job by my regional police in Canada 😁 I’ve been watching your videos for a bit and they have been helpful so thank you for the tips 👮🏾♀️👌🏾 I’ll be attending the academy in about a month to complete my training. Good luck to everyone else out there !
I encourage all to integrate into society via a regular job or education after high school BEFORE the academy to better connect to the people we serve. Its helped me and I see a significant difference from people having an education and societal ties better engage and connect with the public as opposed to my other coworkers who just came straight out of high school. Life experience is just as good as any experience you get in the academy or on the job.
Thank you monumentally for your videos 401. Nothing better for me to wake up to at this point. You sir are the reason I (like many others) decided to attempt to become a police officer. Could only imagine you as an FTO.
Thank you again sir. Cannot truly express the happiness Ii feel when one of your videos pops up in my suggestion box, always worth the watch, regardless of a previous viewing.
You have two ears and one mouth for a reason. Listen twice as much as you talk. This is doubly true during FTO.
Thank you Officer 401, your informational videos have been such a huge help. Keep up the good work and be safe.
You are completely correct. I graduated from a college police academy in 2018 I am licensed certified PO.. but now I’m going to join a department that requires me to go through their academy.. I’m not as nervous doing a second academy because I’ve been a PO for 2 years now and I’ve enjoyed every second of it but I will use it as a refresher on laws, policies, etc..
I APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO! One of the best videos to show what will come being in the academy. Amazing. Appreciate you so much! Future State Troop here 🙏🏼
I definitely want to go into law enforcement, thanks 401 for everything!!
Years ago I went through my local community college’s ems academy and it seems like a very similar experience. Thank you for the information. I am planning on enrolling next summer
Currently on week 6 of 38 weeks at my department here in Texas. Kicking my butt but I’m loving it 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Update?
Thank you soo much. I’ve seen your other videos about passing and they have definitely helped me think about what I need to be prepared for.🙏
Your videos are getting better and more informative and I can't thank you enough.
I get chills thinking about this. I am on the top of the eligibility list and we have 6 openings going to the academy in January so I am preparing myself right now and since February when I applied this year! :D
I went thru a military-style live-in academy in 1980. What you described was spot on, even back then. What I still remember to this day was a sobering statistic. The academy senior instructor said to us on the last day of class: “Look at the person on your right. Look at the person on your left. Which one of you will become the individual that commits suicide during your first year in service? Statistics show that one of you will.” He was right. Our class president was that person. He had a domestic dispute with his girlfriend and his department responded. His co-worker asked him to go out for a cup of coffee with him to cool off. He went in to the bedroom to get a jacket and shot himself instead. I never would have believed that stat was true! Stay safe my friends and have at least one person that you can confide in. There are many things about this job that will piss you off, that are unfair, that might be illegal or unethical, but don’t bottle it up or drown your thoughts in a bottle.
Best advice! Thank you for taking your time to write it. My husband has been offered a position to get in non certified, and I hope it will be something that will work in his favor and not against it. Mental health is so vital. Take care everyone ♥️
I wish 1 out of two cops killed themselves the first year of service. I think you've been lied to sir. You're also gullible af it seems if you believed him. What a cliche to lol. The old "look to your left, look to your right routine". Hahahaha omegalul. Bunch of jar heads
Going to start my career on Friday with my physical test and written exam Love watching your videos they're so informative and you also make them fun with their jokes too keep up the good work sir
This video is extremely helpful. Thank you so much. Your insights, tips and forewarnings are noted! Thank you again for making these videos!
Going through Pre-Screening for our Sheriff’s Office for their Academy. Got my PAT and written exam this weekend. Thanks for the good tips. Been studying both the US and State Constitution and the crime statutes to get a lead knowledge wise. Keep up the great vids and you just got another subscriber!
I’m scheduled to start October 5th, thank you man. I’ve been watching for the last 3 years.
@Anthony Morris
I graduate in two weeks then I have to find a job😃

@@spencergrace1679Did you find the police academy acdemics exam extremely challenging or are they not that difficult if you truly stud
We need a hell of a lot more police officers out there and God bless all of them!!!!!
Went thru the academy from February to august 1st. This is the most spot on academy video I’ve seen. We did firearms in the middle, and the rest of use of force at the end. Also took TCCC. EVOC was the best part
Did you find the police academy acdemics exam extremely challenging or are they not that difficult if you truly study?
I can’t wait to start college and then move into the police department
Graduation day is one of your best moments in life. Can’t describe the feeling but you feel like you’re on top of the world. Watch out for those badge bunnies 🐰 when they come out though.
My two favorite days ever was 1. Joining the Marines and my 2nd favorite day ever was getting out!! Lol
Headed to the academy on August 9th. Officer 401 thank you for your content. The last year and a half have helped tremendously

I remember watching all his videos trying to prepare. 6months out now and it's a must experience I never want again haha
when I was in the Academy here in Northern California, I was taught on the Police calls and tactics and procedures whereas many people who I met learned about Radar and Lidar
Nice if you don’t mind my asking where at? I’m currently looking into the Sacramento Sheriffs Department. Stay safe out there! Thanks for your service!
Thanks for the video I’m currently attending an academy here in Texas and hope to graduate in December !😤
How is the Academy coming along?
Thank you! I’m going threw my last few phases of my hiring process and I believe I’m going to the academy in September. I appreciate the advice.
Loved the video man! Would love if you did a video about police officers and their relations to prosecutors, judges, criminal defense attorneys, and the importance a good report has on the outcome of a criminal case.
You know a channel is good when you thumbs up the video immediately after the notification and before you even watch it
HAHAHA!!!! 👍🏽
Our son is at cleet now to become a deputy at our county's sheriff's department.

How to pass the academy:
-Study your case laws
-Do as you’re told
-Don’t do anything stupid and get into trouble
-Pay attention
The trick is finding a way to go above and beyond in your class.
Well said! Passing the academy was one of the easiest things I’ve done.
@Hendrix truth basically if you could handle the military the leo community is a walk in the park. Basically it comes to don't be a dumbass use your brain for once lol
Things other than PE you might want toto before going to academy.
1) take a civil safe driving class with wet road simulation
2) get a CCW and take shooting classes, go to the range regularly with the handgun that your future department uses as duty gun
3) buy handbooks to study law beforehand
4) join a martial arts studio and train regularly
5) buy pepper spray and have a friend hose you down, then try to fight through it (obstacle course, radio message, find gun)
6) take a first aid and stop the bleed class
7) do anything else you can imagine and afford beforehand - it is always easier if you bring some prior experince
@Hendrix amen to that! 9 weeks in and we have 2 chuckle-heads stealing butter knives from the DFAC to shake people down for their peanut butter. How the fuck do you make it that far and then decide " you know what? Now is the time to start robbing people for MRE peanut butter!" They got caught almost immediately and got to spend the length of their enlistment at Ft Leavenworth.
Good video.
I put myself through an academy in Texas 27 years ago, scored well on the final exam from the academy as well as on the at that time, TCLEOSE (commission) test. I believe they allowed 3 hours and I used almost all of it checking and double checking. Don't be in a hurry when you take your final exam to be certified. Nobody cares if you use the entire time.
I found that what also helped me get hired after was my test scores and my physical condition and being a military veteran. Departments like you to be in shape and many give veteran preference points. Also applicants who were bilingual (in my case it being Texas, the Spanish language) had an advantage as well. It behooves one to try and learn as much of an applicable second language as you can.
Open mind. Roll with the punches. Be as fit as you can (for oh so many reasons when you're a cop). Be up on current events. You never know what the bosses will ask you on a review board.
Love it. Currently in the hiring process. Will hopefully move onto the background check in a few weeks! 🙏
This was very accurate. I just graduated the Maryland State Police Academy in June.
My guy. Congrats!
Any tips for MSP?
Michael Sidler Develop good time management, know the core values in and out! It’s gonna get tough so remember why you’re there and embrace the suck. The entire academy isn’t gonna be hard a lot of it will be fun and relaxed. Don’t ever lose your bearing and don’t get complacent.
@@charleshoward503 got any tips on how to study? I know he gave a few but I'm information hungry.
@charleshoward503 Did you find the police academy acdemics exam extremely challenging or are they not that difficult if you truly study?
I'll be completing the academy on the 31st of August and man it has been a roller coaster. With everything going on, we got pushed back a month or so but the academy isn't really difficult in my opinion. If you're not well disciplined or lack self motivation you may have a more challenging experience. Honestly, if you put forth an honest effort and bust your ass you'll be fine. I enjoy all your content, it's very informative especially the topics regarding the application process, etc.
@Terry Donelson it all comes down to the department(s) you're applying to and their policies and procedures. To my knowledge unless its a condition that would prevent you from performing the duties of the job, you'll be fine. I have anxiety as well, it's not as severe as it use to be. I would just reach out to a few departments and do some ride alongs and see how your anxiety is affected by it.
Congratulations to you. And thanks for the advice and heads up. I definitely need it. I’ll be going next month. Pray for me. But you’re absolutely right about the discipline and motivation that’s why I’m trying to discipline myself now with my workout routine everyday and running. It’s definitely more mental than just physical. But I’m going To do what I have to do to get in and stay in and successfully complete it.
Well how is it being an officer???
I went through the academy in1968 (retired 30 yrs later) and lived some of the history being taught in today. Best job I ever had.
Perfect timing! I have academy in November, thanks for all the great info!
how is the Academy going so far?
For myself. Most fun: EVOC driving and PT. Least fun: Redman. Just be respectful and attentive and it goes by very quickly.
Redman?. Might be called something different in my state.
Alfonso Garcia we do a few things similar during Consim and DTs . Never heard it referred to as “Redman”.
When this is posted the same day that you are sworn in...
401 thank you for telling us about the police academy now I know that I have to up my training now to be better prepared for the academy and yes please talk about FTO I heard from friend who is a cop told me it’s no joke so I wanna be prepared for this when I get there.
Wow! Absolutely, fantastic detail.
I think you missed out some points that people can do other than PE preparation before going to academy. I would recommend:
1) take a civil safe driving class with wet road simulation
2) get a CCW and take shooting classes, go to the range regularly with the handgun that your future department uses as duty gun
3) buy handbooks to study law beforehand
4) join a martial arts studio and train regularly

My fathers a police officer and though this is helpful its overkill and your overdoing and over preparing unless your goal is to try and be the star of the department, my father is just in shape with a highschool diploma and he goes to the gym maybe 2-3 times a week for a few hours and he’s alright, hes been a police officer since 2005
@@rogue6327 It is never overkill to have the skills necessary to pass an exam.
@@brushemteeth9159 it’s actually not recommended to study beforehand because the academy has a specific type of curriculum and studying beforehand will more than likely confuse you when it’s time to go to the academy
@@capostrength3908 Learning different things, relearning something or correcting your previous knowledge is a normal process of life. Your intellectual capacities are (or at least should be) able to handle that.b
@@brushemteeth9159 why would you waste time learning something that you’re not gonna use when you get to the academy because they have their own way of teaching things?
11:00 I'd argue you haven't even "cleared the lot of trees". I'd say you've just located the lot after graduating academy. You clear the lot of trees throughout your first weeks on.
Mad respect for anyone wanting to go into LE these days. With everything cops have to put up with I can't imagine wanting to do that as a career. But I'm so glad there are people still willing to do so.
Thanks for this video I’m applying next year 💪🏽💪🏽
This video is point on.... I'm graduating the police academy in 4 days and everything that he has just said was exactly what I seen within my 7 in the half months in the academy.
Please How do you study? For your writing test?
@@donnitv5323 if you are talking about the one that you take upon entering the Academy it's not really anything to study. It's more of a common sense type of test. They want to see where your mind is upfront converting from a normal citizen into a police officer. It's really nothing to stress about. I was stressing real bad before I took mines and it was 300 questions but I ended up scoring a 9 out of 10 on it. No type of studying at all. Just a lot of common sense questions.

@@danielkatz1139 as long as your on point with studying and pay attention in class they are easy. A lot of the questions be common sense type of questions. Things that you should possibly know just from being a US citizen. But then again if your taking good notes in class you will have the answers to everything. They give you the answers to everything that's going to be on the test throughout the entire time that your in the class studying.
@brandonmartin3652 just curious were you a very good test taker? Were question straight forward for example, which Supreme Court case founded the objective reasonable standard? What is a baker act? Kidnapping is defined as etc. Were they straight to the point or complex?
50 sit-ups in 60 seconds? Unless you’re cheating, they can’t be done that fast

Been watching all of your videos for the past month, really helps me out! I go through entry exams in a couple of weeks then the interview process, hoping I’ll do as good as I think I will. I wish everyone realized all of the hard work it takes to become a police officer. I feel like lots of individuals just assume it’s a couple months and boom you’re a cop.

On my third week in now! He was right about the death by PowerPoint for the first 2 weeks 🤣
Are the tests hard? What do they consist of?
@@2liablee731
Here in Georgia, from my experience your hardest tests are going to be:
Criminal Law
Criminal Procedure
And/Or Constitutional Law. But at least in Georgia Academies all tests are multiple choice, through a scantron and around 50-100 questions. The highest failures are usually Firearms and EVOC (Emergency Vehicle Operators Course). If you're considering doing it, it's not required but before you go I would try to get some lessons from a qualified firearms instructor so you have more time to get used to handling a firearm if you haven't ever before.
@@2liablee731
Also if you're wanting a book to study before you go (not required, plenty of people pass without getting one before the academy) I'm not sure about anywhere else but here in Georgia we use the Law Enforcement Handbook in the academy, which contains parts of the (Official Code of Georgia - OCGA), learn the first 14 ammendments too.

Here’s the best advice. Don’t be too out of shape and follow instructions.
Any advice for the old guy in the class? About to be 30 and entering the academy, I know most are younger than me. Changed careers and lost 85lbs to be here. I won't quit.
Old guy? 30 is going to be a little above average age for most academies
I'm going in oct at 35 after military service, still outperforming most of the junior personnel in fitness and mental fortitude. You shouldn't be much older than most of them honestly.
lol When I join I'll be 29 when I join in 3 years. I think I'm going to do it on my own like he said only about 3-4 officers get paid to go.
Oh my, After hearing this I can't wait until I be able to join the academy. It sounds so exciting and awesome and I will learn everything I need 😃
I graduated GPSTC Columbus on June 30 it was 8 weeks and was TOUGH. Yours and yummis videos helped me alot.

I start my first day of the academy tomorrow.
How was it?
@@fleiteae first day I was lost personally. I feel like a lost of us were. But now that I'm about a week in it is not so bad. A lot of death by power point in the beginning. We are just ready for the second half where we go hands on. Like firing range, arrest and searches etc.
@@thomassaunders8145 you passed finaly ??
@@Haris_5a no I just started like two weeks ago. I still have months to go till graduation.
@@thomassaunders8145 ah ok man. I wish you the best 👊

Leave on the 20th here in Canada! Perfect advice
How to pass the police academy. Develop an addiction to caffeine I recommend intravenous as you will have days when you are at class from 7am to 9pm.

Im 1 year away from the academy and im starting ny weight loss program cause ive been a big body my whole life the other day me and the boys went on a 10 mile bike ride it took 2 hours. 3 rides later 11 miles turned into 1hour and 20 min i would say im improving for a 260 pound dude.
Also 401 is there a difference between college academies and regular i go to a community college that has a academy on campus any advice on that?
Some states allow certain colleges to run a certified academy. In my state you can only go to this type of academy if you have a policing degree. If not you go to the state academy. Also the one in my state is also shorter than the state academy.
Good luck, brother. I started the academy at 6’3” /250 lbs, muscular, but chubby. Keep on working hard to get in shape. Incorporate some running occasionally otherwise you will get shin splints from all the running in the academy. You CAN do it, but you have to be willing to puke during every workout. I graduated at 228 lbs and was solid with 6-pack abs. Good luck. I’m retiring next year after 30-years. Stay healthy throughout your career and NEVER stop exercising!
any tips on working out?
@@tahmin6576 i have sense changed career paths so i havent dedicated my life to getting into shape. But ask the staff at your gym or hell see if you can find someone to work out with. Cardio is key in my state but youve just got to be in great shape.
Nice breakdown 401. Great content 👍
I aint planning on becoming a cop nor ever thought about it.....still manage to stay and watch the whole video and paid closed attention lol.... great vid 401!
The Training sounds like Basic in the military. Lots of similarity, even the drill and ceremonies looks like it. Interesting nevertheless.
Not really, cause if cops have actually seen combat they wouldn’t be so scared and itching to pull that trigger on people that’s unarmed
Henry DV Cops don’t really like to shoot people.
Henry DV wow didn’t know I was suppose to see combat in basic training? 😂😂😂😂 army is soft now!
chancelor massey nah you supposed to be noble soldier and defender and most importantly peace officer not shaking with a gun in your hand aimed at a guy with a kitchen knife, you sound like youre not built for that. Yea sounds tough for day to day job right? Maybe why your not built for it
Henry DV damn guess It’s school teacher for me 😂😂😂😂
Half way through week 5 at my academy. I’m ready to finish and get started on fto.
Taylor Larson You have time for UA-cam?!?! What kind of cupcake academy are you attending?! 😲
Mounty621 I’m in the police academy. Not the trooper school or basic training. It’s a great school.
@@taylorlarson8114Did you find the police academy acdemics exam extremely challenging or are they not that difficult if you truly stud
@@danielkatz1139 Not really. I would study for about an hour every evening. That helped a ton! I’m three years in now and love the job.
@taylorlarson8114 just curious were you a very good test taker or are the question basic you just need to study. I have been learning case law such as mapp v ohio, Tennessee v Garner, Caroll v Us, Missouri v Mckinney etc. Just nervous about the exams
I start on the 17th in NC. Thanks for the info
That was an outstanding video. I loved it.
