There is a saying in the Oklahoma City Police academy, “bring everything, everyday.” This statement is a lesson to the recruits to make sure they have everything. Because you never know what you are going to need, like black cross trainers, which is what I did not bring. I failed when it came to following through on the statement of “bring everything, everyday.” I did not bring my cross trainers, honestly because I did not think we would need them. This is exactly the type of thinking the training
When I was at the Police Academy in Florida approximately 20 plus years ago, the academy was located in a old misty building. The air conditioning units were outdated, the windows were poorly insulated and I would feel horrible within an hour of being in the building. What made it worse, was that I wasn't the only police officer cadet being affected by the poor indoor air quality. As soon as we go outside, the horrible feelings would go away. Growing up in a old house with a Michigan basement
at the police academy training to become a state trooper and a out of uniform cop. The trainee did not know he would be in for when he first decided to go to the academy. Larry had grown up in the small town of Blacksburg wanting to be a undercover cop or a professional athlete. He was a great football player with awful grades so he couldn’t take the offers to play at Alabama, Georgia or Marshall. But, because of his grades he couldn’t play anywhere so he decided to go to the police academy right
this was the career path I wanted to pursue. The Explorer Program aided in deciding that I want to become a Police Officer. Becoming a Police Officer is a choice that requires a strong sense of character and a deep commitment to the community. It requires the ability to handle physically and mentally demanding situations, and the ability to maintain public safety. Driven by a sense of duty, Police Officers risk their lives everyday while on the job. I was aware of the idea of
personality. I want to be able to bond with them since they are going to be sharing a room, but I do not want to be forced into things that do and like to do. I expect to have a roommate that is like a sister to me. Through the handbook, I read the academy is great at creating lifelong friends and that is what I am really hoping
After the whole day Haruka’s parents hadn’t shown up at all, though they left a message explaining why they couldn’t be at their only son’s graduation ceremony. However, Haruka didn’t really care; he felt relieved that they hadn’t come otherwise he would have a lot of explaining to do. At night, since Haruka’s parents weren’t home, Hisae and Norio, Makoto’s parents, had insisted he had dinner at their house, and of course the twins would hear them and insist that Haruka came with them. As Makoto
Yuki stared at the skies as she looked bored at the Gates. Yes she was condemned by the gods for a crime she did in her life. So for her punishment she had ended up as a guard for the Gate. These gates once opened are forbidden worlds. People often seek these worlds wishing to start anew in life without their memories. "Hey Yuki what do you think of Jade." (Helen) She's sitting on the big pillar since the spot our gate had been over the ruins. Gates floated in the air and were most easy to
A New Academy Tennis balls are being hit from left to right, sweat is dripping from all parts of my body, everyone on the team is making an effort to win the game, and everyone else on the team is depending on me for the last point of the game. My opponent hits me a short slow ball and I strike the ball as hard as I can into the right corner of the court for the game winner. The other guy tries his hardest to get the ball back in play but the ball flies out of bounds. The smiling faces of my
In his book “The Republic”, Plato argues vis-à-vis Socrates that the philosopher is, in fact, the happiest person. He draws this conclusion when he compares it against that of a money-lover and an honour-lover. This paper will expound on the argument put forth by Socrates and in doing so will provide the reasons for my support of his argument. In Book 9 of “The Republic”, Socrates wants to find out the type of person that enjoys the most pleasant life and therefore, suggests that the soul of each

difference between law enforcement training methods and Federal Bureau of Investigation training. For example, candidates that are accepted in the Federal Bureau’s academy can be a difficult task, which new agents are expected to take countless hours of studying and engage in intense physical activities.

could pick one career in the criminal justice field it would be a Police Office. I chose this career because it’s the type of career where you aren’t doing the same thing every day. Days may be repetitive to other days but, for the most part you walk into work having no idea what is going to happen that day. One day you can be in a high-speed car chase and the next you could be sitting at your desk doing piles of paper work. Police Officers are at the very beginning of every crime case or the formal
I decided to interview my mom, who works at the Maine State Police Academy. I thought it would be interesting to learn a little bit more about, since one day I will have to go through it. Her job is secretary at the academy. She does many different things, which can range from making prints, to planning graduation. This is just a few of her many responsibilities, but she gets a list from each department of all the full-time cadets applying. Then she creates a roster of all the students, and then
knowledge during training in the academies. The skills and knowledge so acquired are manifest in their day-to-day practices influenced by their cherished traditions. A holistic understanding of the present-day policing in America also requires one to comprehend these skills and knowledge acquired during academy training. The career of a law enforcement officer commences from the academy to the streets. One also needs to navigate through the career path of a police officer to fully appreciate the nature
as a rule among police officers not to report on another officer’s errors, misconducts, and/or crimes, including police brutality, when they are questioned about an incident of misconduct involving another colleague, during the course of an investigation. In the United States, every state and city has a police force to enforce its laws and ensure that the public peace is upheld throughout the country.

the next ten years police will be one of the fastest growing occupations? Although it has not always been this way. During the early history of policing people were expected to be able to maintain law and order amongst themselves. This system worked well for a while in rural and less populated areas. But as the population grew rapidly in countries such as England and the United States it became clear that there was a need for greater police force (52). People feared that the police would become another
At a young age, Paul Miller didn’t always want to be a police officer he saw himself being more of a business man however that wasn’t the case. After being raised by a single mother he felt it was his duty for him to look out for her and his younger brother. He enjoyed the feeling he got when someone had trusted and felt safe with him. That was when he had made up his mind in his later high school years that he wanted to be a police officer. He took it upon himself to get a better understanding of
