Start Learning

Today we started learning to much stuff. This is going to be tough with all the information that is thrown at us to learn in the short period of time. Today was fun and interesting though.

Started the day off with our first academy PT test. I did better with the running and push-ups but worse with the sit ups this week. I was disappointed with all my scores though. I really wish that I could be consistent with all my scores approving each time I do one of these test. I will update with my scores from this test and the next one in 4 weeks after we do our next one to see if my scores approve or stay the same.

We then had classroom stuff the rest of the day with the first part being about the criminal justice system. This was very interesting because we learned about different law enforcement agencies and what they are allowed to do. We also learned about the legal process for every case. I knew for the most part about the legal process but learned a couple new aspects that I didn't know were in the middle.

We then learned about POST which is the people who regulate and kinda govern police officers. When you graduate from the police academy they give you a certificate and you become a certified peace officer. I learned a little bit from this and how they do their jobs as far as regulating us as possible police officers and the officers that are already in place in the state.

This afternoon we learned all about LIABILITY. This is a word that no one wants to hear and what they were telling us is something we shouldn't be to worried about as long as we do our jobs and do them the way they are supposed to be. I really enjoyed this part because we learned so much about this subject and learned so many aspects of officer liability that I had no clue existed. I know and pray everyday that when I get out of the academy and on the street I will never have to worry about that L word again.

Well, I'm off to bed cause I will be leaving the house at 6 a.m. for PT then have to be alert and ready for State Criminal Law for the next 3 days starting tomorrow. This will be interesting and I can't wait to learn all this.
