I know that it has been a while since I posted an update so here it goes......I have completed 20 weeks and have 7 left. I take the state licensing exam three weeks from tomorrow. I am currently ranked #1 academically. I have been in that spot since week two and hope to stay there.
Some of the topics that we have covered so far have been, stress management, multiculturalism, Code of Criminal Procedure, Arrest, Search & Seizure, Intoxicated Drivers, Spanish, Traffic Law, Crash Investigation, Penal Code, Force Options, Patrol Tactics, Mechanics of Arrest, Firearms, Emergency Medical Assistance, Professional Police Driving, Juvenile Issues, Report Writing, Family Violence, and the Mental Health Code. The highlights for me so far have been firearms and driving. When I was in those classes I kept thinking......."I'm getting paid to shoot guns and drive fast......it don't get much better than this".
This program is really tough. They push us physically, mentally, and emotionally to see how we will react. So far I think that I am doing pretty well. Just seven more weeks and I will be in the FTO phase, which will be a whole new adventure in itself.
