PA State Trooper Academy training is regimented, demanding, and exhausting. It is a life-changing experience. Cadets learn to meet and exceed seemingly impossible physical and mental challenges during their time at the academy.

I graduated High School, joined the Marines and I just completed 34 years as a Deputy Sheriff in Florida. I got up every day and and could not wait to go to work. This career has blessed me ten fold. I pray someone enjoys it as much as I did. I am loving retirement very much at 56 years old. God Bless you and Semper Fi!

[@bernardberben4852]

Good for you! I was thinking about being some sort of police officer, but I just don't think they pay well enough. Now I think I'm going to go to a lineman college and become a journeyman lineman someday.

[@mikealangaloe1774]

Just rolling over 15 years with the Indiana State Police. It's a great way of life and I still love what I do. It's easy sometimes to let current climate, stress and bureaucracy to get you down. Shows like this remind you how much you wanted it and how hard you worked for it. It's easy to forget that stuff. Definitely gives a motivational shot in the arm. Thanks

[@kelvinalfred4555]

My nephew went thru this academy a year ago. I told him that it gave me some insight on information us citizens aren’t privy to. Great job.

I loved this series. We are a military and law enforcement family and I really appreciated what you said when you addressed the class: in these days we really need to see some positive reflection of our law enforcement. Those men and women are being treated brutally by some of the public. It's time for them to start feeling supported and appreciated. I also really liked that your are always honest about yourself; you say what is easy for you and you own up to what is difficult for you. It's refreshing to see that in your videos.

[@ryangendreau1216]

People think law enforcement officers or state troopers need more schooling. No one understands they are coming from educated backgrounds or military service. Showing a basic run-down of what takes place across half a year for these men and women is enough to open peoples' eyes to see the message you're trying to portray, well done!

[@ENomad]

Not to mention how much it's drilled into you that you aren't an individual. You graduate the academy with a foundation and immediately start training again in the field. Then you're a rookie and typically expected to ask senior officers for guidance because new situations happen every day. Sterile environment of the classroom can only get you so far... that said, I think there should be a lot more defensive tactics training in how to control suspects without relying on tools, and that takes more than an hour every other day for 6 months (if you're lucky to even get that much).

[@cmconley33]

Agreed-but keep in mind that the PA State Trooper Academy is *extremely* selective. You won’t get in without a 4-year college degree, and relevant experience is a big plus. The Academy is also longer than most police academies. As a result, the graduates of the Academy have a much better foundation for a law enforcement career, and even then they still have a year or more of training before moving beyond basic PA Trooper duties. So overall, PA Troopers have roughly 5-6 years of college-level studying behind them. That isn’t typically the case for large municipal and city police departments.

[@ryangendreau1216]

@@cmconley33 Absolutely, that's the basic generalization I was trying to hit on which you expanded. Becoming a state trooper varies from state to state and is typically INCREDIBLY selective. The more the gen. pop. can learn about how things takes place only stands to benefit law enforcement.

If only all of our police training programs throughout the US were so intense and comprehensive. This is what real law enforcement training looks like. This is how you create a professional and competently effective police force that is properly equipped to protect and serve the public trust. Austen, this was an absolutely fabulous piece and quite frankly a much needed one in this current day and age. Honestly more people need to see this and other similar content in order to generate further transparency and outreach between the public and law enforcement. Furthermore such pieces may offer a more personal and humanizing glimpse into the lives of those who train and serve in the field of law enforcement, which once again is more necessary now more than ever... Great work my man 👍👌.
