A Day in the Life of a Michigan State Police Trooper Recruit

[@gjmarkjesse1324]

Joined law enforcement after my 4 years after the Marine Corps, and not gonna lie, police academy is tough in its own way.

[@brandondavey2398]

Hi, thanks for sharing, man. How's it been since? I've been working ems and thinking about switching ..

[@Balal8281]

Did you become a city police officer or state trooper?

[@ConnorWeekly]

I remember doing this last year during the Kiwanis Club Youth Trooper Academy. One of the most difficult challenges of my life but it was worth it! "If you think you can you will, if you think you can't you're right"

[@juandoe2994]

Did they teach you to shoot tasers at 15 yr Olds riding atvs?

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

It’s not how you start but how you finish. Accuracy balance and courage.

The whole program is 22 weeks long.

I'm considering trying to become a Michigan state trooper after the marine core, do I need a criminal justice degree for it? Also, how hard is it compared to Marine Corps recruit training?

[@spencerstraka5230]

Jacob Dunn I'm an intern with MSP and a trooper I'm with is a marine and he said they are about even

[@mbenzsl2000]

Marine CORPS. Lol. A DI will beat your ass for spelling it like that, just fyi. I was told that DNR and MSP training is close to that of USMC boot. Obviously with some differences...It is a live in academy but you go home every weekend.

[@MeineEhreheisstTreu1]

Jacob Dunn Bro police academy is a breeze for a lot of prior service guys. As long as you're in physical shape and ready to learn it'll be easy.

[@spencerstraka5230]

Logan Klaeren not MSP recruit school. Many marines I've talked to said it's just as hard if not harder than boot camp because of the swimming and academic portion.

[@MeineEhreheisstTreu1]

Spencer Straka But compared to your average recruit, vets will have an advantage with drill/ceremony, attention to detail, firearms training, as well as physical standards. That way you'll be able to focus more on the academics than stress over the other details. It's not easy by any means, but it's a huge advantage.

[@misterking761]

Wow, do state troopers have to live in the academy?

[@MayaraSanches14]

Yes, they live there in rooms of two and roommates change every week.

[@miguelkeeler7747]

You do not.

[@axelfoley1406]

@@miguelkeeler7747 Wrong. Michigan State Police and DNR both offer live-in academies.

[@rumplestiltskin7304]

When are they going to talk about the cop who tasered a kid on a 4 wheeler and the kid fell off and was killed. Cost to taxpayers, 12 million.

[@rumplestiltskin7304]

@BoomerLemon What the hell: different topic?? The topic is police brutality and you sound like a cop. Whatever they do in that recruit school, it obviously doesn't include addressing brutality and overt racism. Police forces around the country seem to purposely, specifically and intentionally hire idiots who can't read or refuse to read the U.S. constitution.

[@genepeak6250]

A new cycle of oath breakers. You cant expect a system that's corrupt to produce good people no matter what the recruit says their goals are. You dont change the system, it will change you....

[@johnsawyer2187]

@BoomerLemon When is the brainwashing training ?

[@johnathonholbrook4041]

Like boy scouts

[@axelfoley1406]

In a way, yes, lol. It's more strenuous and you train for your life. A friend of mine was a boy scout for years who then became an Eagle Scout. He then joined the Marines. Following that, he became a Mich state cop. It's pretty interesting to read up on how many famous and driven people got their start in Boy Scouts.

[@johnathonholbrook4041]

@@axelfoley1406 cool story bro. I dropped out of high school 2 years early to join a military academy to graduate in 6 months. Joined the army as an infantryman, and earned my CIB in 2011. But to be a cop you have to be below a certain intelligence level, they don't want people that think for themselves. Now I work for a industrial company making more in 6 months then a cop does in 2 years.

Nope, lol. However, after the formal training of the academy, you REALLY learn how to handle the streets. Not for the faint hearted. You do what you can do survive. Tough and thankless job.
