72 Hours Inside State Trooper Academy | Ep.02

I am starting my 26th year with a state police agency. I completed a 26 week academy. You will have some great memories from the experience. Try to find the humor in your current situation. Become a good listener. Learn to write well. Listen to your tactical and range instructors. What they teach you WILL save your life. Train like it's for real because someday it will be. Treat people how you want to be treated. Have fun. The time will fly by. You are going to see a lot of bad things so don't neglect your mental health.

This is insane. I can understand why Austen was in a daze at how similar it was to boot camp. There are things that are standard across all branches. Serving in the Army. Watching this was like de ja vu.

[@melokulelekankumalo3402]

Semper Fi!! Lovin' every minute of it!!

[@marcel1416]

But to be honest - why is this necessary for someone that wants to work in police? I get that discipline is important but that can be tought in other ways. I would agree that police service can be stressful, but do those cadets really need the same (or similar) treatment as someone who will go into combat overseas? Police service should not be seen as combat or military in my opinion. They are directly serving the public, their fellow citizens - they work for AND with them every day. For comparison: Initial local police training in Germany is 2,5 or 3 years - which mostly is classroom training (looots of laws to learn...) After years you will rank up and/or go (if you want) into other branches like our the local SEK teams (SWAT equivalent). For that you need a couple years of service on your belt and it comes - surprise - with about 6 months additional training. Or you could start in our federal police (Bundespolizei), where your initial training is also 2,5 or 3 years. There you could end up in one of the worlds most known (non-military) special units, the GSG 9. I know that crimes in Germany are different to the USA - but still - in 2019 police in Germany fired 62 rounds, 15 of them deadly. That's in a country with a population of 82 Million people. I was not able to find a similar statistic for the U.S. - but I assume those numbers are way higher.

[@ADSF5830]

@@marcel1416 which part don't you understand? The yelling, physical, or what?

[@marcel1416]

@@ADSF5830 The psychological stress they are inducing is what I don't get - in a way of using drill sergeant techniques. I don't have studies for that, but I would assume training stress resistance would be more efficient if trained in a realistic environment. If that happens later in training - fine - but still why do you have to drill a police cadet like that... Your trainers will also check your room for cleanliness etc. in police school in Germany. If your bed sheets are not tucked in correctly they won't yell at you - they will talk to you more in a way a parent would and expect you to do better. If you don't do better next time, there will be disciplinary steps in form of conversations, remarks in your file that could cause failing the next test and in the end - termination if you are deemed unfit. It's pretty much school, for grown ups/young adults, which requires a lot of discipline and professionalism.

[@ADSF5830]

@@marcel1416 well typically it starts off pretty tough and as the class progresses, they develop into more of an adult learning environment. But the yelling, stress, etc helps to condition the recruits to deal with people yelling at you and being in stressful situations. The key though is to build them up and to build confidence in them.

[@christhomasism]

@@TheePoseiidon bc you do all that training (not really much, like 5 months), to act like an ROTC high school loser and take your hat way too seriously. Then you sit on the side of the road pointing a little radar gun at cars that go by. Is that really what you wanna do? If so more power to you.

[@TheePoseiidon]

@@christhomasism I think it’s much more than that. Wouldn’t that be the easiest money being on the side of the road with a radar gun? Plus, military training and being away from your family 5 - 6 days a week ain’t highschool bullshit. State troopers die to protect people like you and me. It ain’t bullshit. And yes I wouldn’t mind being a state trooper if that’s what your asking me.

Great video! I went through the New Mexico State Police academy in 1990 and it was very intense, but it was an experience that I do not regret and I had a very rewarding career with that department. The PT was probably the worst part as I lived at near sea-level prior to attending the academy, but the NMSP academy is located in Santa Fe which is 7000 ft above sea level. I found myself gasping for air many times!

I get the discipline and the PT, but I’m not sure what a lot of this stuff adds to making a good trooper. Honestly I don’t think police militarization is really a good thing. It seems like someone decided “we need to get tough on people” without really knowing or studying why.

[@valdie91285]

It teaches cops to act and think under simulated stress. This training translates to cops keeping their cool while dealing with angry people and in stressful situations. Also, this is one snippet of police training, so don't use it to judge an entire curriculum.

I'm an Army veteran. I completely understand why basic is what it is but not sure why state trooper school is over the top like this. If a guy caught red handed stealing a tv ends up taking a trooper prisoner, sure, but that never happens. The goal of all the screaming and yelling in basic is to make you able to deal with it calmly.

[@TetraSamurai]

It’s mainly for discipline and professionalism. A lot of troopers are college grads, not prior military. College grads are more mature than 18 year old army recruits, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need extra discipline on how to conduct themselves. I agree on some parts though, I lived 30 minutes away from my academy and was still forced to live there for 26 weeks like I had to in basic training. The only difference I had was that I got my cell phone every night. They don’t take it away like they do with the army, which in my opinion made things a lot easier, especially the homesickness. The worst part about basic (fort Benning) was being homesick but having no way to talk to family (or wife in my case). That made the situation suck a whole lot more, which is probably why TRADOC mandates drill sergeants and CO’s to allow cell phone use every Sunday now. Increases recruit morale and training performance.

As a military man you knew what was expected and there is absolutely no way you would fail an inspection at the PSP Academy. I have a hunch you messed some things up to prove a point in the video, Well done.

[@HF-cc7ez]

As is with any inspection, the game is rigged. If they want you to fail, you’ll fail. If they want you to pass you’ll pass.

i cant wait to see more videos from you. thank you for inspiring us everyday

[@wildcat5095]

Sorry but the drill sergeant routine needs to go in my opinion. Creating rigid environments (eg. Bed and uniform inspections) just reinforces rigid approaches to policing. When faced with a situation or individual that does not comply with narrow minded training you get countless examples of officers stuck in the ooda-loop, going code black because they do not know how to adapt. Totally appreciated the emphasis on PT and firearms, those skills will save your life or someone else’s. That being said, treat your recruits like human beings and they will likely do the same to others within the community.
