The Making Of A New Jersey State Trooper (1988 Documentary)

This half-hour long documentary produced by Scott Rokosny of TKR Cable follows the members of the 111th graduating class of the NJSP from the beginning of their training to the start of their career.
In 1989, my dad, at the time an aspiring New Jersey State Trooper, bought this tape directly from TKR so long as he sent them a blank tape to record it on, after not being able to ever catch the whole thing on their local Channel 8.

HOLY CRAP my dad is the guy at 8:55!!! He retired after 25 years of service, as a lieutenant, passed in 2012 - some of the people he trained at the academy escorted his funeral service ❤ MAN I never thought I'd get to see something like THIS!! I got to experience riding shotgun to some of those driving skills at "Take your kid to work Day" - like a theme park ride 😆 But I had no idea he was a driving instructor for that long! Man I can't believe this is on here, so cool to see 😄

I was there during that time living side by side with them. I was an Army recruit and we shared the same barracks and mess hall. Those Trooper recruits had it tough. They were disciplined like Marines and had no freedom at all. The couldnt even talk and had to march in step in pairs everywhere they went. They got screamed at all the time.

tough lol

Im a Marine. We never went home for 13 weeks and this is peanuts compared to Parris Island

[@greatestnitemare6626]

@@KQwest98Stop talking out of your ass. Ask any Marine who is a state trooper in NJ. Majority will say the academy was harder

I was never a cop, stumbled on this video. Every military guy I know, said it was tugger than anything thry ever went through. I knew a.Air Force CCT guy. He told me CCT was.tuffer than the state police. But that was thr only time I ever heard someone say the military was.worse.

[@BigDaddy-pl8js]

Crazy that some of these guys are 30 year police veterans.

[@SuperLou63]

They are all retired already.

Did he point the pistol at the recruit?

[@jimkowalski4449]

If they only have 85 paid slots and 90 recruits about to graduate they will have the best boxers knock out the extra 5 then dismiss them after all that work they put in . Very unfair and they will do the same to any recruit they just dont like .

[@Quadrille763]

And he points the pistol at himself

[@kenweis2291]

They dont tell you about eating out of a trash can! Crawl walking for the first 2 weeks....women were run out of the nj. Police training for a while....such a lie The government had to step in with affirmative action

[@RQBtv]

Sounds like any military/paramilitary organization to me.

[@kenweis2291]

They literally starve the ones they dont want there out....they want mostly big tall guys unless you know someone....bottom line is there process is not fair or humane

[@sonysony-lv8zk]

. All troopers don't follow everything they have taught in academy. If they follow it would be healthy for democracy. we all are humans problem starts when we dictate each other or when we use our power to over power others.

[@KQwest98]

they dont deal with only idiots like you. they have 1000's of them each day

That can go both ways for the ones that also treat others in humane that don’t wear a uniform can’t have your cake and eat it to and if you want to break the transparency and build the bridge between both sides then I’d erg you sign up for the job and show others how it’s done rather then in the safety of a computer/phone screen
