THP: Lt. Bighem explains training style

[@genevievesuzi1549]

My son is in trooper training in Nashville! I'm so very proud of him!! God bless our Police Officer's and Trooper's!✌️❤️

[@stephenpope578]

I'd be proud to have the Lt. with me on any type of encounter, anywhere, anytime. He epitomizes the professionalism that is required for a state trooper or law enforcement officer.

[@Slb5988]

This is exactly like Marine Corp boot camp like almost exactly the same

Not quite 🤣

what hair?

[@michaelg.damons6229]

Look at Kentucky State Police, A very tough training no belly over the belts.

[@professional7603]

It is ENOUGH these types of so called old school agencies trying to do everything in very militaristic way. In Modern world, law enforcement training has EVOLVED a lot and is WAY MORE EFFECTIVE!

[@mylescunningham374]

They still have to be prepared none-the-less. You can't train them on how to treat a crying baby then expect them to react properly to a shooter. They're being trained in all fields.

[@professional7603]

@@mylescunningham374 true... but in most modern academies, this style doesnt exist anymore.

[@chadwheeler38555]

Class act!

[@stevekicks269]

He’s such a nice guy

[@iseahprince8352]

How do I join

[@marcushill5060]

His facial expression at 1:06 is hilarious to me

[@ShawnA3104]

hellllllllll naw..... Smh, I would never go to this type of academy........ However, I am attending a 12 week community college Police Academy here in TN in a few weeks; it's a very laid back, college environment, non stress academy

[@W4MBU]

And that is the problem a no stress laid-back Academy that's good for the book learning but not knowing how to control one's self during a high level stress environment is a real bad problem and believe it or not a lot of the new Cadets of nowadays really want the old way of the academy but at the end of the day the teacher is going to be the streets someone Works in

[@ShawnA3104]

@@W4MBU well that's whoever else; I definitely wouldn't want to be at a paramilitary style academy

[@DeputyLukeCole]

Honestly seems like they trying to be militaristic.. I'm not about to leave the military to become disrespected during training to become law enforcement it seems a bit too much

[@basicbodybuilding]

So how would you like the academy to be? Summer camp?

[@andrerichmond296]

The training they are receiving can be the difference between life or death when used in real life situations. i would much rather have training in this fashion.

[@floored3078]

The military just manipulates you and persuades you into doing what they say for minimum pay to feel like part of a team or "family." That's just persuasion tactics and all the drill instructors literally laugh their ass off at how you all eat it up.

[@SIRTROLLZALOT]

There is definitely a difference from dealing with stress in the military and with stress in law enforcement it’s two different worlds and this is coming from a veteran himself.

[@chucklee2507]

Seen many military guys quit highway patrol school within a couple days

[@brendanmurphy3696]

Sounds like Army Basic Training.

[@BomChickyBowWow]

Yeah, let’s take young men, give them military training, and turn them loose as social workers with guns. What could go wrong?

[@AnthonyGman]

Sounds like some wannabe military training. Prob lots of military drop outs

[@549BR]

How to create and train automatonic highway bullies.

[@GaryMichael-jo1sd]

😆

[@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

The only black dude present other than the instructor is the one working in the cafeteria.

[@lloydkerns1273]

There’s another black male checking the cadets as they walk through the door.

[@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

@@lloydkerns1273 lol I did see that afterwards. Funny, look at a Mississippi recruit class and 30% will be black. Watch a Georgia State patrol class and u will see very few blacks there kinda odd.

[@theshadow5800]

Just the pictures alone of the training everything I need to know to understand what a terrible, violent, tyrannical bunch of goons get cranked out of the TN zombie cop academy.

[@jamesbenedict7206]

Lose the goofey looking hats!

[@LikedGecko315]

Drill Sargent wanna be’s.

[@accuratealloys]

Marine wannabe.

[@sharkowner95]

It's modeled after the Army, not the marines. Shit head.

[@stephenpope578]

sharkowner95 Actually, it's the Marines, but that is a good thing.

[@MauofMiami]

accurate alloys first get it straight it's Marines, 2nd. it's called training you maggot.

[@accuratealloys]

I am a Marine FYI. And no. It's just yelling. This silliness is nothing like Parris Island was.

[@jauffreseptim5367]

accurate alloys your a marine sure I'm pretty sure real Marines don't brag about them being a marine
