I Tried Police Academy 

"When was the last time you chased someone?" "I chased a tank once..." "What?!"

"Been on for 20 years now" - literally looks 20. These people are FIT.

Very heroic police officer saved my life in 2011. No one heard, didn't make headlines or the news, wasn't on social media. Bad cops victimizing communities treating human beings like they aren't, only get coverage. Media should cover brutality extensively just not to the exclusion of all else. Thank you for this video and raising awareness.

Michelle’s teacher: what you want to be when you grow up? Michelle: EVERYTHING!!

I can literally feel the second hand embarrassment when he was waiting for her to give him a high five lmao 6:17

She really put herself through it for this video, physically and emotionally

Not quite sure how I stumbled across this video. As a currently serving police officer, I love that you dove into this without bias and published it for the world to see. The individuals (officers) in this video are very good at explaining the tactics used and it shows that they have a passion for training and putting on the streets the best possible police recruits. Thank you for enduring this to show your subscribers.

Teacher: What do you want to be when u get older Michelle: Yes

That recruiter be like, “please quit RU-vid and join us”.

Omg the end made me cry. Whenever she got pepper sprayed and then until the end, I almost cried. Being a police officer is really hard and tough. We don’t show them enough respect. ❤

i can surely appreciate all the training and sacrifice these men and women do for us and put their lives on the line every day for us.

Elementary teacher: what do you want to be Michelle: everything Elementary teacher: you can’t be everything Michelle: hold my juice box

Shit just got real on this RU-vid channel.

Im kind of obsessed with you videos. They are so go and genuine. 👏👏 you’re doing a great job Michelle

I love how you give everything a go with an open mind. Thank you Michelle for your channel.

She's a badass for doing the whole course, but especially the taser and pepper spray thing. The latter really really sucks.

6:20 when she didn’t give him that high five at first I felt that 😂🤦‍♀️✋🏻

This is very educating being a middle schooler I think you did and awesome job Michelle and you had to go thru a lot a pain and your super brave love your videos all so keep up the work

im a out of closet traffic control agent and this video was great, i have years with security, police reserves, police department and traffic control and these types of videos help me keep my composure in stressfull situations. THANK YOU so much for this video. keep it up Thank You

“I can’t see” “YES YOU CAN” It’s like in the army when someone’s like “ I CANT BREATHE” and they say “if you’re talking you’re breathing”

I feel like Michelle is my real life Barbie. She’s beautiful, independent, kind, and caring. But most of all she doesn’t limit herself, she can be and do anything. And I think that’s very admirable.

thank you for this video. i am 23 years old obtaining a sponsorship through my local police department to attend our BLET program. This video has given me tremendous insight & the ability to prepare myself "somewhat" for my training. This Career has been a life long dream of mine & ive been blessed to watch it become apart of my reality. Again thank you so much for what you do.. this is very very helpful.

I really appreciate the fact that you had the guts to complete your mission, to bring another perspective to the attention of the public. Thank you!

You should do a series with first responders. You already did the police, so next you should do the fire department then EMTs.

2019: I tried Police Academy 2030: I tried being president

Your videos are PRIME quality, so much effort. You are so inspiring for pushing yourself and doing these things. Someone give you a damn Netflix show already. It'd be a smash.

This is a really well done video. You showed both perspectives very well and fairly and allowed those police to say what they wanted to say. Kudos to you and the San Diego police department.

When that sergeant’s high five was left standing I felt that lol

Barbie: I’ve had every career!!! Michelle: hold my beer

very new to your videos, going down the rabbit hole now after your collab with Michael Reeves. I admire how much variety of occupations you go out and try, You show when youre intimidated, you show vulnerability, and you're open and honest with everyone, especially this video with how police have become something people fear, but you had an open mind and open dialogue with these officers. Kudos to you Michelle! :)

3:21 Obstacle Course 6:41 Firearms training 11:18 Tactical Driving 15:21 Arrest and Control 21:02 Call Scenarios 24:16 Active Shooter Training 27:35 Pepper spray

That missed high-five killed me inside💀

“We need to get her a badge,” oh lord what a compliment!

RESPECT to the SDPD as well Michelle for showing us what PD encounter with everyday basis and etc. As for now I'm following you and liking your content. GREAT content🤙♥♥🔥💯

Thank you Michelle for making videos like this .Your realy someone that i look up to in life

I’m an EMT and I’d love to see you train as an EMT since we’re usually forgotten about in the first responder world.

When she was freaking out about being tazed and he asked if she was ready and she collected herself and said Yes like such a strong ass person: instant tears

Thank you so much for this video ❤I definitely needed it to prepare myself for the academy

This was an incredibly great video. I wish more police dents opened their doors to let people experience how real the job is and hos much stress the job can be. Thank you very much

“It’s on youtube actually” that was so funny to me

Other youtubers : turning into a VSCO girl for a day blah blah blah Michelle : I’m a cop 👮🏻‍♀️

Can we just appreciate how much she does for us And what she’ll go through just to make a video❤❤❤❤

The amount of respect that I have for these officers and people that go through this like Michael is insane.

The officer: “I’ll give you a little blessing of pepper spray” Also the officer: *sprays more pepper spray than James Charles uses setting spray*

I can't believe she is releasing such high-quality content, at this length, for free on RU-vid. This is definitely one of the best channels. This could've easily been a documentary shown on cable TV or something.

Awesome video! I'll be going to the Police Academy in FL this Oct and this video really helped me get in that law enforcement mind set 👍

I learn so much in Michelle channel, I love it

"I'm going to refrain from that responsibility..." So humble.

The people who are calling her dramatic for her reaction to being tased and pepper sprayed clearly have never experienced either.

I have a lot of respect for you to go and experience the other side of a conversation to fully understand what is being discussed. A lot of people only listen to one side or another and don’t research everything before making a conclusion.

Well done for going through that! From a former police officer. I would love to see an episode where you do a ride-alongs on real shifts for a week.

“I can’t see!” *”YeS yOu CaN!”*

Michelle: I can’t see Them: Yes you can Me: mom I can’t see Mom: if you wasn’t on that damn phone maybe you could see

Thank them for their efforts to keep the community safe

wow this was more eye opening than I was anticipating. Way to go through this Michelle

She actually did pretty good considering. And how she acted after the pepper spray was definitely not an overreaction, shit is extremely painful

the fact that she actually past a majority of the tests is amazing

i love your videos and it encouraged me to do things i wouldnt normally do

You are stronger than many I have met, and I spent 20 years in the army. Good work.

*”with ten seconds to spare” Her: Left him hanging for 10 seconds*

I just can’t get over someone stealing a tank...A WHOLE TANK 😂😩 Definitely automatic 5 stars

Loved watching this. Thank you. I've subscribed.

I have a lot of respect for you doing this, my grandpa was actually a police officer at the same place you did this at ❤ keep doing this you have no idea how much you have inspired me

I really felt for the guy when she didn’t high five him

Someone: "I need a ballerina to replace an abcent ballerina-" Michelle: "I can be tha-" Someone: "I need a clown for my circu-" Michelle: "I can be that too-" Someone: "We don't have enough austro-" Michelle: "I can also be that too-" Someone: "Ugh, we need to camp the area but our police friends are sick-" Michelle: "I can help!-" A nurse: "Hey, can you be our doctor-" _Michelle has left the chatroom_

She is an amazing person and is so brave it’s inspiring as a woman myself she is someone I would look up to

In the beginning with the boat and stuff it reminded me of this one time where me and my friends were sitting on the sid of the road next to a ditch and this cop who lived in the sub division I think slowed down and shouted out "you guys should move more into the ditch because you someone might come speeding around the corner and clip you" and I didnt feel embarrassed one bit I felt normal like it was just a cop doing their job protecting people (I was still in elementary at the time by the way) we all even laughed a bit about it and that possibly saved our lives so yeah

Michelle reminds me of Barbie- she can literally be anything

The guy who took that pepper spray like a champ is the hero in this video

I was tased in the Marine Corp and pepper spray in Corrections academy.. getting sprayed is worst ! It lingers for so long. Almost had a panic attack 😂

super interesting video that not only shows behind the scene, but also everything that the media refuse to show. well done 👍👍

I love how she didn’t see the officer trying to high five her after she finished the obstacle course for literally a minute.

Job interviewer:"what are you qualified for?" Michelle:"everything." Job interviewer:"EVERYTHING?" Michelle:"E V E R Y T H I N G."

Love watching her work💯🔥👏🏾

Damn. I live in san diego, and I also want to try my hand at becoming a police officer, so it was nice to get a bit of insight on what I may need to do. Amazing as always Michelle!

She is like Barbie she tried so many professions

Please do “I tried FBI academy”

getting pushed so much, and being tazed, sprayed, and more-just proves that she can do almost anything pushed at her. that is why she is so amazing, and i love her content, I wouldn't not want to do this when im older. this is life changing and i would gladly do this.

That is an Amazing Learning video , I Salute to all the Training Officers who was Involeved in Providing Training with full scenarios ,, It's indeed a Mental , Physical ,Emotional challenge against a Time which is clicking on the real life scenarios,,, All the T.O.'s, Please be safe and keep up the hard work ,,

I could see her being a cop in that uniform lol

I can definitely see her as a Police Officer, FBI Agent, Marine, Chef, Runway and Victoria Secret Model, etc...you go girl!

You’re absolutely awesome 👏 I don’t even know you but I am proud that you did this successfully. Great job!!

You really inspired me to learn new things and fight through things

To be honest I can easily imagine her as an officer.

Michelle, you should do a “I trained like a Firefighter”.

as much as i enjoyed watching this video, as I felt sad to see only 12 million views. this type of production should be shown by at least 100 million taking into consideration that Michelle went through rough experiments, and test to show her audience what those heroes goes through daily to keep the community safe.

Considering police academy, as my local police force is still understaffed. Thank you for this, it gave me so much insight! Rock on.

Why is she so good at all this FBI, military and police stuff

I felt bad for the guy that was training her at the beginning poor man he only wanted a high five Edit: thanks so much for 1k likes

Wow..seeing her react to pepper spray made me wince. Watching Michelle work with cops to sample life as a cop is amazing. She has an innocence to her that is endearing and it shows on her face as she learns.

Wow I can't imagine to fathom what pepper spray felt like and I can see from this amazing video of what police training is like, well done for putting yourself out there Michelle.

This girl took the Barbie’s “You can be anything” to heart

Me as a kid: *I wanna be a police officer!* Me after watching this video: *ight imma head out..*

Great video, especially since I’m currently in training. Thank you 🎉

The amount of time she puts into these because like I would never do this I’m brave or my town and she would be like a hero in my place Don’t give up!

This could have been a three hour documentary and she fit it into 30 minutes. I would so watch more of this! She deserves WAY MORE than 800,00 views for the effort and professional style of this video-- and more than 1.5 mil subscribers!!!

Michelle is the real life kim possible she can do anything

As someone that wants to become a police officer, I know the police academy is no joke. Your experience in the SDPD academy gives me an inside of what to do before I have to don the uniform and badge.

If I was in the taser and pepper spray situation, I would have never survived them. I have so much respect for Michelle.
