THE POLICE ACADEMY!! 

the confusing moment when you've spent so much time watching all of your videos and instead of wanting to avoid and run from cops you kinda want to join them🤔

"Hardest part is staying awake" lol sounds just like the Army

I'm so damn happy you're producing media that helps people have a realistic view of what working as an officer is like. There's so much uninformed, impulsive hate out there towards our entire police force, and the mainstream media sure likes to capitalize on it. So disappointing to see officers massively disrespected for working such a stressful, dangerous job for their community. I mean, I think the legal system as a whole is screwed, and there are absolutely departments out there that need to make some changes, but our culture's perspectives on police need to change as well before any real pragmatic goals can be achieved. Thank you for the videos, and thank you for your service.

"A thousand views is really big for me." -officer401, a couple months ago

I learned the lesson about cardio and 3 mile runs in the first week of BCT... I was not prepared for that. Still, I went on to serve for 10 years. One can learn to be a warrior IF it's in them. With me, it was. Might be in you, too, random reader. :)

"Firefighters vs. Cops" Leaving EMS out, I see how it is brother, lol.

Yo this dude gained 27k in like 8 hours!

What he said about getting into shape during the academy. Reminds me of me when i was going through the fire academy bullshitting the instructors telling the fire chief "yeah i work out every day" day one we ran three miles and PT'd all day with the instructors on our ass. needless to say they found out half of the academy lied about being in shape pretty quickly haha

Hey man, I’ve been watching your videos for a long time. I’m now graduating from the San Bernardino County Sheriffs Academy next week. Thanks for your positive influence and the great information in your vids.

Most people get mad about this but I am SOO happy I got one of your videos in my recommend section I am addicted to your videos they are great! you have gained a new sub.

Police academy in the States sounds a hell of a lot more exciting than in Ireland!

I've been stuck watching your videos for the last hour or so. I'm currently going thru the hiring process with California highway patrol and your videos have given me some good advice! Thanks for taking the time to make all your videos. Keep them coming

Hey man, you probably won’t ever see this but I’m actually thinking about going to the police academy and your videos have been giving me more inspiration to go

I appreciate everything that you are doing in this video! I am 16 years old, and I am in a Criminal Justice class in my high school! This helps me out a lot!

"They'll have make-shift drill instructors that yell at you, it's kind of a joke honestly." Thank. God. Someone finally says it. It is a joke, seriously.

i go into the Police Academy in March after i turn 21 then want to work my way up to either SWAT or the K-9 Unit cant wait!

Waiting for a email for my interview with the chief!! Hopefully I get the job!

I'm from Georgia too! I'm in the hiring process with Gwinnett county. I have an interview with them this upcoming Tuesday.

My dad has been in the Army for 26 years and he just retired and he is going to be a Texas State Trooper in the class of January 2017. He has his spot and I am proud of him.

found that channel today and watched a few videos so far. even if your only sitting in your car and talking i kinda like it :) so you have a new follower now. greetings from germany :)

I have a video of directing traffic for about 45 mins edited down to about 15 😂 I get comments near daily telling me I should be a cop. And I'm considering it.

so the academy is like school. Got it

Can you do a video on the top 5 or 10 workouts to be doing prior to the academy? Thank you for your service and what you do!!!

Ive had bad experiences with Cops which led me to have a negative view but this guy totally changed my way of thinking and he is the coolest Cop

I could never be a cop. I'm not a people person.

I'm getting addicted to your videos, i just can't stop watching them, and I've recommendeded you to all my friends

Hello I plan on joining my local sheriff office this summer and I would like your take on a few things.I am 41 years old and more fit than most if not all the youth in my very small town. My question is what do you think about a person becoming an officer at my age? I have done boot camp 20 years ago and would like to know if you had any older men or woman in your training class?

Nice video!! Can't wait for firefighters vs. cops though

This channel is growing exponentially... It's amazing to see happen.

Thank you .. for the videos.. Big respect from Oregon

You are awesome. I passed the Pellet B and physical endurance test for San Francisco Sheriff Academy. I watch your videos over and over. You're awesome

a good thing to think about paperwork is : "better than getting shot"

401k subscribers for Officer401 . NICE MAN, Congrats and thank you for your videos.

do a burnout in ur squad car

I completed three Academies for three different Police departments trough out my carreer and you're right, EVOC it's the most fun course, about the shooting range, I totally agree with you, spetially when you join as a Lateral Police you see a lot of weird stuff... 👍🚔👮👍

How's the hiring process post academy?

just put in my application to my local department!! keep it up brotha!!

hold up, 6 months? It takes 1,5 years to train to be a 112 operator in finland!

Currently in a big city texas academy, enjoy the vids. Thanks, man.

just subscribed have watched a couple of vids pretty good

The FULL TIME Academy in California is 26 weeks with 3 weeks of Spanish classes.. you will make about 1100 to 1200 a week.until you graduate starting salary in California is approximately 60k to 75k depends on agency.. and you don't wear POLOS in class. you wear your class A unless your in PT..

Thank you very much for your help! I am currently 12 years old and I want to become a cop. I've shot guns before when I was ten and I did it every week. I just want to get into shape even more until I am at the age to go to the police academy. I don't know what it's going to be like because I live in LA, so yeah. I have a really hard time figuring out if I want to be an airline pilot or a police officer. In school, I work very hard and once in a while, I get C's. But always for science. Science is my least favorite subject. Math is my favorite. Then it's PE. Any suggestions for pilot or police would really help. I don't care what you say, I will still read it. Thank you very much!

Rip Broadband TV, I fell for that trap as well. Keep up the cool Vlogs, I have no interest in being a cop but you definitely have a good vibe in your logs, it's awesome to listen to as I'm multitasking.

video length 9:11 emergency contact is 911 coincidence

This guy deserves more subscribers and attention

Can you please anwser.. Lol. Anyways, I'm a junior in HS and want to become a police officer. But don't know if I wanna join the military Army infantry (last option) or go to college and get a CJ degree. But the other that is my first option is got to the jails and be a corrections officer until I'm 21.. what do you think? Since you have a the knowledge...😂

Short videos, but my favorite ones to watch!

I am planning on becoming police officer after I will finish elementary school and get high school diploma.

How the hell do you not have a shit ton of subs... your content is interesting, it's VERY highly quality, and not to mention very fuqing funny

crucial question, run 3 miles in what amount of time?

Good videos brother. Be safe out there and thank you for your service!

!!Get him some more subs people!!

Sweet! I love your Caprice CCV, I can recognize it by the speedometer and infotainment.

I start my academy in less than a week, I cant wait.

He's BLOWING UP!!! Few days ago I looked and he had nearly 76k, now he has over 80k..... Not hating, I'm really happy cuz he deserves this

i want to be a Military Police in the Marines they seem cool

Awesome video! I appreciate you taking the time to share this helpful info.

officer401 whats the intro music???

im 19 and just recently moved to Georgia... i plan on becoming an officer and also want to be apart of the swat team as well... your videos are awesome and wish more cops did stuff like this... keep it up

Now I really want meat and potatoes

In Austria you have to pass a bunch of fitness, written, verbal and psychological exams before going to the academy... and then 2 years of training and another 2 years on the street with an instructor, so a total of 4 years, before you become a "real" cop.

Is there any hooking up with those ladies in the department? Maybe use some of them handcuffs!!😉

I'm a police explorer here in Michigan. We've got an annual academy that our post highly recommends that you attend every year. It's a week long. What MLEYAC does is VERY similar to what you describe. I thought I would have gone there and got into shape, it was definitely the longest week in my life. Watch your six.

Do you have to live in the Academy or do they send your ass home at the end of the day

I love how you commented about the Los Angeles County sheriff demp I was a Explorer with them it's not as bad as other places I have heard I'm going back into it also its such a amazing experience

Here in my area of Canada, the academy for municipal police at the Justice Institute is about 6 months. For our federal cops (RCMP) it is 26 weeks long.

I'm a private investigator, and I am currently working on bail enforcement training. The case studies you mentioned have been discussed in every class I have been in. The minute you named the cases I knew exactly what they were. If I ever decided to join a police department, the class work would be a breeze. I don't think I will anytime soon as I do similar work and get paid a hell of alot more when I have a case load. I respect the guys in blue though.

statey's out on I-69 in michigan, u can see their course from the highway, funny as hell

I am currently enrolled in a Public Safety class in my senior year in highschool, where we go over the basics of Law enforcement, CERT, First Aid, etc... A few months back we had to learn some case laws. When I heard Officer401 say there were two case laws that were going to be on the academy test, I guess both right without hesitation! I guess it's not really something to gloat about now that I think about it... But I thought it was pretty cool that my teacher taught me them.

I had tons of fun at BASIC and AIT as an army MP clearing buildings

The academy you went though was A LOT different then the one my mom went through. She did do the PT every morning, but she came home every day. It was much more relaxed, they did not be drill instructors.

Hey man I just subscribed today and I love your vids I have always wanted to be a cop because my dad is a Michigan State Police and I want to be a cop like you.

Just a comparison. In MN, you need a two year law enforcement degree at minimum. Some departments here require 4 year degrees, and a few agencies here require a 2 yr and paramedic certification. An Associate Degree in Law Enforcement in MN goes like this, semesters 1&2 are general education classes. You go to a normal college and take English 1&2, intro to criminal justice, juvenile justice, sociology, family violence, and a few more. 3rd semester you attend school at a law enforcement consortium and you go in uniform (no duty belt), and learn constitutional issues, criminal investigation, criminal and traffic code, patrol ops. Prior to beginning the 4th semester you need to have a psychological exam, physical and criminal background completed. 4th semester (skills), that's when all the fun stuff happens. Firearms, emergency driving (80mph in reverse on ice, whaaaaat), building clearances, etc. After you pass all that then you get to take MN POST board exam. 400 questions of accumulated knowledge. When you get that letter saying you passed, then the job search begins. MN averages 300 applications for even the crappy PT jobs. Highly competitive area for LE jobs. I'm sure the background packets are the same or similar to GA. Name of your neighbor from 10 years ago, etc. However, there is no Polygraphs or CVSA in MN. I guess they don't see 80% accuracy as reliable. That's my story, sure no one will read all of this. If you did thank you, my thumbs are sore now and it's good to know it wasn't for nothing.

over 2000 subs gain in a day. great job with the videos. really like that intro too.

Congrats on 2k, Loved the video keep up the good work! And man I gotta say this channel is doing 👌 I can't wait to see you grow more man! Any more drone stuff coming soon?

I went through the police academy in Sea Girt NJ (home of the NJ State Trooper academy, I wasn't a trooper though) with the NJ Dept. of Law and Public Safety so naturally we had to be just as hard core as the Troopers (not a bad thing) but I found it funny (and fun) as hell. I went through after 8 years in the Army and a tour in Iraq. So the first day when the instructors are all yelling and cursing and all that shit I just couldn't help but smile. This of course brought them all to me and for the love of God I couldn't stop smirking. Finally the head instructor pulled me aside and asked me what the hell my problem was. Well after I told him that this shit only intimidated and works once in your life and that it did scare me when I was 17 and stupid and in basic training it wasn't working now after my deployment since well once you have been through that a little yelling doesn't do much to you they backed off me a bit and I was able to regain composure. I personally had a blast in the academy. It was painful however, so I suggest doing it while your young or before you have beaten your body to hell and back.

ha i knew both those case laws. nice to hear they give fresh meat a heads up

Our boy celebrating 1000 views Hundred thousands is the norm now!❤

I will never forget the GBI guy for Intox 5k class. Ben Stein want to be and no I was a military police traffic investigator station at Gordon/Augusta not GA LE. Because we dealt with civilians on post we had to take GA certified courses

Hey man, awesome video. Thank you again for the education!

I love your videos so much, thank you. Keep this up

Damn yous been helping me become a cop, theres always pros and cons

Here in Minnesota, you have to go through college to become an officer and after I finish my 2 year degree (on my final semester) I have to spend another 4 months going through the state trooper school. Been all book stuff up until this semester which is the hands on stuff.

I'm from Charlotte NC. Can't wait to hear what you gotta say about these riots.

The car driving part sounds like fun

There are DWI defense lawyers who get the training manual from police academies on DWI and then try to identify ways that an officer didn't follow it in their cases.

I loved watching my son graduate from the police academy.

I went to a week long junior Academy with my State Police. For the first day we just did PT, Drill, and C&C

Good channel. Thank you for all this effort.

100% correct with your info. I’m in the Nypd academy and it’s pretty spot on

12 hours ago you made 60 k subscribers 12 hours later you're on the breaking point of 70k subscribers GOOD JOB!!

I'm currently at my training centre in the metropolitan police (London), and you're right it's a long process with a lot of work, but it's all worth it in the end ;))

This eased my mind. Thank you! I am really looking forward to joining the NOPD. I have military experience and also previous Security/ Correctional experience. My only issue is passing the Civil Service exam. 😂😂 I hate that written test!

In SC you have to be hired on by a dept. no such thing as being "sponsored". SC is only 1 academy. All officers and deputies have to do 12 weeks. The Troopers do the 12 plus some, total of 21 weeks for the Troopers. About to go up to 15 weeks for officers and deputies and 24 weeks for Troopers.

I start the academy in two days. I can't wait

I'm into my 2nd week of the academy in SWFL. It's a 6 month program. PT was moved to 3 days a week, and it is BRUTAL. We do a "warmup" which is actually a small workout honestly, then, they change up what we do. We ran 1.5 miles, sprint 300m, pushups, situps... then the other day we did our vigorous warmup, ran 1.5 miles, lunged half the track, squatted the other half, ran a lap, then did some insane arm excercies. Tomorrow, we're running a major bridge in the city for 3 miles, which will include our vigorous warmup, then at each side we do like 100 burpees before running back. It Fing sucks. As for class, we're getting Legal out of the way, which is the biggest exam we take. You're right about Terry v. Ohio and others. Our Legal chapter is 84 pages of detailed information. Ugh. We do first aid after that, then shooting and driving before November (graduation is Feb. for me). Up north, some academies are 9-12 months, so I'll take 6 months down here no problem, even though I hate FL. You're right about being in shape. I was doing pretty decent with it in the summer, but then had an injury, plus went right into custom orthotics after, so I wasn't able to run for about 1.5-2 months, which killed me. If anyone is reading this and wanting to go into an academy, I'd highly recommend training the cardio buy running inclines, be it on a treadmill, reservoir hills, whatever, for at least 2 miles, trying to make your 2nd mile better than your 1st. This will make your legs invincible/impervious to any pain, as well as drastically boost your endurance plus shed weight quickly. Cut your carb intake to 25g a day if you need to lose weight, too. Pushups, abwork of all kinds, some sprints, and you should be good to go with that. Hydration is key. I'm pounding Pedialyte and gallons of water to be able to keep up. I got heat exhaustion the first day of PT. Some academies are stricter than others. Ones up north were a joke compared to this one. This one is paramilitary, and they're pretty unforgiving. Even if you have a legit excuse to leave or miss a day/hour, whatever, they make you write a paper, 1 page per half hour on the topic you're studying. So, yeah, academy is no joke overall. If you're a Captain Protein/Gym Mirror Flexing Douche, and have good time management skills, as well as good study habits, then you should be just fine with it all.

At the NY State police academy they have a badge ceremony the night before graduation and the next day is graduation

Hearing about how difficult the PT is is kinda funny because we do ALOT more in the Corps 😂

I've recently started watching! I wanna be a cop or go into law when I'm older. Keep the vids up! Also, could you make a video on the drunkest or most highest person you have came across?

Here in Germany you have to attend police academy somewhat between 31 and 36 month and you get a Bechelors degree when you are done
