Police Officers are an interesting bunch. All the people in my class have left significantly safer jobs to risk our lives for others on a daily basis. Some were military, some are parents, some were students. Me? I was a waiter. We all did it for a reason though. Granted our reasons were different, but we know the risks involved in our profession.

Training is fairly intense. We take at least one test every three days or so, which we have to pass at 100%. So between studying, PT, and general life, our hands are full. So far we've made it through two tests, and have another on Monday. Fortunately, we have not only a supportive staff of instructors, but the class has become fairly tight in the two weeks we've been together. Our goal is to come in with 24, and leave with 24. With 20 weeks to go, we're still got some ground to cover.

Essentially what I want to do here is chronicle my time in the Academy, and my career in Law Enforcement. You'll hear the good and you'll hear the bad, hopefully more of the good. Every so often I'll provide an update as to my status and the status of the class.

Right now: I'm tired
