  • Hey guys, thanks for the support for this channel so far. The work doesn’t stop even with me being fired.
    There is still much content to put out and help those with what i have learnt as a cadet, and what helped with me getting hired and what led to my success in the academy. Thank y’all for the support and continually letting this channel grow. I truly appreciate it.
    Unfortunately this might be the end of the road for me as a police officer, might need to explore other ventures. The future is looking bright.
    Thank you guys again, make sure to like, subscribe, share and leave a comment and it will definitely a reply.
    Peace and Love.
    Gabe Lab.

    When you say “eating shit” that’s a negative way of looking at it. Look at it this way instead, someone does something you deem unfair, disrespectful, rude or unjust, ignore it! Life is funny in that in the future you may get the opportunity to humble that person or have a teachable educational moment but you gotta get there first. As a soldier you know not every battle needs to be fought some things resolve themselves in time. I’m sure there’s another opportunity out there for you that was meant for you brother!

    Bro I’m Nigerian and just graduated from the Police Academy. I’m in my FTO phase 1 now. I went through the same bs you talking about and I can relate to everything u just said.
    Listen to me! I know we go through a lot through the hiring process: the physical and written test, the background, the references, the psychological eval and then gettin into the academy and waking up so early and grinding and trying to learn revised codes and laws plus other bs that comes with it the academy. Listen! Do not stop, it seems your academy was a smaller department, Go to bigger departments, even if you have to move to Austin, Houston or Dallas. Don’t give up on your dream… if the police is what you really want, then go for it cos trust and believe, there’s no other job you can be happy doing, no matter how cool or how much that job pays… if it’s not the police, it’s not it. People are afraid to start all over, Go and apply and start from the beginning, you’re young bro

On the state exam we have 3 chances to take until we pass, I failed my first failed my second and finally passed my final exam. I studied my ass off and got what I always wanted .

    People who have never been through the police academy have no idea how strict it is. Worse than bootcamp. We had a guy that got sent home because he went to the dorm room with his duty weapon before checking it into the armory. Big no no. He was doing good in the academy. However, they had zero tolerance for code of conduct vuolations. A lot of vets don't realize that most police academies are tougher then basic training. I thought the same thing and like a dummy, I don't prepare myself like I should have after getting out of the military. They ran us to death and I had to study hours for the legal exams. We had a lady with a Master Degree that almost failed because she couldn't pass the night driving test. Luckily, you get two attempts at skills tests and she passed it the second time around.

Security services is in the middle of the compass. Choose your path wisely. Remember that everyone has firearms learn to control yourself and gain your discipline.

    United States Marine here… if I were you I’d reenlist in the military but cross over to another branch. Marines and Army aren’t ideal for a career ie many don’t reenlist and make a career out of it since it’s two of the tougher branches to spend over 20 years in. But… the Air Force and Navy are way better branches of you’re wanting to make a career out of it. Also look into the Space Force. Many opportunities out there brother. You’ll find something. If I had to do it all over again, when I got out of the Marines I would have reenlisted but switched branches and gone into the Air Force. I spent some time on an Air Force base in Okinawa Japan. Kadena Air Force base and let me tell you, they all got along, the perks were good, no drama and the people seemed to really enjoy their jobs. That’d be the branch I’d choose if I wanted to continue on in the military and make a career out of it. Hope this helps.

    Doesn’t mean it’s over for you. As an academy instructor hear me out if you’re interested in seeing your dream come true. “ cops” eating shit isn’t the issue here….you are a trainee or cadet and realizing your place for the duration of the program is key. In other words arguing or getting mad cause you thought a staff member disrespected you is a lack of bearing of who you are as a trainee. Different academies have a variety of discipline standards but grabbing wall at attention and shouting sir, ma’am, good morning sir, ma’am etc is standard for many cadets when any staff or employees are anywhere near them. if you’re triggered by “ disrespect” you might want to examine yourself if this is the career for you because it will happen at some level often throughout your career. I took the time to respond because if it’s what you want to do it would be a shame to let one set back like that stop you. You seem like a smart young man who has potential… Learn from it and get back on the grinder.

Because of who I was he believed I was taking a day off being last that I was not pushing myself and instantly got all over me. All the other instructors were laughing cause they knew I was in first place but this guy did me dirty and when I could eat take it anymore another instructor came over to me and told me don’t say shit just take it. It could have ended bad I could have hurt him but the lesson is keep your cool and composure at all times because you just never know what this training is getting you ready for in real life! Best of police to you and know God will open more doors for you! Don’t give up!

      @@gabelab7252 Remember, the academy is meant to push you to your breaking point. They need for you to reach your breaking point, so you can grow beyond your breaking point.
      But if you don't know this. Forget it's just a game. Forget it's just a test Then over react. You will always lose out.
      Learning how to control your emotion is critical to Law Enforcement. I would not be surprised if your situation was planned to test you. You clearly failed the test. And if it was a test, it would have shown how valuable of an asset you could be.
      Very few cadet need to be tested in this manner.
      In my experience, very few cadet have breaking point that require methodical measure to reach or for instructors to see.
      FYI, the idea is for the staff and you to recognize your breaking point. Grow past your current breaking point. Then, learn how not to allow yourself to reach your new breaking point when on the streets, in public or on the job.
      GET IT!

    Technically, you weren't "fired", since you were still on probationary status, so you weren't actually "hired" yet. The recruit training and the follow-up probationary period are part of the hiring process. So, you weren't actually "fired". Now, people may say I'm playing with words, but these terms DO make a big difference if and when you apply to another LEO agency. Lots of guys get "let go" during the probationary period. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Just take a hard look at yourself and try to fix whatever the problem was that got you released from the academy. But once you are finally 'hired' and complete your probationary period, if you get "fired for cause" after that, good luck ever getting another LEO job again. Nobody is going to want to hire you. But if you only failed to complete your probation, that isn't looked upon as a big deal.
