What a day in the Life of a Police Cadet at the Academy looks like

- What’s up guys.
Today I decided to take you on a little journey with me of what a day in my life looks like as a police cadet. In this video I would pretty much show you how my day starts from the house, to getting breakfast and the stuff we do as police cadets which is mostly class room work or whatever the schedule dictates. I hope you like this video and I tried my best to cut as many parts as possible so it doesn’t end up being too long. Hope this helps someone who is also trying to take this path of life or someone who is just curious as to what a day in a police cadet life looks like.
If you loved this video and/or you want to see more content (police academy content to be specific at least for now)- make sure to LIKE, COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE and of course turn on POST-NOTIFICATIONS. Show some love to the channel.
I try to drop my videos on this channel every week, but sometimes the job demands a little more and that sorta messes up with my posting timeline.
Peace and love to everyone.
Gabe Lab.
The fact you were able to even film this shows me how relaxed this academy is lol. My academy wouldnt even let us have our phones on our person for the entire 21 weeks we were there. No hate or anything though, we all do the same job in the end so keep striving man
I had to sneak to take a whole lot of these videos, and sometimes I got permission which was pretty nice
Did you find the police academy acdemics exam extremely challenging?
@@JPGStrokeys who was talking to you? nobody.
@@JPGStrokeys ha, these kids had lunch time my academy wouldn’t allow that, back when i had class wake up time was 2am from a pistol whip, these kids wouldn’t understand
@@kev6557 nobody cares 😂
Sorry if it feels like I have been deleting and bringing back my videos, TH-cam has just messing with the quality of my video…so I had to get it right..but it’s all good now, enjoy 👍🏿
I graduated from the academy in 2011. Although I didn't get hired on with law enforcement, it was one of the best achievements in my life. Very proud of it.
How come u didn’t get hired bro? If u don’t mind me asking
@@jakerebel7566 right
@@jakerebel7566 Right. They're desperate to hire people
@@jakerebel7566 probably fucked it up some how, the guy in the vid got dropped as a cadet too I think for fighting with one of the higher ups
Sorry that happened… I hope you tried again or found something else you love doing
I am currently going through my post secondary education needed before I head to the academy, this video made me feel excited and optimistic and It’s cool to see so many others who feel the same
all de best
You got this…I wish you the best with it all
Good stuff man. I appreciate the energy at your academy. Your boy in your class that is sitting next to you definitely trains pulling his sidearm when he is watching TV. That boy is ready for patrol. Best luck to all of you.
lol fr
Thanks man…make sure to let him know it too
Im about to go into my senior year of high school. And this video already makes me exited for police academy after i finish high school and get my degrees in criminal justice in college. Keep doing what you're doing bro, great job.
I’m starting my first year of HS this year. I have the same plan of college and academy and I’m going to get into shape.
Get into it… wish you all the best and thank you
Don’t get it in criminal justice, get it in something useful like finance or psychology if you want to understand the reason why the criminals you’ll interact with do things and what triggers their impulses to do stupid or non stupid things
this is an awesome video bro, appreciate it and the work you do. hope policing's going well for ya
THIS IS THE KIND IF VIDEO I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!! I want to see this kind of thing
Yessuh…I’m glad you found it, more videos and content coming
the fact they let you film in class like this is super cool of the instructors
Came across your page and I’m glad I found it and wanna wish you all the success
This academy is so relaxed man compared to mine. We got screamed and yelled at for the first two months then after a while we earned little privileges like snack time and stuff. I didn’t get to go out and get lunch at all we had to bring lunch we had no refrigerator or a microwave. Plus I had to shave my head and couldn’t start growing my hair back until the middle of the Academy but my hair couldn’t be but a inch and a half long military fade. I missed my waves and I’m still trying to get my waves back lol.
Oh wow that’s some military type academy run…that’s what’s up tho, might just suck a lil
@@gabelab7252 No shade towards your academy brother I’m a cop in NJ now and I got nothing but respect for you. Either way we both have dangerous jobs and will see things that the average person won’t have to. So no shade towards you brother we both represent the same thing which is protecting and serving our communities. Stay safe my brother both of us are black men choosing a profession that our people lack trust and connection with. Just continue to remember to stay safe and always treat people with respect and to never violate someone’s dignity because at the end of you take everything from us that’s all we have at the end of the day.
thats how it is in Nashville Academy
@@lilmichael6155 I wish I went to Nashville Academy because the Police Academies in NJ are definitely Quasi Military. You get yelled at and smoked for everything.
@@jackwashington8664 Haha no im saying Nashville 6 month academy comes with the yelling and getting smoked, shaved heads and ect....
Probably the most chillllll academy ever! Thats cool. Keep up the hard work!!
Thanks! Will do!
Honestly you have motivated me so
Much and I don’t regret my decision in becoming a police officer in the future.
Very very honorable job, and I’m proud of you for doing it as well
don't join law enforcement. your career and all that hard work can be taken away in the blink of a eye and then you will be looking for a fresh start. nobody respects police officers. if you truly want to get in law enforcement you should get a degree and then get a good fed job.
@@jacoboreilly7526 I second this comment. From Australia & no one wants to be a cop anymore even after they graudate from the acamedy - the high turnover of cops here is crazy. We've got recruitment branches makeing all these fancy commercials to attract new cops. Working in specialised Federal its not necessarlily the Uni Degree they care for, but your work experience you can obtain from other facets if you aren't a cop such as Correctional Officer/Millitary etc
@@Zekriax well guess what, for any job anyone can say something 'bad' about it. its pretty pointless
These people don’t know shit. Being a cop is fucking amazing. Don’t let these people shoot down your dream. Working the streets in a major Metro area is incomparable to any job.
A lot of people do quit but that’s because they can’t handle it. You will experience things that 99 percent of people won’t experience in their lifetime. Stand by to stand by for the best time of your life.
With that being said don’t go with any sorry ass PD. Be mindful of pay, benefits and retirement. You need to be properly compensated for the risk and injuries you will endure in the job.
This is so cool!! I currently live in Louisiana and I’m trying to get into law enforcement too so I’m trying to get on with another department but I’ve always wondered and thought about doing a vlog but I just don’t know what to really talk about and I’m kinda camera shy so I’m very excited to see this!!
Go for it, it definitely will feel weird at first holding a camera and tripod but eventually it catches on and next thing you know some people might wanna be in your vlog
You have no right being that jacked 😂😂nah good stuff man, would love to see more vids like this
Lol …I’m tryna get bigger brother, Preciate the love and definitely more content
The cardio B part was too funny😂
Going to the academy on January 17th , Thanks to the lord! This video helped a lot bro. Keep doing what you do.
Sure thing…I’m glad it helped.
And good luck with the academy.
@@gabelab7252 thank you sir!
January 17th? sounds like NYPD academy. Me too 💪🏽
@@wahduhhec Im at an academy in Texas bro 👌🏽. It’s tough 😅😂
Great video. I was a Police Officer in Baltimore City, Maryland for 20 years. I was a Marine for 20 years I’m retired and wish I had never left
Thank you for your service
Thank you for this video 💙
My pleasure
What kind of relaxed police academy was this?!? Bdu's, polo shirts?? Wow. Lots have changed since I went to the academy in 92😊
I feel you bro the old strict basic training academy’s are for the past mostly thank god, I went to Air Force BMT said never again to anything like that. Glad my academy is through a community college and hella relaxed
I hope your relaxed training prepares you for all the relaxed situations you'll be in
@@earl2907 yeh i mean they are eventually going to get in challenging situations.
what’s the academy called?
My police academy experience was totally different.
You shaved your head the entire time in the academy, you wear suits until you’re given the privilege to wear the academy uniform (smurfs).
You don’t get to actually wear an actual police uniform until the week prior to graduation.
The PT is very military like.
You don’t speak and chat in the hallways, only in the class room when the instructor is gone or allows us to talk (mostly about studying).
Or you can chat in the break room but not all loud.
We had to stand at attention when there was an instructor passing us or if the instructor or our DI walked in the classroom when we’re not in class setting.
The DI’s would smoke (make you PT) if someone messed up or was late.
We definitely didn’t have time to go out to get some food.
We ate the lunch we brought and it had to be ate usually after PT and shower, so we would have like 5 min to scarf the food down.
No cell phones, no sun glasses, people had to cover up their tattoos and obviously no facial hair.
The discipline was honestly great. Felt like we worked as a team and for a goal. People kept others in check.
We had a class leader, quad leaders and class president.
Everyone knew what the task the next day was and knew they should be prepared to be on top of their game. Everybody looked sharp and squared away.
It’s definitely interesting to see how different academies are around in diffident states.
Which state you went into the police academy?
@@2mchjoy103 In California
Nice Supra bro. Currently an MP, considering civilian LE. Thanks for the insight.
No problem ma man and thanks
It’s insane how different your academy is from what mine was lol. We had to had our heads shaved, no facial hair, in formation at 0615 every morning. God forbid someone had a phone or a chick fil a cup the instructors saw we would’ve been pt-ing til sundown
Our local 6 month course here in SE Texas is 6 months & super laid back. We have way too many overweight cadets down here. No polishing or "Military" type inspections or training
SE Texas where? Lol I need to work there.
Damn I hope y’all get some experienced people out there
Bro your academy is so chill! In mine we wake up 0400 to be in formation everyday and we have to shave all the time that’s crazy to see how chill your academy is. We get yelled at a lot lol
I was seriously hoping I wouldn’t get such an academy….so much like basic
How did you find the police academy acdemics exam
To completely honest for being 2 month prior to graduation. This academy looks very laid back and relax. You can even leave to get lunch ? Flim and no military structures is surprising
I’m in the academy as well and I can’t wait to be done it’s taken a toll over me, my graduation date is April 18, 2023. Good luck bro
Hell yea brother, can’t wait. Goodluck to you man
Same here man. The PT part is taking its toll, but 8 weeks and we’ll be through 😅
Much respect to you both 🙏
How did you find the police academy acdemics exams
@Shawn C police academy acdemics exam
love the content bro
I appreciate that..trying my best
God bless you brother ❤
Thanks man
Your academy was Disney land.
I was up at 4, got there an hour early, prepped my squad. we had PT for an hour and a half before class. We all had to stand and talk in at attention. Got smoked 50% of the time on breaks, lunch or after class was done for the smallest infraction that someone did. Had to study at night and hoped you passed all your tests. In addition to making sure your uniform was spotless each day.
If anyone would have walked in like you did it would have been Hiroshima.
0600 is when school starts and we salute the flag 😂
Found this by accident, super interesting. Keep it up ---> subbed ;-)
Greetings from Germany
Thank you, glad you liked it
I am currently doing 22 weeks of infantry OSUT and I’m hoping to get a career in law enforcement after my contract. Hopefully I get to go home every day.
Stay safe out there brother and you got this
I've been really tempted to join our local academy, had a chance in high school and unfortunately passed it up but now I'm almost 30 and I still feel destined to be a police officer. Is there any tips you could provide to someone like myself? Perhaps workout routine outside of training, tips for in class training that you may have run into yourself and became knowledgeable of.. thanks stay safe out there
Contact your local Police Dept and ask about their requirements to pass their preliminary agility test. I believe most Police departments have a basic requirement of a 1.5 mile run in 15 mins 20 sec, 18 push ups in a minute, and 28 sit ups in a minute. That is a good place to start. Here in Maryland you'll also need to pass a background investigation, psych evaluation, and polygraph before your eligible to enter the Academy. I'm 38 and hopefully starting the Academy in Sept. Your never to old to follow your dreams if you want it bad enough. Good Luck!
That alarm drives me crazy 😂
Lol I hear that brother 😂
Woww that academy seems so chill, which one do you go to?
God bless stay safe God loves y’all all I hope everyone has a blessed day and great day ✝️🙏✝️🙏
For those who care. It takes until 9:18 to get into the building.
Lol I had it vlog it all 😂
do u guys get yelled at? also what did the taser feel like, and what did pepper spray feel like?
Man I’m a cadet now and I can’t wait till I go to the academy and get it over with
Hell yea, good luck with it man, you got this man
@Gabe Lab how did you find the police academy acdemics exam
Lol when I went thru the police academy in 2014, we couldn’t have no phones at all, basically no contact with the outside world for 12 weeks until we went home on the weekends
Man…. My academy is nothing like this. And I love it lol
Thats my dream be a police officer and protect and serve its so cool
Proud profession to be in brother, wish you the best in it
When I went the academy I got up everyday at 0420. I was at the gate waiting to be let in the parking at 0600. The academy didn't start until 0700😢😢
Thanks for the insight man. Cool video. Its prertty embarassing that all these people are coming out of the woodwork saying that their academy was so much harder though.
Different strokes for different folks i guess
Look forward to seeing you on the streets! Be safe my friend.
You be safe to man
Thank you for this video ! Looking to join soon!
You’ve got this, and its my pleasure making the video
Did you become a cop?
2nd year on the job Philadelphia PD . I don’t remember being so chilled during academy , it doesn’t even look like an academy…. Looks like a google call center
Wow, never seen a non-stress academy before. In our academy, we'd assemble and march into the classrooms, subject to any scrutiny unless actually in classroom or C7, we were pretty much at some form of attention, all 26 weeks. And there was never such thing as "I don't plan on running."🤣
Actually same here there’s no I don’t plan on running but yea definitely more chilled
Wow sounds like you went to boot camp. Thanks freedom fighter
Ya'll have to run a lot? How much running and how often? Like, is it M W F some form of running for PT?
Yea something like that, 3 days of running for sure. Did not necessarily have to be M W F, and then some days we just had a random unexpected run
When I started back in the late 1990's pay was $10.85 hr. It's higher now, depending on where you're located. My brother has been in SE Houston Special Task Force for over 22 years & makes $27hr as a Sgt. He has his own team & works more with the Rangers, Swat, Marshal's, DEA & other Federal Agencies. Good luck & Get Sum 🤟
Hell yea brother
22 yrs and only making 27hr is crazy
@@jacoboreilly7526 I'm glad you said it because I was thinking the same thing lmao
@@jacoboreilly7526 fr
Damn, Texas LEO pay must be low. In California LEO pay normally at least 40 an hour starting, and much higher after 22 years.
If they are like showing the slides on the PPT. do you write it down or kind of like memorize it- I'm wondering
We write what we need to right down but we also have the study materials provided to us on a learning platform
in portugal you need to stay in the police academy for 9/10 months and pass all the tests to join the police. Im currently in the academy to finish it in october, i will make it !💪 I wish i could have your routine though ahahahah for us is 24/7 in the academy
Idk if you’re in the academy or not but I wish you good luck with it
We weren’t even allowed to have phones lol. Relaxed af
Every academy is different based on department
been trying to decide whether I want to be a police officer or stick with my plans of being a mechanic. im more convinced to do this than be a mechanic but still not sure currently.
you can try both
You sure get paid pretty good as a cop or a mechanic depending on where and who you work for…just gotta find what you look like doing
hey man i want to become a police officer. Do you go to the academy like going to college or school on a daily basis? Is it almost like a 9-5 job?
Yea you go to the police academy which is basically a 9-5 job in a school setting. Depending on your academy you might get to go home everyday, others you sleep in the facility assigned to you and that would be your location for the whole academy.
A black man in Law Enforcement, this is what I like to see💯 prayers for your journey!
Thank you
black, brown, orange, purple, green, white or whatever person we should all appreciate they're efforts
What song were you singing on The way to the academy?
I have to drive 70 Miles to and from the academy every day. My mornings will start at 0400 and sometimes the academy goes late and I wont get home til the AM
Thank you for your service
Military OSUT MP 0500 wake up with drill sgts in your face. Basically roll out of your bunk and start doing push-ups. Not sure if it’s easier now than it was in 2017.
I’m in a academy off police here at Brazil 🇧🇷
My police academy experience was many years ago but I never got to wake at 0600. I got up at 0400 to be at first formation by 0600. The instructors shouted up at 0730. We needed the 90 minutes to get squared away. Lunch was 30 minutes. It was streets all the time. Also, we never drew our weapons(simulate or actual) in class. Weapons only came out during critical role playing or at the range.
Damn that sounds a lot like basic, I respect it tho, yea I’m glad this academy was chill
@@gabelab7252 This was because once on the job the stress was real. No do overs once you are on the streets. "A chill" police academy sounds to me like an oxymoron? Just my thoughts after a long career in Law Enforcement.
@@mikeparker6322 slow down mike
@@gottgaame I retired many years ago.
Nobody cares dude times have changed for the bette get over yourself just because you had to be miserable doesn’t mean everyone else has too
How far along in the academy are you right now? Out of curiosity, btw you going straight into the job once you're certified or you still gotta apply for an agency after the academy?
I was 5 months in and I went in sponsored thru a police department as opposed to paying myself so I would have gone straight to the job
@@gabelab7252 you thru the FTO program?
Hi man. I want to be a police officer in usa too. I am very young actually and I don't live in usa but I'll come there and I will make my dreams come true. I am gaining information for being a police officer in usa and I always wanted to know what the academy was like. So this video helped a lot. I am writing this comment after 1 year you published the video because ı find this video randomly but I'll look to your channel. So if you succeseded to become a police officer congrats. (Sorry if I made any gramer mistakes while writing this comment. English is not my mother tongue.)
Bro I wish my academy was like this. We all got yelled at and had to be in formation by 0430 even though start time was supposed to be 0700😂. Had PT and 3-4 hours of defensive tactics back to back.
Damn that’s rough man, we had defensive tactics for only a week and we thought that was rough. Y’all are beasts man
Yo dawg I need prayer to get into this police academy in Florida I love being a security officer/guard but I’m feeling that calling for law enforcement to be specific a sheriffs office
Same boat as you man. Hopefully you get in!
I got you bro! You got this bro! I start my academy with my local police department next week on Tuesday.

Five weeks out from taking TCOLE. I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit nervous even with an 85% GPA.
You got this…get that win
@@gabelab7252 Mission complete
Up at 6!!!! OMG YOU GOT TO SLEEP IN!!!! lol I had to be in formation by 6 AM 5 days a week. Couldn't leave for lunch, had to bring in our drinks and food. If you missed one day you would be recycled back into the next class. Even leaving early was considered abandonment they told us get your life in order for the next 6 weeks. I had one day where I got home late and shaved the night before so I didn't do it that morning before going in and I got ripped a new one. They also couldn't figure out their uniforms while i was there. I wore 511's and one week that was ok the next week i got written up for it because we were supposed to be in state approved pants only. The next week we were told it was ok, and then i got written up for it a week later again lol.
BEST TRAINING BEST MOMENT BRAVO MOTIVATION EN RED 👍👉✍️🙏

this dude got some freak of nature genetics, look at his triceps back and arm span lmao
Hey I appreciate it man… the gains are coming in
A lot more older guys then i expected in the academy
7:00 this is so funny to me😂
😂😂…mango
In the met (London police service) we had to wear a full suit and tie to Hendon which is our "academy"
Wow I would like to know how the London police academy works
@@gabelab7252 depends on how you join but on the IPLDP (initial police learning and development program) we do 17 weeks initial training which covers laws and power's of arrest and search, self defence and emergency life saving etc then we go out on street duties which is patrol with a tutor constable untill we get IPS (independent patrol status) then we've got 2 year's probation where we're still assessed and have to go back to police college occasionally.
My academy made us leave our phones in our vehicles. Got 5 mins a week if we were lucky to try to talk to family. Hardest part of the entire academy
imma be honest, i see a big diff between military and this. i was 0311 in the marines just got out and no way anyone would’ve made it out alive with all that giggling and laughing during that ‘training’ he’s doing. Also doesn’t look like they practice good stance habits @14:25 you can see how getting the weapon out is more important than solid base/proper footing is.
Hey bro are you a fellow African too? Can head a accent can’t pinpoint it lol. I’m trying to be a deputy sheriff in the Houston area after college next year hopefully 🙏🏾
I’m Nigerian brother, and goodluck to you with the sheriff position you’re working towards
We start on 4:45, 1 km jogging, and Day ends 21:45 in my academy.
7 months on barracks, next 6 months in riot squads-then we go to our parent unit
Sorry for my English.
Greatings from Poland 😁
Hi there i hope it’s going well so far
wow when I went through, we sure as hell couldnt have any phones till the last week. Couldnt leave the property to eat either. Wow looks sick
Damn that’s crazy ….can’t even imagine what that was like
whats the average age in the police academy? I saw some guys look like in their 30-40s did they served in the armed forces before?
Yea some served and some didn’t, I don’t know if there’s an average age but I know the youngest you can be is 21
I go to temple police academy this July. any advice?
Good luck with it…hope it turns out well, really good teachers out there
Is this in Temple Tx or the bell county area by chance?
Temple tx
this intire vid i was trying to find out if he had a accent or not
lol
This academy looks so chill no yelling and waking up at 6 am??? Bro we are getting smoked every break no cell phones
Thank you for your service warrior
Damn, yea no freedom like this for me. 5am start time, Gotta run everywhere, not allowed to talk for the first 4 months without getting shit on, showing up in pt gear for pt. less than 5 min showers then change, head to breakfast, class, class, lunch, class, dismissal. With a whole lot of fuckery in between.
Damn that’s a lot to take in, I was lucky with that academy, it’s crazier in other places
@@gabelab7252 it’s the little things right. Well stay safe out there and take whatever trainings you can
What’s the name of the song you were playing in the car
I believe I had tomorrow by glorilla and closer by oxlade playing in this video
Why’s this academy look so laid back ?😮
Your awesome physique presents you as a professional police officer in your nice looking uniform😊
If you want to be a cop but you stopped smoking weed like 7 months and been clean ever since will the police department still hire you is that on the polygraph test
Probably not…at least not with the departments have been to…usually you gotta have stopped using for 2-5 years
Which city/state/county/municipality's academy is this?
Temple texas
Dude was struggling to pick up a gun. In a hostile situation and he does that. the criminal will be like bruh really🤣
First off wasn’t a hostile situation, second I had an injury prior, but in a real hostile situation that would not Be good so I am understanding of why you said that
Very nice video, man. Definitely subbing. I’m looking to be sponsored by a department rn so this vid helped lots. I hope your graduation went/goes well👍
Hell yea, go get it and thanks for the sun

Do you have any social media I have questions to help prepare for the academy

Wait . . . You get to WAKE UP at 0600???? I need to be in formation, at attention ready for inspection at 0600, I wake up at 0300, the day goes from 0600-1630, but only from Tuesday-Friday, so it could be worse, but I don’t get to see much of the sun during the week, I envy you sir
Going to work with a SURPA 🔥
Yuh 😮💨😮💨

What academy is this? I would go through for them anytime.
Don’t blame ya, it’s chilled 😂
