PA State Trooper Academy training is regimented, demanding, and exhausting. It is a life-changing experience. Cadets learn to meet and exceed seemingly impossible physical and mental challenges during their time at the academy.

As a Deputy, seeing you do this and actually putting in the effort unlike other youtube creators who take things as a joke earned my sub and my respect for you doing this. Thank you
earned my sub
thanks Orions! And thanks for your commitment as a Deputy 🙏
@@AustenAlexander Thank you sir. I appreciate your work and your service stay safe brother.
@@orionswhim1981 Arent there like... 0 requirements to become a deputy?
@@Laocoon283 Yup. All you need is a sweet stache, cowboy boots, a high school diploma and chewing tobacco.
I have a friend in the police. He always stated he hated me, and when I asked why? He stated everyone of the guys from the military always hit the drills, and PT way easier than anyone in the class and academy. Which made both of us laugh. As a vet I thank you for this channel and your approach to the subject at hand.
Id have to agree with that. Also thank you I really appreciate this
Not really. Most athletes put vets to shame. After all, most athletes went to college for sports, the non athletes went military
@@calebclark6739 ?? Athletes can be found anywhere
@@calebclark6739 but military personnel drill and PT every day like there’s no tomorrow, athletes don’t drill or march, they just workout and perfect their sport…
@@matty9699
Evidently not the academy. Look at all the fat cops.
Thanks for the love ya'll! Hope you enjoy the video! Currently editing EP.02 which will be posted next week!
The BEST of the BEST!!! Give Sampson a hug and kiss from me! 💙❤️💙
Always the best, my beautiful love😘💪😘
Great content! Looking forward to episodes 2 and 3.
This is a great series. I can't wait for episode 2 and some other ideas you have for some new series.
Awesome video 💪🏿💪🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
There is a reason why Troopers act the way they do, the training is pretty legit and they keep it OG unlike basic LE academy
And the reason is(Addressed to those who don't know the requirements) because unlike with basic LE, State troopers are required to have a college degree or military experience or past law enforcement experience. Most recruits have the latter. It's easy to keep training top tier when you have guys who know what they're doing already, it's basically a refresher course for them. Basic Le is designed to turn your average civilian into a certified gun handler and peacekeeper. It's a whole different atmosphere. If I were to compare it and it's a rough comparison because they are nothing alike but if I did, I'd say Basic Le is like boot camp and State trooper academy is like going to Infantry AIT. You're getting a more hands on approach, A more refined training if you will. Just how I look at it anyways.
@@IAmMoto25 pretty generic assessment.
@@humbleservant9343 It was the best I could describe it tbh.
@@IAmMoto25 you dont have to have a college degree, LEO experience, or any military experience in all states
at least in MO, you have to at least
have a high school diploma or an equivalent
21 years of age
and MO post certified
@@smr0m670 I'm mainly going off my state which does require a college degree, military experience or past law enforcement experience. I realize not every state is the same.
This is like watching a TV-show! Good work man!
even better
Thanks Andreas!!
Great video sir. Attending the PSP academy was the best experience you want to only do once. Great career.
Hdshshhd
Austen, you have no idea how important of a video this is to me. I ship off in 2 days, and the fact that you're willing to put yourself through this to show the people how it really is goes miles out. Thank you for your content, it's really helped me make my decision to join The Army. Also, hella entertaining. It's been wonderful watching this channel since Unus Annus. Momento Mori
Best of luck
Well have a good time recruit!
How's it going, man!
@@tander101 Lol he ain't replying for months, they take your phone and may or may not give it back until graduation depending on your commander.
how you doing man?
I’ve always wanted to be a Pennsylvania State Trooper. Many don’t know but the PSP was the first in the country. The PSP is rooted in history and tradition. Highly regarded by former President Teddy Rosevelt.
That’s really cool , I did not know that
@Frank Bonazza III so what if someone kicks your door down and starts attacking your family and stealing everything you own , what would you do? Are you able to defend your home loved ones or would you just submit and let them do as they please? Ppl like you who always say this kind Bulls**t never realize the dangers/evil of human beings , look what is happening in downtown Chicago at this moment, without law and order we will 100% have anarchy
@Frank Bonazza III you ever see those crosses along the highway? That’s why they’re “road pirates” - so your family doesn’t have to erect a roadside cross because you didn’t abide by the speed limit. It’s not about generating money, never has been.
@@jamesrichey5334 well if it wasn’t about money they wouldn’t have a job in the first place... 99.9 % of their funding comes from the tickets they give.
@@MV-nt4bq absolutely false. You have zero clue. You could google how police is funded and learn for yourself.
Wow, I had no clue state troopers had to go through such a process like this.
i didn't either!
Pretty much all state troopers do 🤷🏻♂️
Trooper academy is tough go! Legit
Every cop academy is like this. Nothing new
@@MV-nt4bq incorrect.
you always get yourself into amazing stuff and i love how you try new things and how well you handle any situation that's thrown at you. you always rise to the challenge and the outcome never fails to amaze me there is nothing you cant do if you put you mind to it and you're proving that to the world. you're such an amazing man this world is blessed to have you in it .
Spent a week here when I was 14 for the PSP Commissioner's Honor Camp and this just brought back so many memories lol. Mad respect for these cadets and our troopers.
I was a one of the counselors for Honor Camp for years....what year were you there?? I always got so attached to our kids over that week. ❤💙
@@harmonyann4675 omg I hardly ever use TH-cam so I just saw this. I was there in 2013! One of the best weeks of my life for sure. Thanks for volunteering your time to give so many of us such a memorable experience!
@@wilkerson427 awww so awesome, I was there!! I’ll tell the other counselors I found you on here. We love when we run into or hear from our “cadets”! I pray you are doing well! ♥️🤗♥️
"she just walk behind like she is not scared, you never scare getting kick" HAHA doing horse riding for so many years I just freaking love Austen' reaction afraid about being kick by the horse I felt immediatly the moment he walked behind the horse at first he wasn't so confident to walk behind. Don't worry even here in France many people are afraid to walk behind horses
Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it!! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️The true joy of Christ dwells in me!!! Does it in you? I know where I'm going when I die! Do you? I have an ETERNAL victory! Do you? I have more joy than ever because of what Christ has done. I have been down both roads. The road of the wicked and the road of Christ. Christ is way better and my cup runneth over with true joy and salvation. If you do not know the One true God and are not sure of your salvation, I promise He will never fail you. Turn to Him in repentance and faith. Repent means to confess and forsake your sins, never turning back to them. I tried changing on my own but I couldn't. It took the power of Christ on the inside of me to do it for me. He will give you a new and clean heart with new and clean desires and you shall be born again. A new creation in Christ Jesus!! Hallelujah!! Jesus said in order to enter the Kingdom of God, you must be born again! Thank you Lord Jesus!✝️
Well done Austen it definitely gave us a super insight into the in and outs of being a state trooper.. x
Thank you for being who you are, you manage to transmit through a great simplicity and charisma, that in life there is no impossible challenge, we must not let ourselves be defeated, we must fight for our goals.
Kudos to you Austen! Sending you love and healing after the hardwork!
Every time you upload a video, I feel more proud of how good your content is!
I love that you are doing this! My Grandpa was a Captain of the Highway Patrol in California. He was an amazing man! When I was younger he took me to visit the academy. It was a special experience. I appreciate you honoring those who have served as state troopers! 💙
Thank you, Sir for sharing this. Thank you for allowing me to see what my family members went through. I have one retired Pennsylvania State Trooper and one Active Pennsylvania State Trooper in my family. Still have several family members who live in PA. Love that state besides West Virginia.
Thanks for showing a brief glimpse of life on “The Hill.” I can look back and laugh at it now…proud of my first and the finest and all who serve, go fightin' 81st cadet class!
Great video Austen! Looking forward to the upcoming episodes!
My dad is a retired Pennsylvania State Trooper, so this video is so special! It’s so interesting seeing what he had to go through when he went to the academy in the 90s.
I wonder how the academy was like in the 90s I’ve heard both troopers an police say the academy back in the day was much tougher an the instructors were just plain assholes
I am enjoying this. Mad respect for doing this.
I really enjoyed this video brother, I am a Pennsylvania State Trooper and the academy is rough as hell but it's all worth it. Thank you again man!
thanks for watching! If you ever pull me over this means I get a free pass 😁
@@AustenAlexander lol 100% brother
I think Njsp academy is harder. What do you think?
@@greatestnitemare6626 How many times are you gonna mention the NJSP Academy? you obviously never attended there or you wouldn't be so threatened by another academy.
@@greatestnitemare6626 if you’re a fatass it’s obviously going to be hard. If you’re in shape you should have no issues pretty straight forward
Makes her feel any better. I’m 21 with 2 deployments in the army. Plan on doing the PSP when I get out.
Combat Deployment or Naw?
@@codycasner3732doesn’t matter
Long way since Bahrain 2015 Austen. Looking good and the videos only keep getting better. Keep up the good work man.
awesome series, very entertaining, your hard work is appreciated , keep up the good work
Great episode. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Can't imagine the toll it takes doing the course, great vid Austin :)

Video came out great! Looking forward to the next two episodes!
Thanks big Ken 🙏
Well done! Looking forward to episode 2
Great Job Austen one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while
Thanks Nick!! Good seeing you here 🙏
What you said about Academy being just like Bootcamp is spot on, weather its training, PT, tasks and chores around the academy, inspections, etc. It's totally like bootcamp.
This was awesome!! So excited for the next episode
I have been looking forward to watching this! Thank you for this!
Thanks for watching!
As someone working to be a Pennsylvania State trooper, this gave me pretty good insight.
Loved this man! Would like to see more videos like these!
WOW!!! Kudos to you!! Your such a good sport and one badass guy!! Thank you for sharing all your experiences I think its Awesome all you do!!😀💝
Austen.. Such a great episode 1. Epic.. Looking forward to episode 2 and 3. Great job and well done! Kudos to you. The taser was incredible stuff.
thank you!!
@@AustenAlexander you’re welcome….
Lets go bro!!
Faz tempo que eu procuro pelos senhores, quero aprender inglês, e nada melhor que assistindo sobre a vida dos policiais que mas admiro do povo estadunidense , força e honra, um abraço do Brasil.
Top tier production....thank you brother
This brings me memories of army basic training that I just completed over the summer
This is crazy. Cannot believe they let you go through this but this is SO COOL!
Fantastic like always Austen. You’re insanely creative with your content ! 🤙🏼
It's like a movie!! Thanks for sharing ❤️
@Austen Alexander thank you for everything that you do and I am joining the Marines in four more years and if I ever do retire as a Marine... I was thinking about becoming a New York State Trooper
This is the kind of stuff that we want to see in your channel,
I'm 😊 glad you finally realised it,
Try to make it more indepth if you can.
Really enjoyed the video. Great work, Austen!
Glad you enjoyed it!
as a wanna be cadet i am seriously inspired and sure even more that This is what I was born for.thank you
Please make it fast brother for the second episode 😁 can't wait any longer
This is gonna be good
🙏
My husband is a PSP. I love watching these!
Those horses amaze me! So majestic.
Sampson is so big!
I love Austins content sm, and im the laziest person ever, only physical content i watch, cause Austins charm, engagement, dedication and tbh the vicurious experience gives me seratonin 🤘
My brother is a state trooper thank you so much for doing this video so now I know what they go through
Wish the episode was longer. But great work I'm in the application process right now for pa troopers
Waiting for the second vid to go up !!
Thank you for your service!!!
Thank you all for your service
For anyone wondering, I was in the USMC before I went to the police academy. The police academy was harder than boot camp. Firearms training was about the same, we did PT more often in the academy and still had field day inspections and all that stuff. What made it harder was all the academic tests you had to pass. You had about two hours of law a day mixed with scenarios. First guy to leave our class was a combat medic from the 101st. Second guy was a SP the Air Force. Having said that, an Army guy got our top shot award and our class leader was a Marine. The guys that really excelled in our class were guys who came from corrections. My roommate in the academy was a former corrections officer and he was awesome. Those guys do well on scenarios and have a good understanding of report writing and use of force.
Hey brother, I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’m 20 getting ready to head into academy when I’m 21, no military experience I just always wanted to be a trooper. Been through hell week and stuff with sports through highschool but I understand there is a big difference. Could you give me just some PT things I need to drill? Wanna train above requirements but from what I understand there’s no certain way to be prepared. Any input would be appreciated been awhile tho lol.
@@chaserobert474pushups, pushups, and more pushups. Instructors love making a set of 10-20 pushups take 5-10 minutes. They will make you go down and hold that position while they yell at the class, sometimes for minutes at a time, and then they will make you go right back to doing the pushups with no break or rest. If you fail to hold it, and you will, alot, you have to immediately get right back into push up position. Don’t let them catch you laying there or they will add on more pushups. When they tell you to get back up, get up immediately!!! Or they will tell you to get right back down and make you do it all over again. Burpees are a favorite form of punishment as well. Its okay to slow down or even fail, so long as you immediately get back to doing the exercise, whatever it is. They want to see effort and progress above all.
Waiting for part 2 can't wait
This is what I might be doing in the next few years, cool to see a little insight into it.
I love the training...I miss the military training and this should be the standard across all police departments.
So much respect to you and all Leo's. TY4YS 💙 🇺🇲...
I love PA troopers. Absolutely love them.
Nice bro, i'm excited to wait episode 2
This video helped me a lot a far as getting the view point of what the academy consists of. I wanna be a state trooper even though I’m national guard I’ll be able to do both
So glad you’re doing this being from PA I’ve always wanted to join PSP just gotta finish up with the Navy then I’ll chase down my goal to join them.
Gone goes the mustache 🥺
Three days there, how was it compared to boot camp??
WOW 😬 the physical conditioning, even for someone like you who is fit, athletic, military and in great shape.
Awesome job, thanks for sharing these real life experiences with us. What a challenge.....
Awesome content!!! Really well done
Thank you! I really appreciate that
Thank you for your services
You should do one with the West Virginia State Police Academy. It’s brutal as well.
I watched your obstacle course video and then saw you were in my hometown doing this! Wild but keep doing what you do man!
This is amazing!
Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍
My dad used to work on a farm cleaning horse stables, hooves, etc. He told me a story once of a guy who got kicked by a horse put his hands up in front of his face and his forearms got kicked off
It was very interesting. I'm looking forward to it next time😊
@@austenalex731
Are you for real?
these vids always have good production quality
Big dawg 🔥 great content 🏆
Funny to see Corporal Martin is still there. Went through the academy on 2005.
bro this was very well put together
Nice video, I truly respect you now!
This guy is hardcore too the bone, he is inspireing....this is the truth
Thank you 🙏
"Reminded me of Navy Bootcamp"....LOL. Having been in the Marine Corps and been through the CHP academy I'm gonna go out on a limb and say what you experienced at the state police academy was significantly harder than Navy. The Navy is not known for having a difficult boot camp. As a matter of fact, my son just graduated and said it was easy. State police academies are no joke.
Um, I've been through Navy bootcamp- this is easier by a fair margin.
New Jersey state police is much harder than Pennsylvania’s state police academy
No one cares dude. Army Boot Camp was rough to some and easier to others. No one cares marines get yelled at more. There’s a reason there is such a low retention rate anyways.
My neighbor went through this in 2017 and he was in the Marine Corps before he went to the Pennsylvania State Police academy. The Academy he said was harder than Marine Boot Camp. I went to his graduation which is really cool and toured the barracks.
Also a few years ago the academy was doing tear gas training and some of it entered nearby Hersheypark which caused some guests over there to be impacted by the gas. A section of the park was evacuated.
NJSPs academy is much harder
Mississippi Highway Patrol is the hardest
Lol, no. MCRD at PI pre 911 makes this a walk in the park for me.
@@lnfinitry LOL why not try to watch videos of Philippine National Police's training and Im sure youll be on the edge of your seat or feel like quitting just by watching it...your police training in the US is just like going to the fitness gym

My favorite Shipmate💪🏾💪🏾
Great video!
I love Ally! So sweet and friendly I bet she is doing amazing as a state trooper
I'm impressed at how well he took the taser.
I can only imagine the anticipation you felt waiting to get tased I felt it for you! I’m an police officer in Texas and have been tased twice wouldn’t do it again lol. You earned a follow with this series man this was a great one
Been tased by the X26 and I can tell you right now, it is not a fun ride. It's a blur in my memory but I can still feel the entire experience and it just sucked. Don't blame you for dreading it. "The longest 5 seconds ever." And awesome on you dude, keep doing what you're doing! 👍
Watching Austen get yelled at is weird
Watching Austen get tasered is not weird
Hmmm...
I'm a freshman and I've already decided that I'm gonna join the Marines straight outta highschool and to be honest I cant wait
awesome man! Keep the PT in check!
Good choice! 😉
Join the easiest one not the tough one cause after leaving army you need to survive in civil job market.
Just saying and with a president like Biden I don't think it's even worth it.
But yeah the benefits of those jobs are good
@@patilabhinav7941 there are plenty of Marine Corps jobs that translate well to the civilian job market - we’re not all grunts 😅
I'm a 0311 rn, I joined right after high school, and I'm tryna be a state trooper afterwords
This training is on par with Army OSUT for infantry. I love it!
I was thinking this looks pretty similar to OSUT haha
I still remember meeting you at Seal Beach NEX! I told you I was Undes Seaman. I just made OS3! Thanks for being an awesome inspiration pal! Hooyah!
Nice congrats!! Best of luck with everything! Take care
I graduated LASD class 191 in 79. It was tough but worth it.
Fire Academy next!!!!!🚒🔥
Looks easier then my Fort Benning basic training. Riding the horse looks fun
This is the closest American police training I’ve seen to Canada’s RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) training including cleaning horse stalls. Can’t be mounted without horses!
Beast bro good job
When you said it reminded you of Navy boot camp, I served in the US Air Force and reminds me of Air Force boot camp as well with some of the training.
I was a correctional officer for 2 years, and at the academy we get trased for the exact same reason the troopers do. But watching you prepare for made me just as nervous as when i got tased.
