I am so glad you made this video. I feel like this is a problem that isn't touched on enough and I desperately needed this
I just moved to a Panama City FL. About a week before hurricane Michael devastated the city. I was just starting to learn the basic landmarks. Then the storm hit, I lost all my land marks, no cell service for GPS, hardly any street signs, no trees, buildings, and most of the roads were blocked by trees, powelines, building parts, etc. It was and still is crazy. So now I'm trying to learn the city. I'm glad I saw your video on knowing your geography, I would have been totally unprepared. I turned in my application for scholarship and hope to get an answer this week. I think your videos will help me a ton along the way.
Thanks for the time your taking to upload these videos.
im getting early FTO training and this is what my sergeant is teaching me, 😎😎👮♂️👮♂️
That’s why I love Campus police, the best. I don’t even need to know the town.
Steven Lane where are you at?
Amazing video!!! Exact training method I used in FTO. On your days off, MAP STUDY. When your off FTO, MAP STUDY!!! GPS does not help because of lag time. GPS should only be used as a back for when your in pursuits.
This video is so rad of you to make for us!! Not knowing the area well enough is my #1 con I'm worried about right now
Graveyard is another world! Just like you said, working days is easy with geography but as soon as it gets dark you rely truly on your memory or little hints you create for yourself.
Thank you so much. I am an FTO and share this video with my rookies. You are the man!
So happy to see you returning to videos like this. These are much better than the ones where you sit in your car.
I try to use the format that is conducive to the topic.
You are correct on this subject. I will say I worked pre and post GPS. I'll take the GPS every time. You did a great job with this, I did a video on the exact material very important.
Just transferred from the town I grew up in and worked for 5 years to a city I know nothing about...been using a GPS and working nights has helped but it’s hard as hell and I feel like a dink not knowing everything like I use to
d ob you'll get it fast enough.
I thought cops have to know their way around the city without Google maps.
@@traviswitherspoon9189 no that's taxi drivers
Keep up the amazing work Tommy!!
Thanks for taking the time to making this video. it was very helpful!
I am so glad I at most need to learn one building. I am so horrible at directions that I tell people north is whatever way I am facing.
Thanks so much for this! Ive lived in San Antonio for 5 years but I still struggle with major highways and roadways. I just applied for their police department, this is gonna help. Thanks!
Jonthan Fowler good luck, I took the written test and physical fitness test for San Antonio many years ago.
Real Police Talk thats awesome, did you work for the department?
Jonthan Fowler I was hired for Louisville PD 1st and am still working there. I applied to several depts at the same time.
Did ya make it?
how was it ?
I love your videos it’s awesome to learn the behind the scenes of policing and training and gear. I use to want to be a policeman but went into nursing. Still public safety kinda.
Nurses are a necessity. Thank you for your service. How goes the career with the pandemic chaos? The hospitals in my jurisdiction are severely short staffed and everybody worked to the bone.
Good video..something I’ve always wondered.. how u guys/gals know exactly where to turn,go ,stop etc
Great video, thank you!
Learning NSEW and getting a sense of direction is something everyone should learn....
Good luck to non locals learning big citys I mean I know guys who still don't know like Wichita Kansas not super huge but not small
Blayne Peterson I did it in two city's before GPS. Its amazing how fast it comes to you.
I’m wanting to become a police officer in Wichita Kansas and I’m so worried about this 😂
Thank you for the Video.
This is a fantastic video! 🙏
Been waiting for this video for so long & it’s finally here😈😈
Great video Sir!
Wow, you should try learning towns over here in the UK.... We don't really have a grid system and the house numbers start again on every small street,!
Thanks for the Video
One thing nice about the county I work in is the way the county roads are numbered.
Ultra-detailed information in a nice tiny sandwich! The only thing that's missing is chocolate iced donuts with sprinkles. Thanks, Tommy!
If only I had the doughnuts with me. But, alas, it was far too hot in the garage for doughnuts and coffee the day we shot this live.
As an emt fto i use this video with my trainees i know its a different job but extremely relevant
Hey just wanted to thank you for great info! I'll be entering law enforcement soon and you've helped with such great insight! Just curious why do you sip coffee at the beginning of all your videos? Is that like your signature? Thanks.
I always envy those that live in flat, gridded areas. My state is so hilly and has rivers and lakes every 20 feet, so our roads are a total mess.
I’m getting ready for FTO
You know what sucks, georgia doesn't have blocks like this. I'm from New Jersey and it was almost exactly how you're explaining. Georgia has sub divisions and dead ends lol no blocks
Thanks!
Great video
Hey its Morgan
Great video keep it up
Thanks Morgan!
D@mn good and important video!
This is the thing that I am most worried about. Compared to Chicago my city is probably medium sized but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the names. I'm trying to practice now and just hope it will be enough.
How do I learn the roads on a big city like Portland Oregon?
Incredibly helpful. Thank you! We need to make some videos together.
It says somthing that out of everything that can possibly screw me over once I get in, THIS, THIS RIGHT HERE, scares me the most…
Did you have a video for Writing Probable Cause Declarations?
We don't use those here. I try to keep things as universal as possible and paperwork is diffrent county to county and agency to agency to say nothing of state to state.
Wow...California can be overkill on certain things..... smh
GPS is pretty damn accurate now..... street view capability, current traffic updates, etc...
My cso fto doesn’t let us really use gps. Everything has to be done using the map ;/
Do you have to deal with streets around a lake? They suck. They all twist and curve, run into each other and are like a lane and a half with vehicles parked on each side and driveways and golf carts everywhere. And the way to get to them all is screwy, too. I just started driving with my FTO. And, first call driving is a residential burglary alarm by the lake...
@MemoryDecipheR Well, I'm playing catch up. Get ahead of the game if you can. I've been staring at maps for DAYS...
Lake neighborhoods are terrible. We have a couple and it's amazing how many times the name of the road changes with each bend haha
Can you do a video on Why non State police agencies/Sheriffs can Go into different jurisdiction for anyreason?
That depends greatly on the state and how it enforces law. In Indiana, for instance, all police are the state police and can arrest for any offense anywhere in the state. In Illinois cops leave town in pursuit of people, to assist other agencies, and for administrative tasks like extraditing prisoners. We even regularly cross state lines between Illinois and Indiana to directly assist other agencies with major cases. If we didn't leave our primary jurisdiction for any reason we wouldn't be very effective at our jobs and people would get hurt. This doesn't exclude the state police either. State police are divided (as are cities) into districts and patrol areas and just like cops in cities those troopers jobs are to patrol their area. They also leave their assigned area to help other areas and districts and leave their district to help other districts and jurisdictions. This extends even to federal LE where dod police commonly work in tandem with state and local authorities with locals helping with major incidents on base and dod cops assisting the locals as well.
How long did it take you to fully memorize your city when you started?
I was supposed to know it by the end of field training... Took me a couple years in reality and that was a huge impediment to my general ability to do my job.
Think of streets as primary, secondary and tertiary streets.
Did this working for fedex
Not a cop but I think Google Earth is potentially useful tool for learning this stuff. It doesn’t compare to going somewhere, but it could be used to easily review areas.
Yeah, it is another map based system to help learn. It can't replace paper and notes though.
In a riot control that gets out of control, when there are too many violent anti-police crowd surrounding a very few number of police. What decitions should we (civilian/pedestrian) take in order to optimally and legally help the police in that scenario?
Drive through the crowd in a tractor trailering a 53 foot covenant or houser trailer. Park just in front of the skirmish line and have a few guys jump out with 223 sporting rifled and start popping rounds into the angry crowd. Load the surrounded group of cops into the back of the trailer and drive through and out of the crowd. Now this is critical. There should be an awaiting CH53 in orbit. Have the driver unhook the emergency and supply glad hands and drop the king pin. He has to do this while still going 54 miles an hour. The speed limit for trucks and trailers in California is 55. You don't want to go over the speed limit now. Before the trailer in hooks from the king pin, the CH53 should already be hooked to the box and ready to fly away. As you guys make your escape, there will be a flight 2 A10 CAS attack birds loaded for bear. They will have Hydra 70s, AGM 65 Mavericks, and 80 series unguided bombs mounted on it's hard points ready to drop all of it's ordinance on the crowd of people. At this point the CH53 will have dropped of the trailer at the CP, cops safe and sound, and you all held as a heros.
Option 2 is remove your self from the crowd so you are one less person we have to deal with. If it actually comes to the point where we need your help physically, just know that the Calvary is on it's way. We may get our ass kicked for a minute or two but are never really in complete danger of being overan.
Dan is the man
I know that my question is not about an usual scenario, but I wonder: If I see many violent anti-police people hurting so bad the police down on the ground, is it legal to shoot those violent anti-police crowd with my CO2 pepper/rubberball gun? (even when they are not physically hurting me) is it legal to assist the police that way?
@@Albert_Sierra Unless they are actively committing a violent felony that may deprive you or someone else of thier life or property or may commit grievous bodily harm or mayham (disfigurement), it would be unreasonable and, in many cases, illegal for you to pepper spray the crowd. You can be charged with battery under California penal code section 242. Now I don't know any DA or deputy DA in the state that would prosecute you but you can still be arrested for it.
Now if it's three or four officers (like a gas team or similar) and there surrounded by angry college students wearing skinny jeans and black hoodies I wouldn't be to worried. A burst of pepperball hear and there and nine bang/sting ball or two should disperse them. If they're angry BLM welfare spawns surrounding them I am pretty sure a skirmish line is not to far from them and help is on the way. We are trained to stay with our platoon. Most guys you see not adhering to that principal are gas teams and arrest team. Of course the platoon is never more than a block away.
Like I said. You will be doing us a huge favor if you and people like you would just leave the area. Don't get mad if a 40mm tear gas canister hits you in the head or your world turns to orange if some deputy fills your mouth and nostrils with Mk46 capsicum. We warned you.
That makes sense. Thank you Dan.
Y'all don't get enough credit
Does this still apply if you don't want to do shit but park under a tree the whole shift ?
I think that's what all of us want to do most days. What we have to do though is a different story. If somone got hurt because their backup got lost... Idk about you but at my place there would be hell to pay and I'm not talking about from admin.
This is one reason I'm becoming a Police officer in my hometown.... Plus I really want to work where I know nearly everybody.... Last but not least, by working here at home, I can stop by family members' houses while on duty etc....!! My hometown has a 10,000 population, and nearly everybody knows eachother....
I’m currently 12 years old and have been training since I was 9, I cannot wait to become an officer and go on routine patrols in my town and also handle important cases
( not that routine patrols are not important, they are)
Take a chill pill man. Enjoy being a kid and focus on school. You'll have plenty of time to train and achieve your goals later.
Hahaha you're funny little kid
The worst scenario is when the rookie has no idea where north south east or west is....lord have mercy.
Bagus
Wasn't this a live steam?
Yep, it is unlisted currently. If you are interested in seeing the whole thing here is the link: th-cam.com/video/TFxJ0GjeKQ4/w-d-xo.html
You say this, but a lot of officers and sheriff's seem to be pretty bad with geography..they need to get out of their cars more. Perhaps bike or walk specific areas.
Or put forward even the slightest amount of effort...
@@freefieldtraining yes! I've had too many conversations like "M: I'll meet you at the old public works building... O: The what? M: The old public works building off of ____ road across from _____. O: ***blank stare *** (insert additional conversation) M: Forget it, I'll send you address"
Oh God
hi
I don't think I could do this, at least not before they dropped me for taking too long to learn all the streets and alleys.
I don't believe it then why can't cops ever find any place
Well if not enough information is given on the location they responding to.
polic coil air i looking seeyou what ha
Ehehehe
Stop sipping air from that cup
Air port police how to get
L
Christ Jesus love you he died for your sins
Haha only seen Americans name their st’s in numbers nice try tho
Well I'm in America talking to Americans about doing police work in America...
yeah I know but you did say around the world fam
So, you don't need to know the geography of your patrol area outside the US?
Besides, lots of places around the world use numbers for streets. It isn't an American thing, it is a planned city thing.
What I was saying, was the way you explained the numbering of streets you made it seem standard across the world. And I was saying I am not sure about that and I thought it may just be an American thing. I didn't say geography isn't needed lol.
