Co-backed by Hartselle Police Department and Hartselle Parks & Entertainment Department, both-hour academy gave the children a bird’s eye have a look at what rookie cops undergo inside the police academy furthermore for his or her one-the-job performance, that’s specific to keeping everybody shielded from harm.

Officer Chad Guest, who is school resource officer at Hartselle Junior Secondary School, completed the academy by utilizing Lt. James Holloway.

The junior cadets, different in age from three through 12, repeated police officer’s oath of office and were declared being genuine junior cops by order of Capt. Tom Sparks, mind within the department’s analysis division.

Physical training adopted within the primary gym with each cadet being needed to exhibit potency and effectiveness and stamina by doing push-ups, sit-ups and running. Later, they examined fatal vision goggles to simulate losing body control when consuming drugs or alcohol.

Within the class setting, Guest proven kit and clothing a officer uses within the performance of his job, including guns, stun gun, baton, radio, handcuffs, torch, pepper spray and bullet-proof vest. Combined, it weighs in at in at in at roughly 20 pounds, he pointed out.

Equipment utilized by a swat team made an appearance being proven by utilizing two cadets, Will Grammer and Gunter Wiggins. Each was fitted obtaining a bulletproof shield and vest, assault rifle, helmet and gas mask.

The academy found in conclusion with Guest showing a police patrol vehicle, filled with flashing lights plus a blaring siren.

“The kids were conscious and well-socialized,” Holloway pointed out. “They’ll remember what you saw proven today for nearly any super very long time. It might even lead to many them selecting police as being a career.”

They packed the Fire Training Center’s auditorium , congratulating graduates with cheers and applause as each took a certificate of graduation.

With Director Hugh Lennon doing the introductions, the police academy class graduated 16 police officers, including four for the Rockland Sheriff’s Department and, for the first time, graduates for Amtrak police.

Four people graduated as part of the Rockland Community College pre-employment program. If they get hired as officers, they would only be required to take defensive tactics and firearm training.

Sheriff’s Chief Louis Falco gave the graduates and audience an overview of policing, from crime scenes to patrols and terrorism on the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

“With an ever-changing world, we as first responders become the first line of defense in our villages, towns, counties and states and cannot afford to become complacent,” Falco said.

He told the audience that families sometimes take second place as law enforcement “is one of the most demanding and self-sacrificing professions in our society.”

Falco said there are many traits the graduates can’t be taught.

“This police academy and its staff has taught you a lot, but they can’t teach you integrity, good judgment, honor or how to be compassionate,” Falco said.

“Treat everyone the way you or one of your family members would want to be treated if the situation was reversed,” Falco said. “In our profession, you must give respect if you want to get respect.”

Rockland District Attorney Thomas Zugibe also provided some insight into law enforcement from what he’s observed over more than three decades. He said being a police officer is not for the faint of heart and requires courage.

He noted first responders rush into danger to save lives while people are running for safety.

With competing police academies in the region, Friday marked the first graduation in Rockland this year. The academy usually has two graduating classes. It has been accepting students who take the 24-week course through Rockland Community College. The cost is about $3,000.

“If we showed up late—even by a minute—we had to do extra repetitions of push-ups and sit-ups,” said Allyson White, a 2011 participant in the Westchester Youth Police Academy. “And if you forgot your hat or belt or you didn’t shave, it was the same thing.”

High school seniors from 11 schools in Westchester—including Ardsley and Dobbs Ferry—participated in the senior internship program in which students get a six-week crash course in becoming police officers. This year, Dobbs Fery had a record eight students enroll.

“I get bored very quickly, so I wanted to do something where I’d be entertained,” said White, who has always wanted to be a lawyer. “It ended up being awesome.”

Dobbs Ferry Police’s Justin Kamke is one of the officers who oversees the program. “We started off by giving the students a fitness test. By the end of the six weeks, we saw 40 percent improvement,” he said.

Students started their days running three miles and doing grueling repetitions of strengthening exercises. The were then given 20 minutes to shower and change before inspection. The teenagers were grouped into squads, and any errors in one member’s appearance would result in group punishment for the entire squad.

Next, students attended lectures in which they learned about various aspects of the criminal justice system. And in the afternoons, they went out in the field.

“We sat in on a murder trial one day,” White said. “That was cool.”

Students also spent an afternoon at Sing Sing prison in Ossining.

“The prison was nothing like how it seems on TV,” said Justin Kennedy. “We actually spent time with some prisoners and had lunch with them. Sloppy Joes…the food was terrible.”

“Prisoners have a lot less freedom than I’d thought,” White added. “And it was so hot in there.”

Another day, students went to the actual Westchester Police Academy in Valhalla to use their Fire Arm Training Simulator (FATS). “It’s like a large Nintendo Wii,” Kamke explained. “Students use verbal commands and actions they’ve learned to either increase or decrease the severity of a situation.”

During the last week of their internships, youth police academy students went on ride-alongs with officers.

“We were sitting in the car when they pulled people over,” said Casey Sussman.

Kennedy “saw a car pursued in Pleasantville.”

The students even helped out at Northern Westchester Hospital posing as the victims during a training session.

“I was pushed to my limit by the physical training,” Sussman said. “And I gained a lot of respect for police officers from this experience.”

“I learned that cops always have to watch their backs—be careful about everything they do,” White added.

Kennedy chimed in: “The amount of paperwork they have to do is ridiculous.”

Kamke said this year 75 percent of students in the program indicated they wanted to pursue careers in the criminal justice system. Since the program is only three yeas old, he couldn’t say whether previous years’ graduates had gone on to become police officers.

“It’s a great program because they see the entire spectrum of the criminal justice system,” Kamke said.

All eight students from Dobbs Ferry who enrolled in the program graduated last week in a ceremony at Mercy College.

“It was sad,” White said. “We all became such good friends.”

Overall, the students said they gained much deeper insights into the role police officers play in the community.

“I learned that most cops are actually nice people who are not out to get you,” Sussman said. “Everything they do is about safety.”

Dobbs Ferry’s eight graduates of the 2011 Westchester Youth Police Academy were: Allyson White, Eddie Fanning, Justin Kennedy, Stephen Betz, David Ramos, Nathan Falk, Casey Sussman and Mike Marron.

The class starts Sept. 28 and run 6:30-9 p.m. Wednesdays through Dec. 7. There will be no class Nov. 23 for the Thanksgiving holiday.

During the academy, participants learn about many aspects of police department duties. Besides classroom lecture, the academy includes a patrol ride along, firearms training, mock traffic stops and room searches.

Schaumburg residents or business community members may apply. For an application, visit www.villageofschaumburg.com. For information, call 847-348-7276.

The academy will be July 25 through July 29 at the Alabama Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 4 in Weaver.

Twenty-seven teenagers from high schools across the county have signed up to participate in the program, which offers a glimpse into the kinds of physical, legal and technological training a person must have before becoming a police officer.

“We’ll be taking our 12-week training course that our rookies go through, and we’re shoving it down to a week,” said Officer Donny Smith, the training coordinator for the Police Department and the man in charge of the July youth academy. “This will be geared for students who are interested in some aspect of law enforcement. It helps guide the ones who think they are interested in this type of job.”

It’s not the first time the Police Department has sponsored this type of academy. In 2003, Lt. Wayne Willis, then a school resource officer for Anniston High School, hosted the first program and was pleased with its outcome.

Of the 24 students who participated, 16 went on to take jobs in law enforcement, officials said.

“It was very successful; it was very positive,” Willis said.

But Chief Layton McGrady said officials had to discontinue the program after its first year, because the department was unable to keep a full staff of 92 sworn officers.

That is, until now. This year, the department has been able to keep within one or two positions of being fully staffed, and that has opened up the opportunity to host the second youth academy – something police hope will also act as a recruiting opportunity for the department.

“Now, we’ve got enough manpower to put the class on, and we’re always looking to recruit,” McGrady said.

Smith said the academy schedule he created is based on the hands-on approach that Willis took eight years ago. Students will arrive at the FOP Lodge at 9 a.m. each day for 30 minutes of “PT” or physical training, and then spend each day going over a different aspect of police work. On the first day of class, the teenagers will listen to an EMT discuss how to administer first aid and will become CPR certified, Smith said. Other days will feature instruction on how to make traffic stops on suspicious or speeding vehicles, how to respond to domestic violence calls and what kind of rights criminal suspects are guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution.

The last day will be the most exciting, Smith said.

That’s when students will don Special Response Team gear and participate in a mock drug raid.

“It will be very hands-on,” said Smith, also a member of the department’s SRT team.

In the weeks leading up to the academy, Smith will be going around to area businesses to ask for donations to help fund the week-long class. The academy is free to those students who’ve signed up to participate; donations from area businesses such as Solutia and police organizations like the FOP are covering the $3,000 course cost.

Officials expect the academy to be just as successful as the first one eight years ago; all of the spots for the July course are already filled.

“I’m glad we’re able to get it back,” Willis said.
