For myself I notice that if I'm more consistent with any type of PT my body will actually start craving healthier foods. Our bodies adapt to so much. Thank you Officer 401 for the continuous motivation. I'm trying to become a police officer on the west coast. Also, good luck to anybody on their way to the academy!

Already a week into the series and I'm already loving it

[nxtkoston]

I love being a cop, looking back, I loved my time in the academy. Now, 4 years in I still love it…but I will say this, I don’t know that I can recommend it anymore. I’m in the northeast where bail “reform” is a thing and people hate us. This summer has been worse than ever since laws were signed restricting us even more and letting criminals do what they want. We have an AG and Gov who hate us. Anyone reading this considering entering law enforcement, make sure you’re made of the right stuff. Make sure you know what you’re getting into.

I'm not even interested in going to the Academy but I still watch your videos. You always have great stories.

Skipped over a huge part of PT in the academy, a person's overall health. You have to know yourself and what you can handle. For myself I have a spine injury with extenuating issues. Disabled without paperwork I pushed through several years of hitting the gym hard. I went from 116 lbs soaking wet to 170. I went from being barely able to lift my eyelids to being able to deadlift 300. Than everything came to screeching stop. I noticed weakness in my left side started walking with a limp. My right knee popped at the physical and I failed my mile and a half. 4 years later surgery. Didn't help I'm 5ft7, was 5ft8 at the time. Early thirties wasn't too much of a hindrance. Ultimately my new goal is possibly corrections before I'm 40 but ultimately I forsee myself in private security until retirement

As someone who plans to joiner Georgia state patrol in the near future this is super helpful!!!

Hey what's up 401 good seeing another video. I'm currently in the process of joining Western Australia Police, the passed episodes have helped me a lot with the certain assesments and physical requirements. Keep up the good!

[shadowslayer]

Just passed the PELLETB. Getting prepped for the next steps now. Thanks for all your info 401!!

[travnjillsmom]

Thank you so much for the training info. you're putting out there. My daughter is getting ready to start the academy, and this will give her a heads-up on what to expect.

[rsvpilot]

Been a while. Glad to see your video again. But why da hell you gonna be the police these days? Glad to see people still have the desire but holy hell, they have a long tough road ahead of them. Good luck to anyone getting into police work these days.

[MurdamanTy]

Been a while, I see you’ve grown out the beard. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.

Somebody is about to get a little more popular. You got mentioned on Last Week Tonight.

[RDBB]

Thanks @Officer401

You are my favorite police YouTuber!! I’m trying to join next year!

[joshjorgensen]

Wish you had these videos when I was in academy!

You should do a video on scenario training. What to expect from role-players and how to get the most out of them (ie. This is where you want to learn from the mistakes you make and not on the street).

Maybe defensive tactics is a subject you want to talk about. I started patrol in the early 70s. Defensive tactics were a nightstick, a blackjack, or a 5 D cell flashlight. Back then the only thing that was off limits was hitting someone on the head. Knees, collar bones, etc were all fair game. Obviously, things have changed hugely. It seems like no one uses an impact weapon anymore.

Not going to lie my federal academy was a lot different. Almost all my training was in the afternoon (right after lunch most of the time), the advice on food definitely helped.

[Forpublicspeakingclass]

You made it onto the Last Week Tonight show with John Oliver!!!! ‼️‼️

[Brooke]

Nothing like some arugula and tomato on a good sandwich. Team no iceberg lettuce 🤣🤣 thanks for the good advice! Love the new series

[cartermouton]

definitely my favorite youtuber of all time. takes my mind off my aggravating grocery store job and let's me relax in peace since my goal is to become a police officer myself. just so entertaining to watch him and I take mental notes every video I watch from him as well. great videos, can't wait for episode 3!

[gnnascarfan]

By the way John Oliver used one of your videos in a segment on "Crime Reporting"
