majority probably didn't want to be there we're actually i reserve hands and they were honest ok and we get there if o'clock in the morning on a monday evening or summer when they're close to going back to school their stuff so for the last three weeks what they demonstrated us and what they gave us us up here it was easy it was completely they had they had the hard part so  d here here's what i want to say every day they came and they gave us everything they had so if they came home and took a nap and you got your own shame on you again because we to wear this uniform of the firefighters uniform or whatever it may be and we did that for a reason because like capt said to me you know this wasn't about just teaching them what we have an offer here you have to hear about how police department this is about what a values in life are and what we want you to take from here and be guided all the way through the rest of your academic career person in this world so and i think we have a very good job that i really do i think you know we saw some huge what can i tell what can i say and i have i had a piece of paper and i got papers all over the place but i just want to go over this week ok i want to go over this week in general and a lot of you probably look at the schedules but more importantly i'm going to go over what our the next thing we're going to do we are going to bring up our four class leaders ok so these class leaders were not voted on by us they were voted on by their peers gave them all a piece of paper we said wri down your four top names and these were the four top vote getters obviously like they knew i would always tell them that if i didn't think of radical you know rule there was no ordering of any of the four people they were the highest vote getter so they did a phenomenal job from the start to the bottom and i continue to think that they're going to go on to do huge things just like everyone back there that we expect so we're going to bring these four up  we'll have a and then all of the officers who came in took time out of their workday just to come in to just about what they do so at the end of the first week we'd already learned about the special forces team the crisis negotiation team polygraph us all the set team weapons and gadgets we got to go down the garage and see all those of the cars and stuff all of the officers who helped us they taught us about community policing and what they do it's detective sergeant and then so weak him again before we knew it we already had learned so much and i didn't think we could learn much more but i was really wrong we had a mock trial with judge can all we went out probation we learned about the am are in the firefighters at the parks fire station and then the next day we trained at the waverly fire station and we played water hockey and an obstacle course and then at the civic center we did a mock crash some of you probably came and watched and then on tuesday we helped at national night out and there's duct tape tank piling time test ice cream pizza and then just all of these cool agencies that came out and wanted to connect with all of us and  and all you guys do we were at four stations so we were at the fire fires i guess the police booth we did we picked up trash around the park and then we also just had free time to go to the booths and yesterday we went down to the lock up that's down stairs and then we went to bam and we've all been played laser tag and then we played games and stuff and i had just wanted to say i've made so many new friends and i can't think everybody enough especially our officers and to that who helped us and parents and grandparents who brought us here and let us talk even though it could get boring i can't wait i can't class i learned the access can happen anywhere and any of these to help serve the community better i have to be a strong team player and i have to be disciplined with my actions in order to successfully help someone in a car accident i must be able to communicate in a calm that and clear manna under pressure along with making split decision when there is a life on the line after i have gone through is a program that teaches kids all about the amazing work of the police officers firefighters and paramedics so it is when a group of firefighters or police officers come together and a selected few applications sent by the students as i said before there  glance report which was incredibly incredible so as amazing as those experiences were that's not what i'm talking about and look around and see all these characteristics of where you and i mean walking into a place like this full of strange faces that you've never met before it's definitely staring and it's not easy you know as soon as a day got started i felt right at home and i scary as it is i actually enjoyed his lectures probably more than i should have you know they really got to me me me feel like a different person and i don't even repeat some of those words in my head at home just so i remind myself not  all heard about that and we'd recognize one person who showed a lot of group skills that are needed to have a car etc this was a a car accident where we have fire issues we have rescue issues had medical issues we had gas leaks there's a lot of things going on that are common at a vehicle accident with with small vehicles and it takes a lot of focus and it takes a lot of villainy to have attention to and i would like matthew to come forward  arranged mine was going to go to saying no or saying no no class i just met him this week as well but he was always willing to help out he's always asking what we can what we can do to help is always very respectful he's you can do to help out so have kids though the same age so multiple days throughout the academy i don't know how this happened but my daughter recently right here in the front row actually showed interest in coming to then academy  she connected with a number of kids in here and in the class just took her took a big life and two were due to busy schedule she was able to be here every day but the days that she was here a lot meant a lot of the class but during this part  this is a social media post that wasn't necessarily directed to her but she was tagged of some sort of cell says this police academy thing is wear me out but it's not tear me down for anything the officers are making me a better person and it's amazing to be able to build relationships with amazing people like her i look forward to going to this every day monday through thursday i'm sad it's slowly coming to an end and i'm going to miss everyone but the important thing is them going to take something from this and learn and be a better person from this academy they teach you things from first aid to deadly drugs to let you hold sniper guns and having us march in a line and say mama mama can't you see and then it says what this blah blah has done to me with a couple of modi's i've missed in there but it says i enjoyed this i'm so sad it's almost over but i will enjoy the next couple of times i have a couple more emotions so my award is going to go to a person i met a body year and a half ago when i came back into the community policing division one of my tasks was the get back in jefferson elementary and the first go around and when i was out of community policing we weren't as involved in the schools as we were this is years ago but now it's a huge emphasis on all of us that's a major part of our jobs and it's important because of what you see back there i think this is a very influential a church and i think that positive mentors in that in their life and that's what we're in their schools to be not disciplinary and for there to be positive mentors i think to make a huge difference my first contact and the multiple contacts with this student at jefferson were great ok i'm sure she's going to be the first one to say that also but i wasn't going to give up ok and i'm going to stay on her for the next few years through through high school and make sure that she succeeds in life because she's a good person i've seen some great things and i know that it's so the next two or are going to be actually three awards are going to be our physical fitness awards so we have a male and female physical fitness awards and this year we did a number of things we started you know see in  but and then we also did this was spur of the moment and we were at the fire department one of the days and it just turned into a water battle that they were spraying and doing all kinds of stuff and last year we had kids stand with their arms like this and we weren't spraying them with water ok but we have to stand here with their arms straight up and they couldn't move in the once their arms drop we found i think our longest was almost eight minutes last year before we finally got two winners year's winners last over twenty two minutes ok so it was extremely impressive and if they were sore the next few days if there's pretty good reason to be sore so our first we had a cold we had to stop that our females wouldn't quit or to the we had two females that would not stop so the first one riley gagne come on up right so next part of the of the graduation these guys think that they were going to fail and some thought they were going to graduate that person i was all we do all but they obviously graduate and they did a great job so what we're going to your certificate we got some pictures and we have a cd that will have a lot of pictures on there and then the video that we're going to show once we're done handing out the presentation that i think is a huge memento for these guys to remember
