I graduated High School, joined the Marines and I just completed 34 years as a Deputy Sheriff in Florida. I got up every day and and could not wait to go to work. This career has blessed me ten fold. I pray someone enjoys it as much as I did. I am loving retirement very much at 56 years old. God Bless you and Semper Fi!
Good for you! I was thinking about being some sort of police officer, but I just don't think they pay well enough. Now I think I'm going to go to a lineman college and become a journeyman lineman someday.
I usually never comment on RUclips videos, but this series struck a chord with me. I'm currently working full time to support my family, doing PT almost everyday, and working on a criminal justice degree so I can take the exam for a NYS Troopers. Watching this series was super insightful in what I can expect if and when I go to the academy, thanks for this! Officially subscribed
@@thefrase7884 thanks man! I just scheduled my exam date for mid January. That'll be my next step. Assuming I get a good enough score and get called I'll go from there. Any tips you could give me for the exam would be tremendous. DM me if you like.... Thanks for responding!! 👍👍
Just rolling over 15 years with the Indiana State Police. It's a great way of life and I still love what I do. It's easy sometimes to let current climate, stress and bureaucracy to get you down. Shows like this remind you how much you wanted it and how hard you worked for it. It's easy to forget that stuff. Definitely gives a motivational shot in the arm. Thanks
I am actually in college now studying in government, law, and national security to hopefully come out and go through this same academy. Fantastic way to help someone that really wants to pursue this job see more in depth what academy life is like. Great series.
@@MV-nt4bq I did!! One of the options instead of military is college. Regardless of what you’d like to do in the PA state police they do require 60 college credits.
I really enjoy your series and would love to see more like this. Thank you to the men and women of the Pennsylvania State Troopers for giving us insights to all the training they must do to protect their citizens, Great job Austin!
As an LEO, I thank you for bringing back memories from my time at the academy. Although I'm on the north side of the border, we live that experience similarly and as you said, we develop bonds that are incredible with our colleagues and instructors. Amazing series, keep it up sir. We got our backs.
My boyfriend is in this academy now and you just gave me so much more peace while I transition into a time without any contact with him at the moment. Thank you for putting them in a positive light because they sacrifice so much for us. I pray for every one of the cadets there and for my own, and hope that graduation comes soon in May! Thanks again!
Praying for your boyfriend! 🙏 Same here. I just apply for the next cadet academy and hopefully I can get the opportunity with this outstanding academy.
I loved this series. We are a military and law enforcement family and I really appreciated what you said when you addressed the class: in these days we really need to see some positive reflection of our law enforcement. Those men and women are being treated brutally by some of the public. It's time for them to start feeling supported and appreciated. I also really liked that your are always honest about yourself; you say what is easy for you and you own up to what is difficult for you. It's refreshing to see that in your videos.
I went through that same academy in 1992. When I watched your videos it brought back those incredible memories. That academy and the Pennsylvania State Police are the First and Finest State Police agency in the world since 1905. Thank you for showcasing this to the internet viewers around the world.
Hell yeah I appreciate you taking the time of portraying law enforcement/ military/ first responders as how they should be viewed! Brave, selfless heroes! Love the approach and damn straight we want to see more content like this ❤️ God bless you Austin!! GOD BLESS OUR Troops ! Our MEN AND WOMEN SERVING THIS COUNTRY via local, state, federal 🙏 and God bless U.S.A 😍
As a South African that used to work at American summer camps in my 20's I had many encounters with state troopers in PA and NH. I was the older staff member with a bunch of younger camp counselors on days off so the trooper encounters were usually because the crew got a little out of hand, as you do when you work with kids 24/7 for 2 months. I was always impressed with the professionalism of the troopers in the way they handled us. On pretty much every occasion they factored my role with the team into the way they dealt with us, and that helped greatly to generate the respect of the crew. You guys might get criticised a lot but I think the idea of public service as a police officer is much stronger in the USA than many countries. Thanks Austen for doing this series.
This series was awesome! Truly shows just a tiny bit of what a Pennsylvania Trooper goes through. Just imagine 26 weeks of it! Props to you for doing what you did!
People think law enforcement officers or state troopers need more schooling. No one understands they are coming from educated backgrounds or military service. Showing a basic run-down of what takes place across half a year for these men and women is enough to open peoples' eyes to see the message you're trying to portray, well done!
Not to mention how much it's drilled into you that you aren't an individual. You graduate the academy with a foundation and immediately start training again in the field. Then you're a rookie and typically expected to ask senior officers for guidance because new situations happen every day. Sterile environment of the classroom can only get you so far... that said, I think there should be a lot more defensive tactics training in how to control suspects without relying on tools, and that takes more than an hour every other day for 6 months (if you're lucky to even get that much).
Agreed-but keep in mind that the PA State Trooper Academy is *extremely* selective. You won’t get in without a 4-year college degree, and relevant experience is a big plus. The Academy is also longer than most police academies. As a result, the graduates of the Academy have a much better foundation for a law enforcement career, and even then they still have a year or more of training before moving beyond basic PA Trooper duties. So overall, PA Troopers have roughly 5-6 years of college-level studying behind them. That isn’t typically the case for large municipal and city police departments.
@@cmconley33 Absolutely, that's the basic generalization I was trying to hit on which you expanded. Becoming a state trooper varies from state to state and is typically INCREDIBLY selective. The more the gen. pop. can learn about how things takes place only stands to benefit law enforcement.
This is great. I'm a young adult planning to have a career in law enforcement, and this is helping me prepare for the stress I'll have to face during training. Thank you
I respect you, you’ve done a lot and I know it has changed you mentally. I know because I have been in the military and basic training tears you down and rebuilds you to what they need you to be. Good job man!
Great series! Austen thank you for trying to put a good light on the Police. We need more videos like this. Just a recommendation you should make a video flying in a F-35 and tell your experience. I love Navy and Naval Aviation and I think it will be a good video idea. This is your channel so do what you want, but think about it. Keep up the good work.
I wouldn’t hold your breath, an F35 is around $70 million I doubt they just hand them over to RUclipsrs in the hopes they can show them in a “positive light”
@@crazyzoidberg1 it was just a recommendation that would be cool to do. I am also talking about him being a backseater and talking about his experience
Is cool to see how he’s nervous when doing the defensive driving. It was like that for me in the Academy too. Scary at first, fun once you get the hang of it.
There was a time our state Pennsylvania State Police were the number one state police force on the globe!! I have known many of them,they are amazing men and women and do an amazing job ! Thank you!
I served in the Army Reserves and have Thirty Years on the job as a Police Officer, Retired once as Deputy Chief but had to get back at it....Worked in New Jersey, Washington DC, Virginia.....If you take it serious it become who you are not just what you do! Nothing like doing this job! Although I never worked as a Trooper I attend several Police academies and most where pretty hardcore! Thanks for bring back the memories!
If only all of our police training programs throughout the US were so intense and comprehensive. This is what real law enforcement training looks like. This is how you create a professional and competently effective police force that is properly equipped to protect and serve the public trust. Austen, this was an absolutely fabulous piece and quite frankly a much needed one in this current day and age. Honestly more people need to see this and other similar content in order to generate further transparency and outreach between the public and law enforcement. Furthermore such pieces may offer a more personal and humanizing glimpse into the lives of those who train and serve in the field of law enforcement, which once again is more necessary now more than ever... Great work my man 👍👌.
Great series! 👍🏻 It was really cool getting insight to what the Pennsylvania State Police Academy is like. You can read about it, but seeing it definitely gives better perspective on what you have to go through. Excellent content 👏🏻👏🏻. And thank you for publicizing the great people in Law Enforcement. We need more of this with all the anti-police sentiment that has been created by media and politicians in recent years. The vast majority of people in law enforcement and the military are some of the best, most honorable people you will meet. Just really good people. Thank you for your service too, brother. God bless.
Austin, great job, and I like that you acknowledged the anti-cop, anti-military vibe being echoed by the media. (The majority of Americans don't support this). I DON'T CARE IF YOU WISH TO CHALLENGE THIS. CONTINUE TO LIVE IN YOU FAIRYTALE WORLD and I will live in reality. Hopefully, soon, we'll see public, public opinion change.
As someone that works with police and have done so for years, I only wish that officers in the United States were more extensively trained, more weapons training, more hand to hand combat training, and more de escalation training. With the average amount of training to become a police officer being 16 weeks in the United States, it’s not enough training. My good friend is going through the academy now, he was telling me how much weapons training they received, it’s shocking how low the amount of hours they put in. I had more than 50 hours of weapons training before I even owned any firearm of my own, and have continued training extensively since. It’s not fair to train future officers inadequately and then send them off into the most armed country on earth. In Norway for example it’s a 3 year training program to become and officer. Years of training are spent on training how to de escalate situations rather than days/ weeks of training. Why can’t our officers have that length of training? Officers in Norway don’t have to go through every traffic stop knowing that the person they are pulling over could be armed to the teeth. With that as the reality, why not train as much or more than Norway does? Personally I think police officers in the United States have one of the hardest jobs, and with inadequate training it makes the job significantly harder. Harder on the officers and harder on the communities that they are patrolling. But that’s just my opinion.
I know exactly how you feel when riding a horse. The series is absolutly great and shows a huge dedication to the work as a State Trooper. Please, more of this 🙂
I don't understand why they act like Marine Corps drill instructors. The yelling, the turn around games etc. I do understand the point of having people understand and be able to function under stress, but having a 7 month academy and training you future officers/ troopers to yell at people (because that's what happens when they are trained in that manner) doesn't suit well when speaking with the public! Their go to while under stress will be to yell at the suspect or individual, rather than speak calmly which aids in de-escalation. There's times where you MUST yell or shout to show your presence and "authority" but 98% of the time, you'll make more headway speaking politely and with empathy. The job is very dynamic and ever changing, I understand that. And the respect I have for our officers and the service they provide to our communities is appreciated so very much by me. I just feel that the screaming and yelling done on new recruits will only sent them back when they begin working on the road dealing with the community
Hats off to everyone in this series! Your face in the first one at the chow hall I felt viscerally. If I found myself back in BMT I'd feel the same way! And 26 weeks!? 8+8 weeks was plenty!
Great job gave me flash backs from when I went through the police academy 23years made me feel like I was back at day one keep up the great job showing the public what we go through to have an amazing job
Truly amazing series, really gives a outlook on not only the work and dedication these men and women put in to serve the citizens of the community or state they are in. But to ensure that they do it effectively with dedication and passion. Love the videos brother. Back the blue
These are by far my favorite videos to watch. I think that you would make a great state trooper if you ever wanted to be one. Awesome video. Keep up the good work!!
That’s really good. I really appreciate you coming through and see how much work and effort goes into learning how to become a Law Enforcement Officer. #BackLawEnforcement
That speech was top notch. Way to go! Yes, please do more if these. Also don't fell bad about the horse, there are so many different ways to train a horse yoy can easily get yourself in trouble. Lol. For instance my Grandpa was a cowboy that lived in Arkansas and CA, mostly in CA. He taught my mom, and she taught us (he sadly passed before we were born) that you hang on with your legs steer with the reins and speed up by tapping your heels. In old westerns if you know how to look that is how they ride. Now here in Indiana you speed up by pressing your legs and to steer you do a weird press with one leg put the reins in one side if the neck. So weird I can even remember. Well needless to say the first time I rode a horse trained that way it took of like lightning lol.
Proud of ya doing all these things to challenge yourself, Austen. I also think it's hilarious that you found out personally if the dog food tasted like the wild. I'm glad it didn't lie. If you didn't see my comment a year or so ago, I'm now a PFC, rapidly approaching Specialist in the Army. I got Combat Lifesaver Certified, and I'll eventually be aiming for Warrant Officer but one step at a time. I've got a Bachelors Degree and two primary certifications to get.
Just found you from Facebook. Thank you for your service and thank you for these videos. I have family in law enforcement and in military and it’s been a crazy time for them. I’m always praying for their safety.
I will say I remember the EVOC course. Being told to speed and push cars off the road was hard like you said. You practice your whole life to not hit other cars, PIT breaks that mindset.
Everything you do is amazing God has truly blessed you. Thank you for always inspiring us everyday. You are so talented in what you do I’m excited to see more videos. Keep doing what you do best and never give up. Is there anything you can’t do beside the horse back riding needing some work but nothing a little practice won’t fix. You got this so never give up keep inspiring us
As a lifelong native of the Hershey area, having driven past that exact police academy on the hill countless times, I am so honored that you chose to pursue this experience in my little old home state of Pennsylvania 😁😁
Thanks for this series , and more for sure , it shows your growth and improvement in situation you’re not or familiar with. Also continue to challenge yourself to push your limitation 👊
Thank you sir for serving our country and thank you for putting your life on the line for 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 America's thank you again if it wasn't for you we wouldn't be here today
Hey Austen thanks for the series deff now try doing the same but with a fire department, I am new to the channel and I subscribed made me think back of the police academy by watching these series. Thank you 🙏
This is by far the best thing I have seen on Facebook! We need to get you to do more of this as it does reveal to others and allows these cadets to look back in their patrol years why they joined and what they were going in about!
The military isn't going to let you be a "RUclips Star" and train. It's the government training troops. If you're going to be there? Then you have a contract to fulfill. State vs federal. State looking for new troopers vs the military "government" recruiting 18-year-olds on graduation day. Lol
Whoaaaaa nice seeing real men with out tats!💙👀 Horseback is without saddle! Good pit! 👍🏼 I really hope youth see your videos as they are an inspiration for future careers on a positive side of life! Well done sir! I know first hand many were not easy by any means but you displayed many difficulties perfectly a most can be over come with time!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Joining the military or the police academy isn't my thing, but I respect those troopers and soldiers more than anyone else in this great country of ours. Without you guys I wouldn't have many of the luxuries I take advantage of today. Thank you.
These videos could of for sure been longer! Great series you need to do more of these in the future! Maybe do something related to NYPD as well as their academy is 6 months as well.
I graduated High School, joined the Marines and I just completed 34 years as a Deputy Sheriff in Florida. I got up every day and and could not wait to go to work. This career has blessed me ten fold.

My nephew went thru this academy a year ago. I told him that it gave me some insight on information us citizens aren’t privy to. Great job.
Did he graduate it from PA Academy?
This series was great overall (10/10), I just felt that for 3 days, each episode was too short, rather than 8-10 mins, maybe 20 mins each?
Same
Yeah longer videos get a better algorithm these days. He goes to the dog kennel, then the video is already over.

These are by far my favorite videos to watch. I think that you would make a great state trooper if you ever wanted to be one. Awesome video. Keep up the good work!!
That’s really good. I really appreciate you coming through and see how much work and effort goes into learning how to become a Law Enforcement Officer. #BackLawEnforcement
Nicely done. Good luck to those future troopers. Stay Safe & God bless.
My opinion it doesn't matter what job you have in life, do it with pride. Good video.
Thank you 🙏
That speech was top notch. Way to go!
Yes, please do more if these.
Also don't fell bad about the horse, there are so many different ways to train a horse yoy can easily get yourself in trouble. Lol.
For instance my Grandpa was a cowboy that lived in Arkansas and CA, mostly in CA. He taught my mom, and she taught us (he sadly passed before we were born) that you hang on with your legs steer with the reins and speed up by tapping your heels. In old westerns if you know how to look that is how they ride.
Now here in Indiana you speed up by pressing your legs and to steer you do a weird press with one leg put the reins in one side if the neck. So weird I can even remember. Well needless to say the first time I rode a horse trained that way it took of like lightning lol.
Great series. Great work, easy subscription can’t wait to see more from you. Raised in Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania up until about a year ago
Proud of ya doing all these things to challenge yourself, Austen. I also think it's hilarious that you found out personally if the dog food tasted like the wild. I'm glad it didn't lie. If you didn't see my comment a year or so ago, I'm now a PFC, rapidly approaching Specialist in the Army. I got Combat Lifesaver Certified, and I'll eventually be aiming for Warrant Officer but one step at a time. I've got a Bachelors Degree and two primary certifications to get.
Just found you from Facebook. Thank you for your service and thank you for these videos. I have family in law enforcement and in military and it’s been a crazy time for them. I’m always praying for their safety.
austen, if do something like this to become a Navy SEAL, Navy SEAL sniper or to join SEAL Team 6 that would be kickass man!
Good idea!!
Great series! I am planning on joining the army and then becoming a trooper so this was perfect. Thank you!
Go reserves and do both
@@hectorruiz5119 I want to join the national guard which will allow me to do both as you said.
Fantastic Alexander, and thank you for your service.
I will say I remember the EVOC course. Being told to speed and push cars off the road was hard like you said. You practice your whole life to not hit other cars, PIT breaks that mindset.
Everything you do is amazing God has truly blessed you. Thank you for always inspiring us everyday. You are so talented in what you do I’m excited to see more videos. Keep doing what you do best and never give up. Is there anything you can’t do beside the horse back riding needing some work but nothing a little practice won’t fix. You got this so never give up keep inspiring us
This is a great video. Thankyou for the inside look. Keep it up, keep improving.
You’re right it is your duty to portray them accurately. Accurate happens to be positive 98% of the time. Thank you sir!
As a lifelong native of the Hershey area, having driven past that exact police academy on the hill countless times, I am so honored that you chose to pursue this experience in my little old home state of Pennsylvania 😁😁
Thanks for this series , and more for sure , it shows your growth and improvement in situation you’re not or familiar with. Also continue to challenge yourself to push your limitation 👊
About time for this upload. Keep up the good work man! 👍
I would love more series like this
Awesome! Would like to see more just like this in the future!
Thank you 🙏 will work on it!
I am in the UK so this was fun to see what US training is like.
I'm glad the PA State Troopers let you do this. Really awesome on their part. Also this is done better than and T.V. channel can do frfr.
As someone that lives in central pa I must say I really appreciate our troopers.
Definitely my favorite RUclipsr
Thank you 🙏🙏
Thank you sir for serving our country and thank you for putting your life on the line for 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 America's thank you again if it wasn't for you we wouldn't be here today
You are awesome! Thank you for everything you do. Thank you for your service. Can you do fdny possibly next? God bless America!
Hey Austen thanks for the series deff now try doing the same but with a fire department, I am new to the channel and I subscribed made me think back of the police academy by watching these series. Thank you 🙏
Great video shipmate! Love the content…
Bravo Zulu,
HMCS Fleet Corpman (RET).
Whoever does all the editing on this is doing fantastic
This is by far the best thing I have seen on Facebook! We need to get you to do more of this as it does reveal to others and allows these cadets to look back in their patrol years why they joined and what they were going in about!
Awesome series! Why don't you do it for all branches in the military? Merely a suggestion
Law enforcement is NOT THE MILITARY. They are pretending to be.
Space Force
The military isn't going to let you be a "RUclips Star" and train. It's the government training troops. If you're going to be there? Then you have a contract to fulfill. State vs federal.
State looking for new troopers vs the military "government" recruiting 18-year-olds on graduation day. Lol
@@maces1405 then you haven’t seen or heard of Michelle Khare who had did this with the USMC, the FBI and many others
I mean he’s already gone through Navy boot camp. There’s videos on all the other branches on RUclips
Whoaaaaa nice seeing real men with out tats!💙👀
Horseback is without saddle!
Good pit! 👍🏼
I really hope youth see your videos as they are an inspiration for future careers on a positive side of life! Well done sir! I know first hand many were not easy by any means but you displayed many difficulties perfectly a most can be over come with time!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Awesome vid!!! Thanks for sharing, Alexander
Joining the military or the police academy isn't my thing, but I respect those troopers and soldiers more than anyone else in this great country of ours. Without you guys I wouldn't have many of the luxuries I take advantage of today. Thank you.
Great job! Taking content to the next level.
Very great job! I definitely want to keep watching and learning from this channel.
Love ur vids I go back and wach the old ones every day
Thank you for your service Sir
Love it! Try NJSP toughest academy in the US
This was great. Can't wait for the next series.
Love this series, very awesome Austen
Great series. I wish it was longer. Thank you
Austin, this is my first time watching your videos. I'm from PA I think this is an awesome training the academy let you challenge.
I love this series! Keep it up with more of these 👌
I enjoyed the series. I like your workout videos but these videos were fun.
My dad has been in this academy for quite some time now until he got promoted to the headquarters so these three videos were super fun for me
You are getting there I've enjoyed watching this
What a amazing ending. Shows great character. !!!

These videos could of for sure been longer! Great series you need to do more of these in the future! Maybe do something related to NYPD as well as their academy is 6 months as well.
Just found these videos. I applaud you. It can be harder then expected. Awesome job, well watch others.
