I have been wanting to get this drafted post out of my inbox for some time.
Aaron Moulton recommended to me that I apply for the Citizen's Police Academy here in Maple Valley last year! I was so excited for the opportunity. Just 14 days later, my background check proved clean and I received my acceptance letter. PHEW! I felt like a college student again!
The syllabus was full of amazing speakers and activities; Sgt. Kathleen Larson who knew EVERY detail about the Green River case she worked on for years, Patrol functions, theft investigations, Burglary Investigations, Child Find/Sketch Artist, K-9 unit, Sex Offender unit, Major Crimes, EOCC/911 Center in Renton, Bomb unit, Defensive Tactics, & Firearms Training. I met some great people and leaders of our community and learned a ton!
We had some young guys in our class who agreed to be the taser testers. It was so odd to watch the process. There was no way in heck I would put myself through such anxiety. ICK!
I loved loved loved shooting the AR-15.
I sat in the big chopper.
I got a little graduation certificate when I finished the course.
I totally recommend the free 10 week course. It comes around 1x per year!
