Introduction
I remember my first week in Central Florida’s Police Academy like it was yesterday, even though it feels like a lifetime ago. It was the summer of 2007 and I was in my early 20s, 160ish pounds and over 6 feet tall. The physical training for police academies are structured like the U.S. Military Academy’s boot camp, but to a lesser degree. I had people tell me what to expect, but nothing prepared me for that first week.
