Academy Grad come Monday
It's been a long road but come Monday I'll be officially OTJ here in NJ with a great department, just wanted to share my excitement and also ask everyone's opinions on do's and don'ts for my first roll call...

Congratulations. Do bring doughnuts for the veterans. Don't act like you know everything there is to know about L.E. because you just got out of the academy. Don't offer your opinions on anything unless asked. Do stay safe and have fun.
SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

Congrats! Pay close attention to your FTO. Watch, listen, and learn. Ask questions.

Kind of cliched, but just take one day at a time. You will screw up, just learn from it and don't do it again.

keep your eyes and ears open. Watch and learn from your FTOs and the other veterans there
'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'

Congratulations! Now be quiet and listen. We have 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason. Listen twice before speaking once. I'm still learning that lesson.

DO: shut the hell up; do as you're told; study in your off time; try your best
DON'T: be lazy or complacent now that you're out (lots of rooks think "Well, I'm a cop now!" Not necessarily...still a recruit here until you graduate from FTO); have a closed mind

Congratulations!!!!
As a Training Officer... the best advice I can give you is: Ask questions, study your law, know who and what you can stop and why, keep your eyes open, and listen to your trainer..
Good Luck and Be Safe...
As mentioned before Have Fun!!!INCUSTODY1015

That's it everyone! Doing a once over of the uniform and have a dry run practice session at 2pm (EST)...Graduation kicks off at 7pm (EST)...and I'm pretty psyched to say the least.
Thanks to all you guys who chimed in with advice the next time I login to the forum it will be as an Officer..lol
