Week seven- Black and White



Many probably think that being in Law Enforcement involves a lot of drawing your weapon and arresting people and all the other cop stuff you watch on tv but we learned this week that 90% of what we will be doing in this job is...report writing.  I am an English minor and never had a problem writing so I enjoyed this week.  It sure beats doing math 90% of the time.  

We can take notes all we want but the second we were given practical senerios it changed everything.  Talking to people is not black and white and there are no two conversations that will be identical.  That is why we all got into this profession, because every day is different.  Every day is full of something new.  Every day we get to interact with people, we get to talk to people, and we get to take bad people of the streets. 
We are at the end of week 7 and we are getting a lot better at multi tasking and finding a way to live off of fewer hours of sleep but I will say it again...there is NOTHING more any of us would rather be doing.
Our team/unit/family gets stronger every single day and this is the brother/sisterhood I signed up for.  I live for this.  We all make our mistakes here and there but we are in this together and we all pick each other up.  There is not a greater feeling than knowing you have 40 other people who have your back.
Week 7 down...week 8 here we come!
