Kev and I have been SO busy! The Academy is at full speed ahead and home life has been crazy. A lot of last week was report writing and more high-speed testing for other cadets. Kev said they practiced more Spanish and report writing on accident investigations. There are two report formats they are working on - regular report writing, such as a fender bender and accident investigation when there is an injury or death. Kev says they are groomed on pretty terrible types of accidents and things they might see. Some of the heavier sights being decapitations. Kev usually doesn't share this type of Academy training with me. Typically the heavier things comes up in conversation as I ask him questions. It is definitely hard to talk about, I can't imagine what it is like to see.
High-speed testing continued through Friday and will continue through week 28 for some cadets. On Friday, another 3 cadets were sent home for failing high-speed driving. This included Kev's company commander. Kev said he was a great guy, squared away and would have made a great cop - unfortunately, he just couldn't pass this portion of the testing. Kev expects him to come back when the Junior class reaches week 19.
Sunday was another sad day for law enforcement. Three officers were fatally shot and three wounded in Baton Rouge. Once again our prayers go out to those officers and their loved ones. It is a sad and scary time for law enforcement.
