I have to tell you how proud we are of our son who just graduated from Hancock Police Academy. This class broke alot of records. Out of 37 students, all 37 graduated. They were all in the 93 percentile. They all had jobs waiting for them except one who was picked up after the ceremony. Our son Trev was the only one hired for Pismo Beach police dept. His new Capt and Comm. came over afterwards and introduced themselves to us and said how proud they were of Trev. Here is a picture of Trev with his uncle Doug, who is a Det. in Modesto and worked on the Lacy Peterson case.

Congrats to your son. When I graduated from the academy I already had a job also. Sure made things alot easier. Luckily I had already been working for about 6 months and didn't have to go through the dreaded FTO's. I eventually became a field trainer and needless to say you stay nerve wrecked was not the words.

Just tell your son that "hands kill". Always be able to see the hands. He has his personal space and not to let anyone and I mean anyone come inside of his personal space. I could go on forever, but I am sure he already has heard it all.
 
Congrats Becca to you for having a fine son and to your fine son for his accomplishments.

My son put himself through a police academy in Austin, TX a few years back and worked for a short time, but eventually decided he could make much more at his previous career, the computer industry.. today he's a manager at a subsidiary company for IBM, but I think he still keeps his license current. His best friend and his best friend's wife both work for the Austin Police Department.

It's tough out there, tell you boy to keep safe.
 
Congrats to your son. Your son chose an adventure for a profession. After more than a few years in the law enforcement profession, I have not one regret. I have two pieces of wisdom to pass along to your son. 1. Never forget who you are and what you represent! 2. You will make mistakes, you will screw up... whatever you do, tell the truth. I only know of a couple cops fired for their actual mistakes... lying about anything, even the stupidist of things is the surest way to end one's career.
 
That is so cool! It just warms my heart, and makes me proud, that decent young people still want to be in Law Enforcement! It kind of confirms for you that the whole world isn't just screwed up. There are good people out there doing the right thing. Congratulations to him for doing what he does, and to you for raising him that way!

Scott.
 
Becca, you raised a fine young man. As a retired LAPD officer tell him to be safe. Also, tell him to move around in his department to gain experience in all phases of law enforcement. I enjoyed patrol so much that I stayed there over ten years before I realized that to promote it is best to get a wide range of experience.
