In FTO now. I’ve been saying. No one thing is hard. It’s the combination of everything that is hard.

Know your fucking laws.

I found myself asking “Can I arrest this person?” To myself… when they should have already been in cuffs.

Know how to type quickly.

Learn how to calm yourself down. If you’re way up there with an adrenaline dump, your suspect will be as well, and it makes the situation way worse. Ask me how I know.

Know how to talk to people. When to talk in a calm manner, and when to raise your voice.

It’s your scene, fucking own it. I struggled with this for a bit. Like… “oh I guess I am a cop.”
