 Hey everyone, it's Vinnie here, your Community Outreach Specialist, and today I'm bringing you Corporal Rosina who you may know from a prior video and this entire new member orientation class. There we go! And we are going to be following along with them for the next eight weeks to show you guys what they do from start to finish until the FTO process and all that it takes. I don't know, it's like a TV show where we're following but we're not going to follow too heavily but we hope that everyone makes it all the way through because I have support for all of you, I have faith in all of you. So yeah, you're going to be following us along for eight weeks for a law enforcement and four weeks for four of our detention members back there. Who are over there somewhere. There they are. Yes. You guys excited? Oh yeah. Yes, there we go. Stay tuned to see what we can get into. Being a member of the State of Florida and of the United States of America and being a member of the Pasco Sheriff's Office and a recipient of public funds as such member do solemnly swear that I will support, protect and defend the Constitution and government of the United States of America and of the State of Florida that I am duly qualified to hold office under the Constitution of the State and that I will faithfully perform the duties of Deputy Sheriff of Pasco County on which I am about to enter. So help me God. So help me God. Thank you gentlemen, congratulations. Hey everyone. Okay, so I am with Deputy Trainee Hixon who's on his first day of the new member orientation and we're just going to talk to Deputy Trainee DT Hixon. DT Hixon, how do you feel? How are you feeling? I feel excited right now. Yeah, are you nervous? Just a little bit more like an excited nervousness, but Butterflies, like anxious. I'm very anxious though. I'm very anxious to start. Okay, so I mean, but you have, your story is a little bit, I like your story. So tell our followers, first of all, say hi because I forgot to do that. Hello everyone, my name is Jeremy Hixon. I was actually with the Pasco Sheriff's Office Explorer Program. I love it. So it's a pretty much a program that allows teenagers between 14 and 21 to get exposure to law enforcement. We met once a week and deputies came out to teach us how to do traffic stops, report writing, handcuffing and everything like that. So how long were you in the Explorer Program? Five years. Oh, okay. So with that, I was able to do a lot of ride-alongs and see if this is the career that I wanted to pursue and I loved it. Here we are today. I love that. Okay, so the Explorer Program is absolutely incredible. We also do have a Junior Explorers Program now, which is also for middle schoolers too. So that's really, so did you start? High school, ninth grade. Okay, okay. That's really cool. Okay, so what are you thinking that new member orientation is going to be like, what are your thoughts going into it? I think it's going to be like a mini academy. I mean, we, before getting this job, you have to go through a certified police academy, which lasts six months, and you pretty much get taught the fundamentals of law enforcement, case law, Florida Statues, things like that. So I think it's going to be kind of like that. Except more agency-driven, like agency directives. What we are looking for in our men and women. Okay. We're men this time around because there are actually no women in this class. That's okay. Next round, females come out, support. But that's okay. So kudos. So I mean, you guys, like I said, we will be following along with this class from start to finish. And we'll see DT Hickson very soon. Sounds good. Okay, everyone. So I am with Deputy Trini Martinez. Say hello to our followers. Hello. Boom. So he is going to talk to us a little bit about how he's feeling today, the first day of new member orientation, and actually how he came over and got to PSO. So tell our followers, what's your story? I'm actually very excited and happy to be here. I love it. I learned about the Sheriff's Office. Here in Pasco, through a friend that I used to know in the military. Okay. He told me all about it. He told me there's a better agency. That we're incredible, basically. Yes. To come over with us. Mm-hmm. All that. So I figured I'd give it another chance after, since I was already, I completed that academy with Hillsborough Sheriff's Office. Mm-hmm. And I'm, and I left on good terms. So I'm pretty much, I don't know what to say. And I left on good terms. I pretty much resigned after they gave me the option. Mm-hmm. I actually went through phase three of FTO. Oh, okay. And I was at the, right before I was about to let, to go on the street on my own to do the job. They had a few concerns and they asked me if I wanted to resign a kid. And I said yes. Mm-hmm. But other than that, I was part of SOP 45, Special Office Training 45. That was really cool. H-C-S-O. And that's, that's like a boot camp that you do prior to going to the academy. Yes. We don't have that here, but every agency is different. Before the academy, they have a two week training that you stay with them except for Saturday, Friday and Saturday night. Oh, it's overnight, okay. So you stay overnight and they wake you up early in the morning and you go to work and do everything all the way through the evening. Okay. The whole two weeks kind of like Marine Corps boot camp. I was like, it literally sounds like as if you're enlisting and it's like a boot camp like that. It's pretty close to the military boot camp. But that's only two weeks and it's very fun. You get to work out and you get to shoot, you get, you know, a little bit of training, team building, kind of like we're doing here in the first week. But H-C-S-O is no PSO. No, not at all. Just saying. Okay. So with all of that, you decided that you would come with PSO because your friend had talked about us. Yes. I had a buddy that told me it's going to be completely different. Like, I felt like he sold me on that, that how everybody works together and they take care of each other a lot more. We're a family. Than anything else. Okay. And that's what I was looking forward to working with is family culture where everybody takes care of each other and, you know, just want to be able to work in a happy environment. Exactly. Not, you know, dislike what you're coming to do. And the support in those around you plays a large part into that. But kudos to you. Thank you for coming and joining us. Thank you for talking to us. And we'll be seeing more of Deputy trainee Martinez over the next eight weeks. Yeah. All right. Okay, everyone. So that kind of wraps up the first day. It's just a lot of paperwork that they're doing. But I hope you guys like this kind of series that I'm trying to do within the YouTube channel. I'm trying to model it off of a TV show that we saw with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. We're basically their follow from start to finish. So that's what we're going to do with these guys. And hopefully you enjoy it all and you learn a lot more and you're exposed to a lot more of what they go through. So stay tuned and we'll see what we can get into in the next eight weeks.
