 Today is Monday, August 3rd, first day of Academy. Here would be a Denver police officer. Today is day one for Recruit Class 15-2. You're coming from whatever profession you were just at. Project manager. Banker. Appetition. Teacher. Field aircraft for our living. Retail. In the United States Army. There's always a standard I want to help people. I want to help people. Get a criminal justice degree. I got my degree in criminal justice. But the biggest part of it is really just being part of the community and preventing crime and making a difference. I'm Sergeant Kevin Brey. I'm going to be your class supervisor. Double time it out to the hangar. Let's go out this door. Day one is a very interesting day. Double time, double time. It is there. Welcome to the Denver Police Academy. Right there, right there, right there. We have to get the tone set for the entire Academy. Come on, move it down. The purpose of this morning is really stress inoculation. What's your name? The things that we're asking them to do, they're actually minor expectations. Line up according to height. Smallest to tallest. Line up alphabetically. Think about the alphabet. They don't know each other's names for the most part. So making them talk to each other and figure out who goes where. It teaches them to communicate with each other under stressful conditions. We're at a place in policing today where we treat everyone with dignity and respect, or we should be. Rayya, sir. Sid Berry, sir. Van Pelt, sir. Very good. It doesn't matter what your stress level is coming into the situation. Skills team three. You are still going to be expected to have a certain level of professionalism. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. We need to get the recruits in the mindset that this isn't just another job. Very good. This is practice for every day for the rest of their career. Working together as a class is going to be instrumental in your success. I guarantee you that. The class that we just received today has 35 recruits. Right now, you're all strangers. At the end of this six months, you're going to have a bond that will stay with you the rest of your career. You will be held accountable for your actions as you should hold your classmates accountable for theirs. Our expectation here is real simple. We have 26 weeks to work with you, and we're going to take every single moment. Dismissed. Dismissed. Fall out double time.
