Learning Geography: POLICE TRAINING

I am so glad you made this video. I feel like this is a problem that isn't touched on enough and I desperately needed this

im getting early FTO training and this is what my sergeant is teaching me, 😎😎👮‍♂️👮‍♂️

I just moved to a Panama City FL. About a week before hurricane Michael devastated the city. I was just starting to learn the basic landmarks. Then the storm hit, I lost all my land marks, no cell service for GPS, hardly any street signs, no trees, buildings, and most of the roads were blocked by trees, powelines, building parts, etc. It was and still is crazy. So now I'm trying to learn the city. I'm glad I saw your video on knowing your geography, I would have been totally unprepared. I turned in my application for scholarship and hope to get an answer this week. I think your videos will help me a ton along the way. Thanks for the time your taking to upload these videos.

That’s why I love Campus police, the best. I don’t even need to know the town.

You are correct on this subject. I will say I worked pre and post GPS. I'll take the GPS every time. You did a great job with this, I did a video on the exact material very important.

This video is so rad of you to make for us!! Not knowing the area well enough is my #1 con I'm worried about right now

Amazing video!!! Exact training method I used in FTO. On your days off, MAP STUDY. When your off FTO, MAP STUDY!!! GPS does not help because of lag time. GPS should only be used as a back for when your in pursuits.

So happy to see you returning to videos like this. These are much better than the ones where you sit in your car.

Thanks for taking the time to making this video. it was very helpful!

Thank you so much. I am an FTO and share this video with my rookies. You are the man!

I love your videos it’s awesome to learn the behind the scenes of policing and training and gear. I use to want to be a policeman but went into nursing. Still public safety kinda.

Keep up the amazing work Tommy!!

Graveyard is another world! Just like you said, working days is easy with geography but as soon as it gets dark you rely truly on your memory or little hints you create for yourself.

Been waiting for this video for so long & it’s finally here😈😈

I am so glad I at most need to learn one building. I am so horrible at directions that I tell people north is whatever way I am facing.

Just transferred from the town I grew up in and worked for 5 years to a city I know nothing about...been using a GPS and working nights has helped but it’s hard as hell and I feel like a dink not knowing everything like I use to

Thank you for the Video.

Good video..something I’ve always wondered.. how u guys/gals know exactly where to turn,go ,stop etc

Thanks so much for this! Ive lived in San Antonio for 5 years but I still struggle with major highways and roadways. I just applied for their police department, this is gonna help. Thanks!

Learning NSEW and getting a sense of direction is something everyone should learn....
