Cadets Episode 4 - Driven

At the CAL FIRE Academy, they attached a anti-roll device (looks like a crab) to a 26,000 pound fire engine and students practice high speed maneuvers similar to what CHP does with their patrol vehicles. It's a sight to see a vehicle that large do a full 360 and the students regain control and continue on.

When I went through the police academy, I also had zero experience with a firearm. I intently listened to my instructors in how to shoot the weapon and was getting great scores. My fellow cadets were asking me to help them shoot to get a good score. At the end of the police academy, there was a first place trophy for the best marksman. It was between me and another cadet as we shot from different positions, standing, kneeling, behind cover on your belly. We were neck and neck. I lost to the other cadet on the belly position. I learned my competition was a Marine veteran.

Love this show. But the videos need to be longer.. we need full 1 hour shows.

Honestly, this EVOC course is what is scaring me the most out of the academy. I had buddies pass away due to hydroplaning and car accidents so I hope I’ll be able to pass EVOC

I always will remember in my life not following up on my CHP career. I passed the written exam on or about 1997, I failed the exam my first time. I studied and practiced, on the second try I was the third one to finish written exam, I knew I had passed. I really wanted to become a member of California's finest. I was doing good financially selling radio advertising and and running my security company in San Diego. I was little scared leaving my wife and two baby girls at home and getting out of that comfort zone. If you are planning applying with CHP go for it. Don't hesitate and ask for help, that way to get everything lined up, when you are invited to to the CTC. Do it, don't be like me. My cousin retired from CHP, and has always says "you bonehead" you should joined, you would made a great STO. Our first two daughters are married and have good jobs, I've been persuading our third daughter to apply, but she is considering veterinary school - wish me luck. God Bless the CHP family and stay safe!

My son is in his 13th week at the academy. I knew the toughest part for him would be EVOC so I made sure to help him by finding him an EVOC class to attend prior to him starting the academy. So i enrolled him twice in that class lol. The class really helped him haha. Everything else from DUI reports to PMA he did while in the CHP explorers. GO CHP! 👍

Great episode! EVOC looks so challenging, skid pan looks kind of fun though😂. Can't wait for the next episode 💙

EVOC driving seems overwhelming with the high speed they're driving and then with the sliding, skidding would make me dizzy too... I'm sooo enjoying watching these videos though 🎉🎉👍👍

I LOVED my EVOC training at the Academy. It was the first time I had driven a vehicle with an automatic transmission so that was interesting. Late in my career I was a manager in HQ and we decided to have an in-service EVOC day. That was one of the best training days I ever had on the job.

I am always so Excted to watch these episodes!

This is a great video. Hopefully it prepares me for my furture

Always looking forward to Wednesdays!

Love this series, maybe you guys can record some ride along videos I think we would all love to see that.

Best one yet!

Cant wait to see the new tahoes on the skid pan

11:41 Gone but never forgotten

I love ❤

Question, how long does each of these lessons take? Like to learn and pratice? I never caught that part. Love the videos you guys make, every episode is great!

I wanted to do chp so dang bad! My record is clean but I’ve done some things that I’m ashamed of in the past and unfortunately it won’t let me pass the poly exam 😔

No shuffle steering?
