Start of Week 3

Monday morning kicked off with the hardest workout we have had yet! We started out with some warm up exercises and eventually made it into doing a sprint relay race...which I must say, our team won! I’m sure that it was because of my other teammates though...way to go Josh, Eric, and Matt. Deputy Joselyn, Deputy Ackerman, and Deputy Taplin were there to lead our group through our workout. They also talked about why staying in shape is so important. Not only for just our primary health reasons, but also staying fit could one day save our own life or help save another. I guess that means no more brownies for me, sad days...

Before making it to lunch on Monday, our class lecture was about biohazard awareness. That made lunch extra tasty...yummm. After lunch, we came back to class for our last part lecture on the Judicial Process. Learning that there are different courts for different offenses is new to me.

Today, we covered Articles 1 and 2 within the Criminal Code. WOW! I know that all the information that we are learning is equipping us to do our job to the best of our abilities...but that is a TON of information! We were educated with Sentencing, to Protective Orders, to Defendants Rights, to Entrapment, to Solicitation and everything in between...in reference to only Criminal Code that is. (that was only the first 2 articles) Our instructor did a great job keeping the class active and attentive with discussions and hypothetical situations that we could come up against in our careers.

Our class was given some time to study and review the material that we have learned about until now. I didn’t know where to start! Myself and a few other people gathered around and started quizzing each other which helped out a lot...but now its time for me to get studying!
