Saturday, December 22nd, was the final day where we were taught maneuvers on how to catch, fight, and take down a hostile suspect. We were tested on all of the information we had been given at the end of the day by having to use it in a real hands on scenario.
The scenario entailed the following:
- I and a partner had to arrive on the "scene" in a police cruiser, give out the proper radio and location information, and then proceed to run to the building where the suspects were.
- While warming up for the scenario, we had to punch and kick punching bags and do push ups while continuing to relay information on where we were located at.
- We did a few minutes of jump rope and push ups to keep our blood going while we waited our turn for the final stage of the scenario.
- The last and best part had us fighting a fully padded up Drill Instructor with the intention of taking him down and arresting him. If it seemed like we were winning, more Drill Instructors would be thrown into the fight. Mind you, most of them are former Marines or army, and all of them are currently on duty as a deputy or officer and have much more experience on us.
All in all I learned a lot from today, and it definitely will be a day I remember.
