I have been attending the Ball State Police Department's Citizen Police Academy for three weeks now. Every week has been some thing new and exciting. The first week was just an introduction and history to policing and since it was on Super Bowl Sunday we rushed through the material so we could all go home and watch the Patriots lose. Last week we discussed the hiring process for the campus police department, and then discussed the details about the Indiana Police Academy, which was cool. To end the night the K-9 officer and his dog came in to do a demonstration and talk about K-9 policing at Ball State. The dog was surprisingly nice and friendly which one does not normally see when they see a K-9 unit.

Then last night we discussed traffic enforcement and patrol among officers. It was interesting to learn more about how the everyday cop works and how he or she goes about working. Then for our activity for this class was demonstrating field sobriety test using fatal vision, drunk goggles. Since it is Ball State, the police here to deal with a lot of this behavior and it was quite humorous to see some of the other classmates attempt a test.
