The BPD has recently attended several training sessions. I attended an OC instructor course in June.
In August, Officer Wheetley and I attended the Missouri Highway Patrol Academy and took an instructors course in radar and laser.
We stayed in their dorms. We learned that even the visiting officers have to follow some of the rules that apply to the cadets. We even had to make our beds!
Officer Wheetley is shown on the right making his bed. I had already made my bed, as you can see. As you can tell, I did a pretty good job. I just know when my wife sees this I will be making our bed every morning. Oh well!
They did feed us though and it was quite a show to watch the recruits routine in the dining hall. I got tired of hearing, "Sir, Good morning, sir!"
