Newswatch 16's Chelsea Strub checked out a day in the life of a Pennsylvania State Police Cadet.
HERSHEY, Pa. — The typical morning for a cadet in the Pennsylvania State Police Academy begins at 5 a.m. with a morning run.
Cadets will be here for six to seven months. Duties outside of the classroom or tactical training include everything from kitchen duty vehicle maintenance, mopping floors, anything needed around the academy grounds, and keeping their dorm rooms in perfect shape."You learn not to cut corners, especially when we're doing investigations. Maybe we had a long day and just want to go home.
"Crisis intervention training. We do mental behavior and health training. We do triage; they will also learn traffic law," explained Captain Pratt. Cadets announce themselves for lunch and spend no time socializing at the lunch table; it's for fuel. Cadets have about seven minutes to eat before moving on to the next part of the day.
