This episode covers a recap of week 3 of the police academy. Our practical segment is more on subject control/defense tactics and the fitness segment discusses explosive strength training.

There is no guest on this week's episode (we have plenty of exams coming up on week 4 so I did not want to interfere with studying and family time). Next week we will have Jason back on as we discuss relating what I am learning at the academy to what he does daily on the road in Houghton, Michigan.
