These officers now begin their probationary break-in period. They will spend the next eight weeks with a field training officer learning to apply their academy training to real-world policing on the streets of Kansas City. After their first six months, a review board will decide whether they can come off probation to become full-fledged officers.
I look forward to seeing what these new officers can do. One of them could one day have my job.
