"Can you cut it at the police academy?

Fall in! You are about to take on the real life responsibility of a uniformed peace officer. Listen up! You'll need to sharpen your eye as well as your aim. The Sergeant may be harsh, but deep down he's your best friend. Pay attention on the target range because once you hit the streets, it seems a lot more real.

Who's lurking in the shadows? In that doorway! On the fire escape! Split second decisions in real-life situations put you in the heart of the action. Are you ready for the unknown that awaits in that dark and dangerous alley?

Filmed on location at a major metropolitan police academy."
