For class 355 all hell is about to break loose on day one of the intense 18 week training process.
Deputy Miley and the other drill instructors are back to train Class 368. The LASD Staff has many new surprises planned for the first day of training, known as "Black Monday." Separations: * Frausto: Unprepared (resigned)
Recruit Paez struggles as the first class sergeant, and Deputy Miley gives her an ultimatum. Recruit Villareal finds himself in hot water when the drill instructors learn he went out to a club rather than studying. Separations: * Moreno: Unprepared (resigned) * V. Banda: Physically unfit (resigned) * R. Banda: Family issues, Sister resigned (resigned) * Sheldon: Too much stress (resigned) * Paez: Inability to give commands as class sergeant (resigned)
Recruit Villareal is on the hot seat as the new class sergeant. Then he leaves his locker unlocked with his newly issued gun inside.
Class 368's first trip to the shooting range is a disaster when Recruit Valladares can't figure out how to shoot his weapon. Recruit Marquez, a recent cancer survivor, becomes violently ill and is sent to the hospital. Separations: * Valladares: Inability to handle a firearm, causing a safety hazard (separated)
The staff confidently appoints Recruit Leos to the role of class sergeant, but the class doesn’t follow her lead. Separations: Beidler: Academics-Failed remedial test (separated) * Nunez: Academics - Failed remedial test (separated)
Recruit Santos is in a bind when she is appointed to the role as class sergeant, but can't lead the class. The recruits have a big argument while the drill instructors figure out how to get them to work better as a team.
A few careless recruits are in hot water after their weapons are stolen from their vehicle. Recruit Santos fights for her job as she struggles with all aspects of the training. Separations: * Santos: Not fit for the job, excessive negative peer reviews from recruits (separated by Sgt. Wilkins). * Basurto : Academics - Failed remedial test on Weapons violations (Separated)
Class 368 has its final shooting test and endures a house filled with tear gas. Emotions are high at the “The Colors Run” ceremony, which is dedicated to the family of a fallen officer. Separations: * Wray: No call, No show more then once. * Crum: Academics - Failed remedial test on First Aid and CPR (Separated)
Recruit Villareal continues to disappoint the drill instructors and Class 368. Recruit Turner and others face separation as they retake the final test...just days before graduation.
Class 368 graduates from The Academy, and for the first time, the new deputies take to the streets the next day(Class 368 ends with 97 graduates out of 115).
