I am reascearching police for my independent project. Police are the men and woman that keep our society safe. Police officers are required to train inside a police academy. this is about 22 weeks of training in everything a police officer needs to know in order to start serving. this is where they will learn about techniques to keep them safe when they are on duty. they are taught to defend against themselfs against criminals and how to use firearms.
the police academy also involves alot of classroom type work too. they are required to take 2 written tests and a agility drill and a swimming test. they are to complete a number of requirements to show that they have comprehended the skills to begin serving as a police officer. as shown in the pictures, they are taught to disarm, to co-op with k-9s and to defend in hand to hand combat. after they complete this part of becoming a police officer, they fill out a application in a police department to begin serving in that area.

plate tetonics
Plate tetonics is the theory that the plates of earth are moving. It is cool because it has alot of evidence supporting it. There is the mid-atlantic ridge, that is where the atlantic ocean is getting larger by spreading apart. There are alot of earthquakes around the ring of fire, this is the area around the pacific plate, it is shown here:
this is called the ring of fire because this is where subduction occurs, this is when two plates collide and one plate goes under anouther plate and it melts in the mantle. then the mamga tries to escape and it escapes through a crack and this is a volcano and there is subduction is occuring all around the pacific plate.
There are many plates in the world. and at one time, millions of years ago, there was a supercontinent called Pangea. this was where all of the plates were connected and it looked like this: pangea was a huge landmass that existed millions of years ago. we have evidence of this because of the landmasses, like mountains and on right side of most moving plates. there is a mid-atlantic ridge that is spreading the atlantic and shrinking the pacific plate and this is from plates moving which is plate tetonics.

-I belive that i can understand the projects better in order to be better next quarter.
-i don't like how we talk about the same thing over and over again, but i do like how the teacher teaches, he gets all of us involved.
