The journey of a Police Officer

The first step of the police formation.

You are now accepted in Police Technology at your college you applied to. Before you start your classes, your counselor gives you two options. You can do your training in 3 years or in 4 years. You have been deciding to do it for 3 years. In fact, you will be stuck with a big charge of homework and with a lot of classes but the good news is that you will finish earlier. Don't undermine this important step!

Choice 1 : Do it in 3 years

Choice 2 : Do it in 4 years

You decide to do it in 3 years.

You realize that you won't have many good grades if you complete your training in 3 years. You immediately talk to your counselor, so she can make sure that you will finish your training in 4 years. You realize that you will have more time to keep your mental health in line and you will be able to do other things than homework.

Choice 1 : You decide to do it in 4 years.

You decide to do it in 4 years.

Finally, you are assisting in your first classes and your trainee amazed yourself. You already met most of your classmates and you are starting to build a big friendship with one another. You now have to choose one partner that will be your teammate during most of your projects. Emilie is a brilliant girl who loves to have fun when it's time to, and she is really serious when it's time to learn the ropes from the job of a police officer. Simon is also another person that you will love to work with during your trainee in college, but sometimes, he's a bit lame, and he's missing a lot of motivation through the end of the semester.

Choice 1 : You will work with Emilie

Choice 2 : You will work with Simon

You will work with Emilie.

You and Emilie are a great duo! In your simulation, Emilie is really calm when he is talking to the actors. You like to be his teammate because when physical intervention is required, you know how to handle the situation and control physically the ones who don't want to cooperate. On the other side, when everything is doing great and the actors want to collaborate, you let Emilie take the lead because she is way better than you when it's time to communicate. The teachers of your classes announced to you that everybody will have to change their partner for the rest of your training. You will now have to work with Simon and you are disappointed.

Choice 1 : You will work with Simon

You will work with Simon.

Simon is clearly having a lack of motivation. You want to have straight A's to improve your chance of entering the National Police School of Quebec so you do whatever you can force Alex to give is 100% in all the projects that you have to do together. You make him realize that he's having an incredible opportunity and giving up is not an option. Your speech clearly had a great impact on him and since then, he is so good that he's volunteering to help others who are facing difficulties in the program. Your training is now over and you officially graduate from Police Technology. Your family is so proud of you and they are present for your ceremony. You will now have the chance to complete the final step before becoming a police officer which is completing a final training at the National Police School.

Choice 1 : Quebec National Police School

Quebec National Police School.

You are now at the last step of your police training. During fifteen, you will learn all the important tools that you didn't learn while you were in college. You will know how to handle a firearm, how to make pursuit at high speed, and how to react when you face an imminent danger that can kill you. You now realize that this job is really serious and your life can be at risk at all times. You miss your family, but you are having fun with all the future police officers. You now have to decide between: Do you want to upgrade your skills with your firearm or do you want to manage easily the police vehicle?

Choice 1 : Learn how to manage more easily the police vehicle.

Choice 2 : Upgrade my skills with my firearm and the teaser

Learn how to manage more easily the Police Vehicle.

Driving a police car can be really difficult because you need to be safe and observe your environment while you are driving fast. Since the circuit is always open to practice, you decide to make a couple of test-drives. You know that practice will make you perfect so each morning before your class, you take the time to become a better police driver. It's not always easy to do more than one task while driving, but now, you are able to speak with your walkie-talkie while driving and it's an important step that you've accomplished. Now, it's time for you to graduate from Quebec National Police School.

Choice 1 : Graduate from the Quebec National Police School.

Upgrade my skills with my firearm/and the teaser.

You are practicing with one of your teachers, Alain. He knows that you will become better with your firearm, and he's always there if you need some help or if there's something you don't understand. After a couple of training, you are more confident with your gun, and your teaser and you successfully accomplish your final exam. Now, it's time for you to graduate from Quebec National Police School.

Choice 1 : Graduate from the Quebec National Police School.

Graduate from the Quebec National Police School.

Congratulations! You are now officially a police officer and you are ready to start this amazing journey of a police officer .

You will receive two different offers and you will have to make the best choice since they both of them present interesting pros.

Choice 1 : You will accept the offer from the SQ

Choice 2 : You will accept the offer from the SPVM

You will accept the offer from the SQ.

You are starting your first day as a police officer in the city of Mascouche has a police officer for the SQ . You are happy with your decision because the station is only 15 minutes from your house. The sergeant of the SQ will work with you for one week. You will receive an on-the-job-training so that you understand what are the problems in the city, the important criminal spot, and many more. While the sergeant is talking to you in the police car, you receive a call on a walkie-talkie for domestic violence. Will you take the call or let another duo of officers take it in charge?

Choice 1 : Take the important call

Choice 2 : Let your others teammates take it.

You will accept the offer from the SPVM.

You started your OJT and you quickly realized that this place is not for you. You are missing your family and there is not a lot of action in this area of the province. You have the opportunity to make a lot of overtime, but you don't consider that money is really important. After two weeks, you announce to your boss that you will go work in the SQ.

Choice 1 : You will accept the offer from the SQ.

Take the important call.

You and your sergeant arrive at the apartment where you received a call for domestic violence. Before knocking on the door, you tried to hear some loud noise or any complaints from the victim. After a couple of seconds, you hear a woman asking for help loudly. Do you break the door to get it in faster since she is in danger or do you knock on the door and wait for some backup?

Choice 1 : Break the door, to go in there.

Choice 2 : Wait for some backup

Let your others teammates take it.

You realize that everyone is busy right now, so you and the sergeant talk to the dispatch and you decide immediately to take the important call.

Break the door, to go in there.

You finally broke the door and you take your gun in your hand just to make sure that the suspect isn't dangerous. When you arrive in the kitchen, you see a man beating up his wife. You immediately told him to stop and when he realized that the police is in his apartment, he jumps by the window and gets away with his car. Your sergeant will take care of the injured woman, and he tells you to chase him with the police car.

Choice 1 : Chase the suspect with the police car.

Wait for some backup.

You have been waiting in front of the door for at least 10 minutes but anyone came to help you and you sergeant. It is way too long so you finally decided to break-in, because you can't stop hearing some human noise.

Choice 1 : Break the door, to go in there.

Chase the suspect with police car.

The suspect is going really fast in his Chevrolet Corvette Z06 so you try to catch him up. After a couple of minutes, he finally stopped his car on the highway and you reach his car. When you arrive at his door, he is digging in his pocket and even if you tell him to put his hands where you can see them, he doesn't collaborate. Do you tase him or do you shoot him which will occur his death?

Choice 1 : Take your teaser gun to neutralize the suspect

Choice 2 : Take your gun to shoot him

Take your teaser gun to neutralize the suspect.

You shot the suspect with your taser gun but you realized that it didn't neutralize him. He took a gun out of his pocket, and he shot you twice in the chest. Even if you were wearing a bullet proof vest, you are slowly beginning to lose consciousness and you die. You should've deployed your gun instead.

Choice 1 : Take your gun to shoot him.

Take your gun to shoot him.

You shoot him twice in the head and even if you are traumatized, you realize that you would have died if you didn't take this extreme measure because he had a pistol on him. You are in shock because you never taught you would kill someone in your job. You ask for help from your colleagues with your walkie-talkie.

Choice 1 : Ask for some backup and some paramedic

Ask for some backup and paramedic.

You are now getting help by your colleagues. They ask you if you are injured or if you need to talk with someone. You are shocked with all this event so you ask someone to bring you back to the station.
