Cadet Academy Class 08-2026 | Week 11 Highlights

Week 11 of the LAPD Cadet Academy brought a great mix of learning, teamwork, and friendly competition!

Recruits started the day with an informative presentation from POPP, followed by a special visit from our four-legged guests—the LAPD Therapy Dogs! The therapy dogs were definitely a highlight of the day, giving recruits a chance to learn about the important role these furry partners play in supporting wellness and providing comfort.

The rest of the day was all about discipline and teamwork! Recruits sharpened their skills during drill before putting their strength, endurance, and team spirit to the test in a fun PT competition. With plenty of motivation, friendly rivalry, and a few laughs along the way, recruits showed that hard work and fun can go hand in hand!

As graduation draws closer, our recruits continue to build lasting memories, strengthen their bonds, and demonstrate the leadership and teamwork skills they’ve developed throughout the academy.

Another Saturday down, one step closer to graduation! 💙💛
