San Bernardino Sun-Telegram

Trainees at the San Bernardino Sheriffs Academy go through a 13 week course to become certified as cops. The course includes boot-camp like discipline as well as special classes such as 'Handling Death', in which they visit the morgue and watch an autopsy performed. The trainees include men and women and they work side by side.
