Inside APD: "Remember Your Why" - The Fallen Officers Challenge
During the final week of the Arlington Police Department's Basic Police Academy, recruits complete an exercise that pushes them to the limit both physically and mentally. It's called the Fallen Officers Challenge in tribute to the eight APD officers killed in the line of duty.
In this episode of Inside APD, we take you inside the Challenge and share what one fallen officer's family wanted to say to recruits as they prepare to serve and protect the City of Arlington.
