justice courses for two consecutive years.

4) Describe what you are proposing to do for your Product step-by-step and in detail. Write on
the back of this sheet if necessary.
I will be making a training manual about how to get in shape both physically and mentally for
the S.W.A.T team try outs. On August 28th I will be observing at the S.W.A.T team tryouts. I
2. will then organize a training manual with my facilitator on how to get fit for the tryouts and to
mentally bring myself to a comfortable place. After I have finished the book I and two other
people will be following the book. We will track our progress as we go along and take notes on
our progress. Afterwards, after completing the steps needed, I will set up a try out, as I have seen
done during the actual tryouts, then, my facilitator will determine whether we could make it in
the real tryouts.
5) How is this project a “learning stretch” and a challenge for you?
This project is a learning stretch for me because I am a very busy student. I have never
continuously kept in shape. Nor have any of the other people following the book. Getting
through the training and tryouts may be an extremely hard for us.

My estimated cost for this project ranges from 75-100 dollars. The money will go towards food
for the possible diet and supplies for the book.

I have chosen Lieutenant Olie Cushing as my project facilitator.

Cherokee County Police Department in Canton, Georgia.
