"It's great! It's kind of one of those new things were you work out all the kinks and I mean its going well, very well since we've been here," says DOC Training Cadets Zak Davenport and Sharmin West.

The program is eight weeks long. This first class currently has a total of 52 cadets, but the new facility can hold up to 72 recruits.
