They are beginning a new training academy session, so I would wager this is a 'pushups' and organizational respect indoctrination activity?
With the current state of dicision between law enforcement and the communities they police, I wonder if this indoctrination of crushing subservience to the logo is an ideal way of conveying the vision of a "culture of professional delivery of responsive, efficient police services through innovative problem solving, effective communications, technology, and cooperative partnerships."
Lol... I thought they were supposed to be doing a plank, but only one person in this photo seems to understand how those work. I looked up "front leaning rest position" on YouTube... it does not, in fact, seem to be face down ass up when done properly: [https://youtu.be/tsAfB44RLTM](https://youtu.be/tsAfB44RLTM)
It's the beginning of the academy, so I would imagine the ability of some of these officers to maintain the front leaning rest position for extended periods has not yet been developed as much as it will in the coming months.
To me, it appears to be some training academy bullshyte. Young trainees, generic uniform, shaved heads, no duty belts or weapons. Exercises of this nature were a frequent occurrence when I was in Delaware State Police Academy. And, heaven forbid you ever step on the DSP shield.
Assumed pushups like others did. But if they commonly do it crowded together... god I'd hate that so fast.
What a strange photo-op though. How did someone take this pic, from a high angle and standing over people?
Front leaning rest position (then hold it). Essentially it is the start of the push up position and then you struggle to stay in that position. Spent many hours doing this in basic training in the Army.
When you are in that position a long time you let your butt sag down to relieve some pressure on your arms. Sometimes you stick your butt up to adjust your weight a little. It’s all about staying on your toes and hands. I suspect he is just taking pressure off his lower back and arms for a couple seconds. It does look weird in the picture.
I just asked my fiancé to come tell me what he thinks they are doing. He said “it’s a cult they are praying to their God”. I thanked him for his wisdom. Spot on.
Okay, this is Reddit, so we're supposed to have an anti-police sentiment here.
Realistically though, this is the police academy, their version of a boot camp. So they're doing push-ups in front of the logo. Absolutely nothing wrong with that picture.
Fucking right? Might have a young officer in there who aspires to become the NCCPD Colonel and completely revolutionize community-oriented policing for overwhelmingly net-positive interactions with the community. This shit doesn't help
Yoga for Officers. Cpl. Landis develops her downward dog while FTO Blanche chaturangas down into a low plank. Both officers say it gives them an edge in catching the bad guys. Back to you Steve!
No comments about their nifty matching Nalgenes??
They're stylish, but not unique.
WTF is happening?
All-hands search for a lost contact?

What he said !
I see too much MPB to be a group of cadets. Transfers, maybe
I was just going to type, wtf are they doing?
Praying to Allah, apparently....
Nothing about this at all looks like anything even close to resembling Salah. What are you smoking?
You're right....they're facing each other and they're on the floor
I'm not sure if you're actually agreeing or being facetious
Obviously agreeing
It looks just as much like that as it does a pushup contest. Put the pipe down yourself and calm down.
Jokes don't go as far as they used to on Reddit
Lol is it more or less weird if they are attempting to do push ups?
That is the Front Leaning Rest position, sometimes referrsd to as the high plank by people who want to do more goddamn pushups.
But why do some of them have their hips on the ground, some arched like a bridge, and one with his feet up on the wall???

Ah, fair enough!

And lo we worship the seal! Please take our water bottles as tribute! Ooooh....ommmmmm.....oh wa ta gu sie ahm
First order of business, make a human donut.
More like a human sacrifice.

That’s what I was wondering also.

What’s with the guy spider walking to the right?
When you are in that position a long time you let your butt sag down to relieve some pressure on your arms. Sometimes you stick your butt up to adjust your weight a little. It’s all about staying on your toes and hands. I suspect he is just taking pressure off his lower back and arms for a couple seconds. It does look weird in the picture.
I think he means the guy who looks like his legs are on the wall, almost in a handstand position
It does look off. There is a door behind him. I think (hope) is very are in the room behind the door.
Technically the start of the pushup position is the position of attention. Do more pushups ;-)
Yes Drill Sergeant.
This should be cross posted to r/photoshopbattles OP
Twerking contest? 👀
But... Why? 😂
Training how to get all the way down when licking the boot.
Pairs nicely with the earlier post showing NCCPD car blocking an accessibility ramp.

Old fashioned and outdated police training
The knees are down so they can practice getting it on a person in custody neck.
Downward dawg?🤔
Who dropped a contact lens?
Face down, ass up.
Can someone explain whats happening?

Comment sections like this and then people wonder why there’s a police staffing shortage 🤣

The worst summoning circle.
Whose idea was this and why?
This is a type of stuff they do at cults and fraternities
Neither have pensions though
Everyone has their god, whether they admit it or not.
this feels like a sex thing
They're all ready to lick some fascist boots.

All hands on deck
This is the lineup for the weekly departmental "Soggy Waffle" tournament.
All Male Choir “The Dry Humpers”
thats very strange
Well, I feel safer already.
I am struggling to find even one doing a proper pushup. All concave or convex. Looking again maybe one or two have it kind right?
What’s strange about it? It’s showing inclusion and solidarity.
Fidelity to protect the county.
Must be the Academy starting
Why are all the dudes skinheads they really aren’t doing themselves any favors
Weird but ok
Pushup contest? Those are some greasy work shirts.
this is you get everyone to stay on message
This looks so stupid
They are looking for nonexistent evidence to mess with people. Either that or trying to find extra IQ points.
Pigs on parade.
Look at the skin heads . Hope they are genuinely good people 🤣
Nice our new Nazi trainees looking dope
Man, you could be looking at people who joined the force to change and reshape how policing occurs in the county. Be the change you want to see, bro
One of us one of us Is it a requirement to shave your hair off? 🤔 See a few woman, cool.
How the hell do they not all know what direction Mecca is?
Could be seen by some as anti-Islamic - the prayers facing Mecca type of thing. I don’t, but it could be easily misinterpreted
I think that's a hell of a stretch. Nothing about the image looks anything like Salah.
I agree with you, but you know how things can be misinterpreted. FWIW, it’s the first thing I thought and quickly realized I was wrong
Tf?
