What happens if a recruit in the White or Blue phase violates rules?

During the White or Blue phase of training at the Delaware State Police Academy, a recruit's adherence to rules and conduct is critical for maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the program. If a recruit violates any of those rules, they will be swiftly returned to the Red Phase. This response is intended to reinforce the understanding that recruits must meet certain behavioral and performance standards to progress through the phases effectively. The Red Phase serves as an initial stage that emphasizes discipline and foundational training, allowing instructors to address any issues effectively before the recruit can continue in their training. The approach underscores the importance of accountability and the structured nature of the training program, ensuring that recruits understand the consequences of their actions while also providing an opportunity for corrective behavior.
