What is the consequence of practical joking or horseplay among recruits?

Practical joking or horseplay among recruits is not tolerated as it can lead to safety hazards, undermine discipline, and disrupt the training environment. The nature of police training requires a high level of focus, professionalism, and serious commitment to the tasks at hand. Engaging in horseplay can not only create an unsafe environment but also detracts from the overall learning experience for all recruits. Maintaining a professional demeanor is essential for the development of skills necessary for law enforcement, and any behavior that compromises this standard is viewed seriously. The emphasis is on fostering a culture of accountability, respect, and teamwork that supports effective training outcomes.
