Congrats. Apparently there's a shortage of qualified police recruits in SC if anyone else is looking.
Are you talking about a specific area? Also thinking about it.

I always keep my eye on the fallen. We have to keep the odmp board we have here up to date. They make sure we know every fallen officers name. And yeah I plan to learn from my FTO and the veteran officers as much as I can.Keep it up. Read the latest RIP thread. Read every one. Remember the fallen, listen to the old heads. ALWAYS KEEP EYES AND EARS OPEN AND MOUTH SHUT. OBSERVE EVERYTHING.

This. Couldn't have said it better myself.I know you have heard it many times, be a sponge. When you are released, ALWAYS start every encounter with citizens the way that you would want another officer to act with one of your family members. I know that the person you are dealing with will normally dictate how you react from there, but common courtesy can go a LOOOOOOONG way. 17 years on the job, and only have had to file 5 Use Of Force Reports. Toads know when they are going to jail, it's how you explain it and follow through that will normally lead to issues.
I wish you nothing but the best, and hope that throughout your career you remain a "good apple" in the bushel. If you EVER have questions or need advice, PM me. I'll give you my cell and email addresses and help you, or any other officer, the best that I can.
