Becoming a Police Officer By Matt Mosley
Why I am interested I personally think that this would be a nice career because I love to help others and I would also keep criminals off the streets. It seems like it would keep me busy all the time which sounds pleasing to me.
School In order to qualify in becoming a police officer I have to- • Graduate High School • Get a degree in law enforcement • Graduate military school
Military School This requirement takes seven hundred and twenty two hours and during this time I would be training with guns and hand to hand combat. I would also practice breaching houses and being trained on what to do in certain situations. Coming out of military school, I would be trained physically and mentally.
The Life of a Police Officer The life of a police officer in certainly not very pleasing for everyone, which after research, I am not sure if I want to become a police officer. The reason is because you never know what kind of day you’re going to have and you might even see people dying. In order to be a police officer you have to literally expect the unexpected every single day.
The Life of a Police Officer Cont. Another down side of being a police officer (at least for me) is that it is more of a lifestyle than a career. The reason for that is that if you see a civilian in danger or in need of something I can’t just ignore it, it would be my duty to help them. I honestly would rather have a regular nine to five job than do that.
Analysis After all of my research with becoming a police officer I found that I actually do not want to become what I thought I wanted to become at first.
