Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Law Enforcement across the country are hurting for applicants...Federal, State, and Local. If you've always wanted to work in Law Enforcement, now is the time to apply!

What do you like about this subject? I love helping people to get started in Police work, and I enjoy showing folks how the legal system works...keeping them out of trouble beforehand!

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I'd like to continue to learn something new every day. A good Police officer is never bored, and should always be learning something related to his or her field.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Everything having to do with cops these days is controversial...but most Police officers, if asked privately, would say that decriminalization of marijuana wouldn't cause the Republic to collapse.
