Answer Hi Brittany,
I'd be glad to try to answer you questions.
1. I loved my job as it was very rewarding.
2. I can't think of much I didn't like.
3. I worked out of a patrol answering various
complaints from citizens. I also patrolled looking
for suspicious activity. I worked as a crime scene
investigator, the vice and narcotics unit and spent
time on the SWAT team.
4. yes there was a test given proxy. every 2 years.
5. I would recommend this career to anyone that like
dealing with people, has a strong stomach and is
looking for adventure and not just wanted to sit behind a desk.
5. With my first Department I made rank in 2 yrs.
6. Most of the time yes.
7. I worked all three shifts.
8. yes generally speaking. There can be a lot of politics depending on what department you serve on.
9. No, I would be a Police Officer all over again.
Hope this helped Brittany, if you need anything else just ask.
