Being a police officers, you have to know that you are going to be seen as a figure of authority. People are going to come to you on the streets to tell you about problems and ask for your help. You represent the law, so you have to make sure to follow it yourself.
Police officers interact with people every day, and they try to help with the tools they are given. When an illegal act is committed, and they are called to help, they can arrest the person who as committed an illegal act if needed. They fill rapports out every day to keep everyone up with what is going on in the territory they serve.
A typical day as a police officers includes daily patrol and waiting for calls to be transferred bye the 911.In between your calls, you can have an assignation given by your sergeant, or you can simply interact with people, create trust with the community by getting out of your car.
They work at a police precinct.

Other that the two diplomas that we saw earlier, no additional training is needed.
When deciding to become a police officer, you need to accept that your future career will be dangerous. When people are calling 911, they do so because they need help. The situation they need to be fixed might be dangerous. We never know why we are being called somewhere. It can be really dangerous. People might be armed, aggressive or mentally unstable. It is a dangerous job, you will have to fight frequently when working, but you will follow a training that will make sure you are ready for it.
There are not really a lot of chances that police officers will be replaced by robots. Robots can not interact with people and fix human problems. At least not for now. Robots do not have the qualifications yet.
In Quebec, a police officer can retire with a penalty after 20 years of service and without a penalty after 25 years.
In my career trajectory, I am at my second year of the Police Technology here at Ahuntsic College. When I will be finished, I want to get in at L'École national de police du Québec as soon as possible. When I will be a police officer, I want to become a detective. It takes a lot of years to be admissible but for now, it is still my goal.
