If you want to become a police officer, then this article is for you.
Like said in the Police officer/manager by the Princeton Review, being a police officer is nice but hard, you have to be alert all the time.
Police officers do a lot of things. The basic officer is to keep public order and protecting lives. A detective will investigate all about the crime. A Police like a sheriff and a state trooper will maintain order in bigger bailiwicks.
On a typical day, police officers will be doing his routine patrol duties. He will answer 911 call and go to the location. At the end of his day, he will go back to the station write a report of his day and turn in equipment if necessary.
Police officers usually get recruited to a city and that they stay in. He can ask for a transfer to go closer to home. Some other job are specific to a city and are not for everywhere.
To become a police officer, it depends on where you live. In Quebec for example you need to have your high school degree and go to college in a Police Technology program to get your college degree. You can also go to the GRC where you only need your high school degree and pass a formation with them it is shorter, but sometimes you will not be able to work close to home.
You are starting around 60 000 to 75 000 dollars a year, and you can get to 110 000 to 125 000 dollars a year depending on your experience.
You need to go to the police School of Nicolet after your college degree to undergo some additional training to become a basic police officer. Sometimes depending on the work you want to do you will have to undergo some physical test.
The dangers of being a police officer are simple. It can go from being injured because of a little error to get shot or even dying.
I think the chance are far because you need judgment to become a police officer, and I don't think that robots are close to having a good judgment.
You can retire after you have worked for 25 years or more. Even if you don't have the 25 years you can retire if you are 55 years old or, if your age plus your eligibility service equal 75 years.
If, everything said in here correspond to you or don't scare you then it is the right job.
