If you have ever thought about becoming a policeman, then this article is for you. You'll learn everything you ever wanted to know about becoming policeman, where policemen work, how much they get paid, what kind of additional in-service training they need, how you can become a policeman, some of the dangers involved in the job, when you can expect to retire and how you can make difference in the lives of people you serve.
It is very honorable to be a policeman as you are serving the government and the society. A policeman makes sure the laws are respected and criminals are arrested. On top of that, policemen are the reason why we are living in a wonderful society where everyone is peaceful and can work and live without being physically or mentally hurt. Let’s never forget why policemen are waking each day for all of us.
Policemen prevent crime and give tickets to the disturbing drivers. They also make sure the laws are respected as well.
Policemen patrol in the city, and give tickets to people that doesn't follow the road rules. Also, they may go to the court if the arrested people want to debate on a given ticket. Not just that, apprentice policemen patrol near the parks on bicycles to make sure the atmosphere is kind and peaceful. Some high ranked police officers work at the police station in the administration and investigation. They try to combine all the proves to bring criminals to the court to confront the judge because they broke the law.
Policemen workdays' start at the police station and are continued on the roads everywhere around the city.
To become a policeman, you have to take collegian courses in Police Technology for 3 years. After the collegian studies, you have to go to Nicolai’s Police School to pass more specific tests which are physical and mental tests.
Policemen make roughly $35 an hour. After 6 years of hard work, this amounts of money can double if you get a higher ranked position in Police.
Policemen need physical and psychological training to perform well in their career.
Some people may not like you and will be aggressive just because you are a policeman.
There're no chances that would happen soon.
Policemen often retire after 20 years of work. Most policemen can retire at the age of 60. For example, my grandfather has been working since 25 years old, and now he is still working in a company that helps the Police to arrest criminals. He could retire if he wanted because he is 72 years old now, but he doesn’t want to stop working. He likes to work every day, and I am surprised by his devotion to his job.
So far, I am currently in the collegian studies Police Technology. The next step will be to go to Nicolai. After all of that, which is around 3 and a half years, I will be a policeman.
