Apply to college.

I'm about to finish high school, and I need to choose what I want to study at college. I'm loving the justice, the law, and everything that's related to crime, what should I choose to study?

Choice 1 : Become a police officer.

Choice 2 : Become a lawyer.

police or lawyer

Become a police officer.

I decided to study Police Technology at Ahuntsic College. I immediately fell in love with the program and the job I was aspiring to do. I did some internships to learn the ropes of this beautiful job. It came in really handy because it helped me understand better in my courses and I had straight A's. After three years in college, it is now time to choose the city where I want to work. I'm hesitating between the calmness of Blainville or the action of Laval. Help me decide where should I go.

Choice 1 : Work for Laval.

Choice 2 : Work for Blainville.

Laval or Blainville

Become a lawyer.

I decided to choose to continue my studies in the field of law. I had to move from my parent's house because university was too far. The program was really tough and my time management was not good. I had to put aside my friends and family, so I could concentrate on the homework I had. This choice had a lot of disadvantage, and I was not my happiest but at the same time I really loved the job itself. I need to choose whether I want to continue studying the law or I want to change and become a police officer. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Become a police officer.

Choice 2 : Continue to study law.

law

Work for Laval.

I chose to work for Laval city. I thought it could help me get the best experience I could, to become the best officer. The staff looked very welcoming and my boss gave me the opportunity to choose who my partner is going to be. He gave me two options of mentor that was going to train me. The first one is Philippe, an older man nearing his retirement but has a lot of experience, and the second one is Kalya, a woman two years older than me that is really friendly.

Choice 1 : Choose John as a partner.

Choice 2 : Choose Kalya as a partner.

Laval

Work for Blainville.

I decided to work for the city of Blainville to start my career softly. There are fewer calls and fewer crimes, so it's calmer than the big cities. I don't feel pressured when I don't know an answer. My colleagues can take more time to help me with the paperwork and with the thing I don't master. After 5 years of service, I can specialize in a field of my choice. I hesitate between specializing in sexual crimes or specializing in narcotics. What should I choose?

Choice 1 : Specialize in sexual crime.

Choice 2 : Specialize in narcotics.

Blainville

Continue to study law.

I finished my studies and graduated from the Law program. I persevered, and I started to pull off better grades. I finally became a defense lawyer. One of my first clients was one of the heads of the Mafia, and he didn't like the judge's verdict, so he blamed it on me, and ordered one of his guys to come kill me.

Choice 1 : Start again.

my death

Choose John as a partner.

I decided to start my training with John as mentor. I thought he could help me more since he has a lot of experience. My choice of partner had their ins-and-out. I can say that he was really an expert but since he was from an older generation, he was not really open-minded. He did not listen to my ideas or opinions. I still learned a lot with him and owe him a lot for where I am today. Unfortunately or fortunately, he retired after six weeks as partners, so I became a duo with Kalya instead.

Choice 1 : Become partner with Kalya.

john

Choose Kalya as a partner.

I became a duo with Kalya. We were a good team and had a lot of fun together. She is a very friendly person that likes to talk to everyone, so she had a lot of friends. We had to pull over a car that was driving dangerously. When I met the conductor, I realized that he was drunk. I took his identity card and gave it to Kalya. She realized that it's his cousin. She threatened me that if I didn't let him go, I would be hated by everyone at the police station. Should I let his cousin go or should I arrest him?

Choice 1 : Let him go.

Choice 2 : Arrest him.

Kalya's cousin

Specialize in sexual crime.

I decided to follow a formation and specialize in sexual crime. At first, I loved it, but after six years, the cases started to haunt my night. I did a severe depression. I need to prioritize my physical and mental health. I need to quit this job, it is too much for me.

Choice 1 : Start again.

sexual crime

Specialize in narcotics.

I decided to specialize in narcotics. It was a really fun experience since I became really good at establishing a bond of trust with suspects in order to extract confessions. After only one year, my boss offered me a job with a bonus salary. He offered me to become an undercover agent. I am a little bit scared of what could happen since I will be with all kind of dangerous people. Should I take the job?

Choice 1 : Take the job.

Choice 2 : Refuse the job.

narcotics

Take the job.

I took this opportunity and gained a lot of experiences. It was so different from working in an office almost everyday, and I didn't feel like working at all. In the other hand, in the crime worlds, I get a lot of sexual harassment, and it's becoming really disturbing. I told my boss about it, but he told me I have to remain professional and not offend anyone so the operation can work. Should I continue the operation or go back in investigation?

Choice 1 : Continue the operation.

Choice 2 : Go back in investigation.

undercover

Refuse the job.

I decided to refuse the job. After a few years, I felt like I wasn't improving anymore. The job was somehow really demanding, because I was doing a lot of overtime. I talked to my colleagues about it, and they suggest applying in K9 since I love dogs, and I gained a lot of knowledge in the narcotics' field. Should I do it?

Choice 1 : Keep your job.

Choice 2 : Apply in K9.

exasparated

Continue the operation.

To not disappoint my superior, I continued the operation even though I was recipient of sexual harassment. One day, the flirtation became too much, and I decided to confront the perpetrator. He didn't like the way I spoke to him, so he killed me.

Choice 1 : Start again.

i'm dead

Let him go.

I decided to let him go. I didn't felt good about my decision at all, so I explained the situation to one of my colleagues. She went to our sergeant to denounce Kalya but the sergeant decided to fire both of us since it is a criminal offense, and we should never have let the guy go.

Choice 1 : Start again.

fired

Arrest him.

I didn't let the threats of my partner influence my judgment. I would never let this man go, and risks that he provokes an accident with innocents that could get injured. I arrested him and brought him back to the station. I was really concerned on how my colleagues were going to act with me. My sergeant met me in his office the day after, and he thanked me for my good job. He knew that I had a tough choice to do, but I took the right decision. I was nominated ''employee of the month'', and he gave me a better salary. I continue working a few years, and I retired to spend more time with my family.

Choice 1 : Start again.

employee of the month

Go back in investigation.

I decided to quit the operation and go back into the routine of the investigation. After six months back into the office, I had a case with a guy I used to work with when I did the operation. He found out I was an undercover, and he decided to shoot me in the stomach. I was forced into a leave of absence and received a compensation for the months of rehabilitation.

Choice 1 : Start again.

hospital

Keep your job.

I decided to finish my career in the narcotics' investigation. Since my retirement was coming fast, I told myself that it was too late to start another specialty, so I set aside this idea. I had a really good career, and I am beyond grateful for the experience I gained in this job.

Choice 1 : Start again.

investigation

Apply in K9.

It was my last chance to reinvent myself in my profession, so I applied. It was an incredible and unique experience that I could live with the best dog ever, Simba. We had 8 beautiful years together, and we both took our retirement at the same time. I had to choose between keeping the dog at my retirement or gave the dog away to another family. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Keep the dog.

Choice 2 : Give the dog away.

k9

Give the dog away.

My decision of giving the dog away was the hardest of my life. We developed a solid relation in the last eight years that it broke me to let him go. I took this decision because I wanted to travel the world, and I knew it would restrain me to have a dog. I visited 15 country in three years, and I can say that my life is the prettiest life I could have dreamed of.

Choice 1 : Start again.

travelling

Keep the dog.

I couldn't see myself giving my dog away to another family after all that we lived together in the last eight years. He became my best friend, and it would have destroyed me to abandon him. He lived his best retirement life, running, and playing in the forest, and in the lake in our backyard.

Choice 1 : Start again.
