Why a person want to be a police officer?

Answer 1

The reason that someone wants to be a Law Enforcement Officer or Deputy Sheriff are many faceted: Perhaps they want to server their country or community without leaving the US. It could be that they have an affinity to be one of the "good guys" and be a part of the solution and not just another person complaining about the areas state of affairs. Is it that they want to make their community safer for his/her family, and their neighbors family? Or that the job allows for good advancement, a changing environment and often a great retirement? Good pay? It goes far further than the "I want to drive fast and carry a gun' mentality that often people believe is the case...those individuals are split out of the process far before being hired. Personally, I have watched graffiti and crime grow in my community and the surrounding cities. I have seen neighbors/parents talk about how the neighborhoods have changed over the last few years. I have been one of the people watching the news and then complaining that 'someone has to do something!" My father wanted to be a cop. My uncle was a cop. I can no longer be someone on the sidelines...complaining and waiting to be saved. I MUST a part of the solution, part of something larger than myself...part of the brotherhood that make every effort to make your chosen city a safer place to live, work and worship. I don't believe that I will always get the bad guy, but I do believe that somewhere down the road, if I don't get them, someone that will be dressed just like me (when I finally wear a badge) will! Make the world you live in a little better. Make it safer for the kids to ride a bike in the city by helping to get bad drivers off the road. Be a part of the community that people look up to for help. An Officer is more than law enforcement...its community service and support. Be that guy/girl. Be that solution.

Answer 2

People want to become a policeman for a variety of reasons. Some people choose to become policemen because their family members have been policemen. Others want to protect the citizens around them. Other people just enjoy law and want to further their career in that field.

Answer 3

indeed why?

If its anything like the police in London, its all for

1. Any easy life.

2. Where getting involved in crime does pay.

3. The chance and ability to abuse verbally or physically members of the public without any comebacks.

4. Decent pay and pension.

5. Free coffee and doughnuts.

6. The training to be able to consume the above and driving, whilst talking on the phone and a blatant disregard for a seat-belt.

Sounds good eh? but would you walk around late at night in that uniform?

With some of the people I know I wouldn't do it for multiples of their wages.
