Other persons have been very instrumental in my decision to become a law enforcement officer. I want to be promoted to Chief of Police one day. The decision to enter law enforcement was completely my own. Police work appeals to me because you will have the ability to help eliminate crime in our neighborhoods. Police work is not nearly as dangerous as television shows and news accounts make it out to be.
Individualism is an important strength of a law enforcement officer.
It is more important to me to become a team leader than to stay a team member. There are some items I would change about myself if I could. Gaining the trust and respect of fellow officers is one of the most important aspects of being in law enforcement. Police work is a very dangerous profession. I compromise to avoid problems, even when I am right.
