"I want to be a policeman..."

...when i'm older.

Can somebody tell me what qualifications I need and what it's like etc etc...

I'm just starting to decide what I want to do as a career in School and was wondering whether someone who is an actual policeman can tell me what it's like and stuff.

Thank you!

A police officer, surprisingly.

You have to be for at least 2 years.

Oh and Clazon, I don't believe your stats quoted.

:P

Nah, im only 14. :D

Why don't you just ring your local police department and ask them.

You could probably arrange to get some work experience with them as well if you're 16+.

Thats it.

I typed in police and it came up with police cunstable, I dont want to do that. The thing is, there are alot of different police departments. Theres computer police people, traffic police etc etc.

EB, what do you work as in the police force?

I dont know much about Police thats why I want to start learning a bit more about it.

Google it.

*sigh*

It's obvious nobody can help me so has anyone got a link? I dont like Google-ing it because it just comes up with Pish.

I know a company that specialises in providing career information but I forgot their name.

:(

I was going to say that, but when I weighed it up a financial resolution to a moral problem wasn't worthwhile.


That basically means that I think to be a policeman you don't have to be those things, but it's better if you are cos you'll get accepted by the majority of the others who are.

Interestingly, 8/10 white officers who were willing to answer in an unamed station, said that they became a policemen to stop the increase in black crime. That seems like there's a little more prejudice than objectivity.

Don't get paid for doing it in your own time

(For EB's and possibly others benefit)

MAY BE OFFENSIVE

But you can be racist, neglegent and clumsy in your own time and you don't even have to wake up early.
