I did six years in the Army as a Combat Engineer; prior to that I did one year as a Court Officer where I conducted the follow duties:

Protecting and securing courtrooms and the court house in preparation for trials

Retrieving files and warrants from the JP's and Judges Office

Escorting and ensuring the safety of all accused

Running and logging names into criminal databases

Assisting fellow officers in tracking down court dates for accused and the whereabouts of the accused

After my stint in court, I did several years in Headquarters and the Anti-Gang/Guns unit whereby I was a part of a team of advisors to Chief working on youth problems and gangs in a community-building capacity. This involved

Creating and Implementing community programs and workshops tailored towards at-risk youths

Advising members of the Anti-Gang unit in dealing with suspects under the age of 21

Mentoring and advising at-risk youths (which I still do today, mainly because I know what they are going through; been there myself)

Promoting a culture of peace amongst communities hardest hit by gang crime

All this before I turned 23; Now I'm finishing up a BA in Criminology.

Thats awesome! is that also a sworn position?

Actually, to be honest; I took no oath of office, the only oath of office I took was when I enlisted.

However they didn't treat me any different, no special considerations, no special treatment; I had to be able to handle and deal with situations myself. I was with them; day or night, rain or shine.

Especially in Courts, it was a no holds bar wild ride in 2006 when we had all the gang raids and trials; with the anti-gang team it was even harder working in the "ghetto".

Need less to say, I have a very different view point of life and how things work after my stint with the Police. Before that I was a naive kid who thought everything was all rainbows and sunshines, after the first two weeks in court my opinions and views changed.

btw, if anyone is asking; I worked with a large urban service in North America.

Thats awesome man. Great thing you did and are currently doing

I'm a Police Aid ( i'm the back up of the back up)

But when I do work I go on patrol on the highway looking for cars that broke down, issue parking tickets, some times i will get called for back up to a officer ( VERY VERY VERY rare) happened once in the entire time I was there. Also I go to minor things like some one threw some thing and it broke a window when officers have some thing better to do.

By the way, guys... (Don't wanna to start new thread for that.) Is it possible to enter law enforcement academy (at least local one) after US naturalization?

You mean once you get your citizenship? As long as you meet all other requirements, you can. Citizenship is citizenship, doesn't matter whether you were born here or immigrated (except for being President).

exactly what cp702 said. as long as you have your citizenship your a citizen of the United States so you have all of the same rights and privledges we do. so DO IT!!

Exactly.

Thanks pals, now I'm starting to think about applying DHS :biggrin:

Man, I'd love to move to the US. Anyone know how much it is for a Visa? or to move their permanently?

To be honest, it wasn't all that awesome or great. That's for a different discussion, all I can say is in policing there is a lot of politics (internal and external).

I feel ya there. but at least your not shooting at the cops..... ur helping them but like you said... different discussion

I'm a Sheriff's Deputy with a large agency in Florida. Got my bachelor's degree and have been on the job for a couple years. My duties include basically everything your average cop will deal with in a patrol function... responding to 911 calls, doing some traffic enforcement if I choose, and I also try to find some time to be proactive. As with most cops I have some pet peeves. Two of mine are people who illegally park in handicap spaces (typically kids who use grandma's car and think they can park in the handicap spot) and habitual juvenile runaways who typically are being used as prostitutes in the area, which sickens me to even think about it. I work nights so I get to see a lot of in-progress calls, but also have my fair share of the typical domestics and the pesky 911 misdials and/or hang-ups. On the rare occasion that absolutely nothing is happening in my zone on weekday night, then I either fight myself to stay awake or my zone partners and I meet up and see what kind of trouble we can find.

Occasionally about 4 or 5 of us have nothing going on so we'll sit on known drug houses and pull cars over coming out of there. One particular location they just love to roll the stop sign out to the main road, then wonder why 5 marked patrol cars are behind them for simply running the sign or not using a turn signal. I love seeing their reaction... However, one instance we all pulled a car over and much to our surprise the driver had an outstanding warrant out of California for two counts of premeditated murder. Good catch for only a failure to use a turn signal which we were going to use to attempt a search of the vehicle. I use that story every time I stop someone for speeding and they try to tell me I have better things to be doing or "real criminals" to be catching instead of stopping them. Mind you, I RARELY actually write a traffic citation, but people still want to argue about their verbal warning.

That's my job... I love going to work every day. Now if we could just encourage the politicians to pay us more :thumbsup:
