Same as willpv, but i'd rather be on a motorcycle. I'm shooting for the CHP motor division.

 

That's cool. Do you ride now? A female officer I know was a motor she said its really tuff to get in and that you have to pretty much be an expert at riding before you can even start motor school. So if you're not yet start riding as soon as possible. Motor is my third choice after K-9. I'm hoping to join the military and become a dog handler for my resume. If I end up not joining the military and don't do CHP DPS I'm trying motor school.

I considered trying to become a Detective at one time (and that's what I would aim for if I became a police officer, even now), but the Marine Corps is where I'm going if everything works out.

Patrol or undercover.

Detective. I love the investigative work and most of the things that comes with it. And I'm not just saying that because of my avatar :)

I do ride now. It's a lot to get used to, but it's something i'm capable of. I feel it's very enjoyable for me, which is another reason to get better in it. Once I get my legitimate motor license, I will take what I can from my Father who has been riding for at least 40 years now, and whatever else I can pick up along the way.

Well, I've always had the greatest interest of patrol. I genuinely love interacting and talking to people and I like the diversity. I'd also like to try the S.W.A.T team eventually with enough experience from both patrol and the Marine Corps (Hopefully).

 

But, with a Sheriff's Office the size of Sarasota County S.O. (My dream Sheriff's Office to work for), there's always plenty of opportunities if I'd ever change my mind in the future. 

 

My job on the force has to satisfy these criteria: big salary, ability to sleep on duty, no paperwork, and a cool uniform. So I'm going with the Commissioner. 

 

Seriously tho, paperwork is a bitch and makes you reconsider how romantic the LEO profession really is. 

In any law enforcement career, you need to start somewhere and that's often General Patrol.

 

Ah, general patrol. When you're tending to a raccoon "Obstructing Traffic" one minute, and being mobbed on the next. 

 

I can see why so many officers get cynical of the human race so quickly. 

 

It takes a lot of bravery, perseverance, and patience to stay in patrol, especially in crime ridden areas, like the inner cities. 

 

Especially now a days where there is increasing hatred for the police among certain demographics, not enough pay, reduced overtime, increased amounts of lawyers trying to depict you as a psychopath, it's really absurd in some places. My hat goes off to those boys in blue. 

 

To answer the question, after general patrol I'd prefer an administration role depending on the size of the department, Supervisor really lets you work more of your mind out due to the varying situations. Even School Resource or Detective are paid well, less of the SouthLAnd type shit that patrol officers in the inner cities deal with daily, and can put a smart brain to work in relative safety as well. 

Definitely traffic. Don't know why, but I just like pulling people over in LCPDFR.

Tactical. Then Det.

It would have to be patrol, so that way I can do all the walking I want. 

Narco.  Gotta get them life-changing (in a bad way) drugs off the street.  They degrade the community sooooo much, and a large driving force behind crime. :|

Dispatch I guess cuz I'm.. well, not fit.

Also.. 

"Unit 23, Unit 23, do you require my assistance?"

 

More serious though, no force can do their job properly without them.

I'm good at memorizing numbers too, so police codes wouldn't be a problem.

Well I hope it all works out. How old are you? Are you explorer age 15-21? If you are you should join the explorer program. I've been an explorer for two years. If theres anything you'd like to know about the CHP just ask me.

It will have to be either Traffic or Patrol.

All i need is patrol.

Coroner, Highway patrol or small-town sheriff deputy. 

detective :D or maybe patrol, or even dispatch idk XD

Trooper

 

Do it all and have state wide jurisdiction.
