You are to interview one Police Officer?
An interview with a Texas state...
I answered emergency calls and interacted with other officers on duty. I worked as a dispatcher for six years. I received my criminal justice Associates degree from Johnson & Wales University.
Indeed for anyone to become a police officer, they must undergo the academy training. The training was amazing as it was also hard. It is then that I learnt lots of details about my new career, yet it was more like an induction.
Q: What do you like best about your job?
A: serving as a police officer means that you wake up to a new thing almost every day. The freedom of being allowed to operate without anyone breathing down your neck all the time, provides me with a feeling of freedom. I would hate to be stuck in a room with seniors directing every move and decision I make.
Q: What do you not like about your job?
A: I’m not fond of working overnight since I often feel that I don’t get sufficient sleep. By default, I’m obliged to hang in there as a new recruit. I will have to wait until I’m assigned a better shift. I understand that law enforcement has to continue throughout the day and night.
Q: Describe your typical day on the job.
A: When there isn’t an urgent activity, I routinely conduct patrol around my designated area. I check on strip malls, gas stations and the like, to ensure that they are safe and that no one is breaking into them. I’m also called in to handle calls relating to domestic disputes which happen to be more prevalent at night. There are also OIUs and suspicious autos.
When the sun begins to rise, I do the rounds one more time to make sure that the situation in my designated area is still calm, safe and secure. Once in a while, there are those who call in to complain about the noise of the neighbor’s backing dog.
Q: What traits do you feel are necessary to be successful as a police officer?
A: Honesty and diligence are essential. One must also be ready for deployment at any time. You must be ready for virtually anything any time. One must also control their emotions. Dealing with horrific scenes, stressed people and accidents is part of police work, and we handle them quite frequently. It is best when one has mastered the skill of staying calm in a stormy situation. It helps one to think straight and make better decisions.
Q: Would you recommend this career to someone else?
A: In my view, law enforcement is a great career for anyone with zeal to serve their community. I find it highly rewarding at personal level. I also think it is one of the best jobs because one never really gets bored. One…
