For my end-of-studies project, I chose the career option of police officer. Since I was a child, I always wanted to become a police officer when I grew up. My neighbors and I always played cops and robbers growing up, and I would always want to be the cop. I also always watched the show “Cops”. I like the show because it's very interesting and I could see myself pursuing this career. That's where it all started. Being a police officer means being willing to sacrifice your life for the well-being of others. Police officers are responsible for enforcing and enforcing the laws of the United States. A basic police job usually involves driving around on patrol looking for any type of crime or illegal activity in progress. A police officer's day is usually not as dangerous and exciting as that shown on television or in the movies. Most officers spend their time patrolling neighborhoods or performing traffic duties. They are required to patrol areas on foot, on motorcycles, by bicycle or in a police car. This helps them accomplish their tasks for the day. Police officers must familiarize themselves with the area assigned to them and be aware of existing conflicts. Agents must always be ready to receive a service call at any time of the day. Police officers encounter many different types of situations, such as injuries, public disorder, or a serious crime. The basic events they are supposed to include are assaults, domestic disputes, thefts, car accidents, fires and loud parties. When officers arrive at these locations, they must take control of the situation properly and immediately. Police officers do not always work alone. If there are situations containing an injury, officers notify first responders to help the injured person...... middle of paper ...... because that's a big bonus. I also know a lot about being a police officer because I have a few police officers in my family and I talk to them about how they started and what it's like to be out there every day protecting people's lives , etc., and I also know a lot of information because I watched the show Cops a lot growing up and they have some good information about what it means to be a police officer. After high school, I plan to attend Northampton Community College for two years to study a degree in criminal law to begin my future becoming a police officer in any town or city where I can be accepted. I think I have a good chance of becoming a police officer because I am willing to work hard every day to give myself an edge over all the other trainees at the Police Academy.
