To become a police officer is in my opinion, a dream job. There are many reasons why I think this job is one of the best. I'm in police technology for two year's and I love this program. I want to share you my passion and show you somes aspects that make this job for me, a dream job. In this essay, I will try to explain to you the three main reasons to become a police officer. I will show you three reasons that make this job so incredible and those reasons are for me the most important.

1. The absence of routine

When you are a cop and you receive calls, you don't know what the call is about! And it's never the same thing. When you arrive on the scene you never know what to expect. In this job, although some tasks may be the same, the routine isn't the same every day as if you were working in an office, factory, store etc...You will rarely eat at the same time! During your shift, you will receive many different calls. Sometimes it will be for a robbery, for a car accident, for breaking and entering, violence, vandalism and so much more. In brief, you will work on different things all the time. And with time, some police officers can also be trained for more specific duties (investigation, surveillance, drug enforcement etc.). Which can be motivation and interesting once you have more experience.

2. The action

First of all, being a Police Officer is a very dangerous job. During each shift you are exposed directly to danger. Sometimes the call that you will receive can be very dangerous, it will be stressful. You have to be prepared for every situation because as I mentionned in point 1, you never know what to expect. You have to learn new tactics regularly! Some situations will represent action, like a pursuit, a shootout and many others. Some other situations will need you to help people, or to apprehend criminals. It is definately an action job! Often, police officers will be the first response team, arriving before the fireman or before the ambulance, and it is your obligation and duty to do what it takes when someone's life is in danger. Moreover, you must stay in control in any situation.

3. Helping people

The main responsibility of a police officer and all law inforcement employees is to protect the community. Helping out is a big part of this job. Keeping the peace too! You will help people in difficulty by referring them to some ressources that can help.You will protect people from the danger. You are serving your community by risking your life to maintain order and peace. This for me is what makes this job so significant.  That must be rewarding!


Hope you enjoyed!
