Dealing with the dregs of society on a dailly basis is certainly not an attractive and uplifting work experience. Especially in this day of dealing with 'frequent flyers' every day screwing things up for everybody else.

There are those that are attracted to police work and truly want to serve and help other people. They're doing it for the right reasons.

Then there are those that want power over other people, and they're in it for the wrong reasons.

I'm just grateful that the law enforcement career path didn't work out for me and I got into IT instead.
