I am planning on beginning the process to serve my community, I'm planning on becoming a police officer or a fireman.

I have been reading about both jobs and what it takes to get hired, but I'm unsure the best path to follow.

I'm planning on getting my CPR before next semester and starting a program.

Right now I'm looking at arapahoe community college's program, either their http://www.arapahoe.edu/departments-...forcement-acad or http://www.arapahoe.edu/departments-...cy-medical-s-0

I know I need my CPR, and the second option above for arapahoe is the EMT-B. The first option above is for a police academy.

I'd like to pick a path that will employee me ASAP.

As far as a fireman or a police officer I think both jobs would be rewarding and give me the challenges I'm looking for.

Any police or fireman that could provide me with any advise to achieve my goals would be greatly appreciated. I'm still at ground zero and need to know where to begin to climb to my goal.


thanks,
Chris
