Why not go for a government agency like DEA, ATF, or FBI instead if you want to go after the big guys?

I had to wait 6 months to re-apply again, re-applied last night, am already preparing for this for a long time. Hopefully I will succeed and make myself and family proud! LEO's over here make decent money, 1700-1800 euro / month without any bonuses + most expenses get paid.

Gonna hit the gym right now as in preparation, will rep all my fellow LEO brahs!
I wish US departments had sports tests that were difficult. We'd have a lot less fatties rolling around.

No way. I have family that are cops and when they are working night shifts it's mostly domestic violence and assaults.

So not only do you have to keep your cool, you gotta deal with the shadiest people. I wouldn't make a good cop.

I've seriously never done drugs in my entire life but from what I understand, unless you blaze everyday you should be fine as long as you admit it. Different departments have a certain number of acceptable times a candidate can say for example smoke (insert here) but the biggest problem is when candidates either omit or otherwise try to minimize their use. Then you can get DQ'ed for that sort of thing.
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

Could it have anything to do with their shoot first, ask questions never mentality?

Cops feed off of drugs as much as the drug dealers do: That self-perpetuating monster that is our criminal justice system.

I wouldn't wanna be a police officer, but I could see reasons to be:
- Exciting
- Save lives (not only in the literal sense)
- Physical job
- Solve crime/murders
- Decent pay

Good luck OP. I hope you become a good cop.

i am one. i thoroughly enjoy it. I started at a very slow BFE department, unpaid for 2 years. I worked 2 days a week, 5 days a week at another job. Just recently got hired at a bigger department. I start out at 15.04 an hour. Max rate for patrolman is like 22/hr. I know the pay is ****ty, there are agencies starting out at like 90K+.

You have to really enjoy your job. For me it was never about pay, just wanted to help people. I enjoy being the guy people can call for help. That's what I consider a huge part of my pay, seeing someone break down in tears after you helped them is far more rewarding than a paycheck.

If you truly want to work this field you need to dedicate yourself. Long hours, chit pay, chit scheduling, kiss ass with your higher ups. Its a lot of bs, but I love it. srs. You see so much of humanity that most will never see. You see people at their absolute lowest, it's very humbling.

EMTs/firefighters save lives, and sometimes risk their own. Cops are under no such obligation. SWAT are our legal assassins and have acceptable losses.

They ask in a certain time frame like have you smoked in the past 3 years

I have thought about it but the reasons I wanted to do it was because it seems like a cool job and I think I would look good in a police officer uniform, so superficial reasons. I am more interested in working border patrol for US/Canada.
