Personal Experience

One thing that happened to me that changed my life was joining the police explorers program. I had no clue what I wanted to be or what I wanted to do with my life, all I knew was that I did not want a desk job. So I started looking through more active jobs and found Police Officer. I decided to check it out and found a program called police explorers. I joined the program, and after the first meeting, I knew for sure what I wanted to do in my life. The explorers program meets about three times a month and while we are there, we learn about what cops really do for a job. We also get to role play and practice things like handcuffing, searching, and responding to different types of calls. Every week I would look forward to my next meeting and learning more and more new things. We also got to go on ride-alongs with the officers in the department. These just helped to maximize my dedication to becoming a police officer.
