As much as I hate SOME cops who are ignorant and cocky, I wouldnt mind becoming one. The pay is good and there's always room for advancement. Besides being able to do certain things civilians can't do, I wouldnt mind serving my community. I think my city needs more cops who aren't stupid and arrogant as some of the ones I've met on the streets. I swear, some of these cops, you wonder how they even became cops. However, I shouldnt be bashing them since they do protect and serve our communities, but I'll be damn if I run into anymore a$$holes who abuse their powers.
Anyways, I guess my question is, how hard is training? Where I live, they pay you during your training in the academy. The salary is much more than what I make now (yea I'm a poor sucker making $31k a year administering 12 freaking servers)! After your first year, you get a pay raise and I think it's in the low 40s.
My desire to become a cop isnt based on money, but more on me needing a job that doesnt require me to be stuck in an office 8-4 doing nothing all day but stare at my computer screen. I enjoy being around ppl and wouldnt mind serving my community.
