Good Evening, I am not even a rookie yet, compared to many of you i have no experience. I am currently a college freshman in California who is majoring in Law Enforcement, and so far picking Law Enforcement as my major has been the best choice i have made. I joined this forum, because i think i will learn a lot from all of you, and see other perspectives of the job (since many of you have a lot of experience) I have always wanted to work for the government, and becoming a police officer has caught my attention since i was in middle school.

I totally will, and yeah
@lawman11 i will never stop learning, i know at some point i will say that, but like you said the job is worth it at the end.. thanks for the advice..
And i know i agree as well
I have been in Law Enforcement for almost 14 years. I am currently a shift supervisor at a University Police Department.
The best advise I can tell you is for you to finish your degree first. Try to get some ride along time with different departments (State, local, county, etc.). Some places offer apprenticeships and that may give you some valuable insight into how departments function.
Remember to P.T. and keep that up. Most law enforcement agencies have P.T. tests in the hiring process. Beyond that, P.T. is needed conditioning and should be considered as part of the job.
Enjoy your years in college and use it to prepare yourself for your future.
