If I was still living in the city I'd consider it. I completed basic training with the Canadian Armed Forces years ago then resigned. Toronto Cops make a decent salary. I wouldn't mind detective work.

Still go for it; even if things are bad right now but what we need are actual good guys in these positions and not those corrupt pieces of shit.

At one point, yeah. I took criminal justice in high school and went through the academy. But, ultimately I pursued another path.

Lol wut? You're feared by one half of people and glorified by the other half. And you make a decent wage, in a union, and get pension.

Yeah thankless, tell that to the immigrants who cut meat or pick fruits/vegetables

Being a cop kinda seems fun imo >_> I work with cops a lot and they all seem pretty chill. Plus they help me out a lot when people got rowdy

Just dont do dumb racist shit like that Minnesota cop and you should be good to go lol

honestly, yeah. i have this knack for getting people to open up to me and i abhor violence. people feel safe around me; i think it would be nice if they could feel that way around cops.

and leverage scrounges get under my skin in a severe way. bullies and abusive types. people who look at me and think i'm going to let them do horrible shit. like the time i was in a convenience store and this guy started tearing into the cashier on a 95 degree day. turns around and smiles at me like i have his back.

I almost became a probation officer. I was in the last round of interviews , then they hired someone internally. They were like oh of this dude didn't transfer you would have been the one, try back next time. Then I saw what the police were doing my community and that ship was gone .

Its a very rewarding job with great pay and benefits. You see a lot of fucked up shit and it starts to all blur after a point. Avoiding becoming the salty cop helps. Each year Ive worked in a different station on a different area and it keeps it fresh. The people I work with are all younger and its completely different than working with the older generation of cops. A lot of them quit or retired when body cams were mandated in 2015. As well as a lot of new school rules they just dont like

Being patrol is fun, you get the whole area and just roam doing whatever you want, going wherever you want. Complete freedom. There are days where youre slammed with people calling the police. Start to finish going call to call on domestics in the suburbs. Or shootings in the hood where one call takes your entire day.

id do it again. Cant beat the time off either. I got 200 vacation hours still and took off like 3 weeks off already. I took off almost 2 months last year

No, I wouldn't enjoy the job itself. And as we've with recent events, a huge portion of the population hates all cops because of the .001% that do terrible things and abuse their power.

I was strongly considering it, which is why I did my homework on the career and learned how shit the overall system was.

I don't have the ability to keep quiet about people harming other people. I'd lose the job or my mind.

I actually got my degree in criminal justice, but by the time I graduated I was so disillusioned with the system that I decided I wanted nothing to do with it.
