So You Want to be a Police Officer? Here is All You Need to Know About the Process

By: - August 18, 2017

Have you really thought this through? Have you thought about what it really takes to become a police officer? Do you really think you can do the job? Trust me, law enforcement as a career is not for everyone. Not everyone that starts out makes it to retirement.

This job is hard on some people. Some make it. Some don’t. It’s just the nature of the job. As you have probably heard from other places I’m sure, this quote is very appropriate for Law Enforcement, “with great power comes great responsibility”.

There is no greater responsibility than taking care of your fellow man and protecting those that cannot protect themselves. This is an occupation that sometimes calls for taking a human life on a split second decision and you alone are the one making it. That is one of the greatest responsibilities you can have in this world. Guard it with care.

So you may be asking why listen to this guy? What makes him think he can tell me about being a cop? Well I am and have been a cop (Police Officer) in Florida going on 33 years now.

I have served in both small and large agencies (3 and a break for serving in the U.S. Army). I have served in many different units, Narcotics (where I was involved in my first shooting), Patrol, Traffic, DUI Task Force, Dive Rescue Team, Traffic Homicide Investigation, Training Unit, Academy Staff, and now my current position (for the last 20 years) Police Academy Trainer (and Police Commander up until Dec 6th, 2010).

I teach and travel a lot, teaching all over the world. I have been as far away as Singapore to teach their police officers. I am currently the Police Academy Coordinator at a major North Florida Institute of Public Safety.

    • Mike Johnson: Victim of Stockholm Syndrome?
      By Paul Blanchfield In the congressional football game between the American Patriots and the Globalists, the AmPats had pulled the failed McCarthy and replaced him with new QB Mike Johnson on whom they now pinned their hopes for a safer America. They were gobsmacked when on the first snap from center, Johnson tucked the football… […]
    • Do anti-Semitic protesters still get student-debt 'forgiveness'?
      As to the signs held by and the slogans chanted by the "pro-Palestinian" protesters, switch out the words "Jew" or "Jewish" and insert the word "black." The nationwide George Floyd/Black Lives Matter protests of the summer of 2020 would then look like a knitting circle. President Joe Biden condemned "the anti-Semitic protests," but added, "I… […]
    • Another boneheaded move by House Republicans
      It was a bad day for First Amendment purists in the House of Representatives when, in bipartisan fashion, it voted to foist a definition of anti-Semitism by something called the "International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance" on the U.S. Department of Education, one of the Cabinet "deep state" posts marked for dropping by Donald Trump should he… […]
    • You want 'revolution,' kids? Brush up on your history
      The pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protests have spread to university campuses across the country, just as the agitators hoped (and planned) for them to do. As was also expected, some of these protests have turned violent. A Jewish student was poked in the face with a flagpole at Yale University and hospitalized; another Jewish student was… […]
    • Can the public's distrust of media get much worse?
      The national media consider themselves essential in educating the electorate, so what happens when the electorate does not consider them a trustworthy guardian of democracy? The Associated Press and the American Press Institute just released a poll on the 2024 election and found only 14% of their sample expressed "a great deal of confidence in… […]
    • The 'Biden bump' didn't last long
      "The election is clearly changing now, moving towards Biden," the influential Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg declared on March 26. "The Biden bump is real." For Republicans, Rosenberg is someone worth listening to; he was right about the nonexistent "red wave" many in the GOP expected back in 2022. When he said the election was moving,… […]

      Mohamed Abdou is a pro-Hamas "anarchist interdisciplinary activist-scholar of Indigenous, Black, critical race, and Islamic studies, as well as gender, sexuality, abolition, and decolonization" at Columbia University. Now, I don't mean to pick on Abdou. It's just that he happens to teach virtually every trendy pseudo-intellectual identitarian twaddle concocted by modern man. Ultimately, we make… […]
