I'm sure most cops are "called" to be cops. Besides the calling, there is the pay check, health insurance, and retirement. In no particular order. Not to mention you don't need to get into 50k in college debt to have the career.
Not any more. The trend is to go past Sgt. you need a 4 year degree. Lot's of young men and women are taking the job already $30,000 in debt with college loans. They would make more selling insurance and banking with no weekend and night work.
Law Enforcement was good to me but I'm glad I steered my son and daughter away. kwg
