Why Did You Become A Police Officer

Why? Why?! Why??!! Especially nowadays with the few bad cops are really making the good cops look bad too! Why did you become a police officer when a majority of the media paints a broad stroke trying to make it seem like all cops are bad?

It's because of your why that you are either getting in, or staying in! Your reasons!

Have you ever listened to Rachel Hollis, Simon Sinek, or Eric Thomas? If you have not, check the links below. Incredible people of great influence and they hit home the point about WHY.

Your why is what carries you through the tough times. Your why is what will get you started or what will help you to stick with it as a career (if you so desire).

Sometimes police officers will forget their "why" (myself included) and it can lead to being disgruntled with the career, thus in turn, the mental health problems start.

So, I ask you again, WHY? If you are in it for the right reasons, the right "why", then never forget it. Also, when someone asks you, "Why did you become a police officer?" You can say your reason and be proud of it.

To be honest - that’s a really helpful kick for all of us, especially who is trying to decide - to joint law enforcement or do some office job. To that’s a deep thought, and gave me a right idea before my future interview. Thank you a lot and keep sharing your ideas

I want to become a law enforcement officer because I want to give back to my community. I want to be the change that I want to see in the world. I want to be the reason that someone changes their perception of law enforcement. I want to be the reason that someone tells their kids and family that law enforcement is not made of bad people. I want to be the person that people can confide in.

This was my dream job when i was a kid thats crazy how u put it big up to you !!!

I’m not 100% sure yet, but I do have a why. Though my question is: does choosing to become an officer mean that you’d have to give up on your other passions because of your why?

I want to join law enforcement because justice is a value that resonates with me.
Making sure that a bad person gets punished or saving people from dangerous situations is as meaningful as a way to live can be.

I've always had an easy life thanks to my parents who worked hard their whole lives, but they did raise me to be honest, kind, polite and they made sure that I value work ethic, which is why I started working at the age of 14. I feel like becoming a police officer would be a way to feel worthy of the life that I got to live so far and changing other people's lives for the best would prove it.

Obviously, earning more than just a few bucks or wearing cool uniforms, driving a police car, having a gun, a taser and a badge are all things that I also find appealing. I think anyone who denies that is full of crap. I don't see why there should be any shame in admitting it. Police officers are impressive, but I do know that all of that equipment is only there because they might need it.

I have no delusions, I know that the job is demanding physically, mentally and that even tho empathy is important, it's also important to not get involved emotionally. I've been fortunate enough to have a few years of experience working in kitchens. Now, obviously, the stakes are not the same at all, but what I mean to say is that I'm no stranger to being uncomfortable and having to battle exhaustion and stress, being yelled at by people, the 12 hours shifts, the lack of social life, etc.

Do you think those are valid reasons to want to become a police officer ?

I've had many bad experiences with police officers they always criminalized me and were very rude when I didn't do anything at all I'm not sure if that's how they're supposed to be but I feel like they're all so bad and abuse their authority from my experiences I want to be one to show the world that there can be good police officers and I can empathize with people who are like me there's no reason 6 police officers need to show up to a house and then kick out a 15 year old boy who just wanted to be understood by his parent then make him feel criminalized and not even hear him out I really hope when I'm a police I don't make people feel as I did that day and instead bring them comfort

[alfredajith]

I think I have a new faveourite person.

[privateprivate]

Or they are insane? What type of self-righteous Narcissist do you have to be to think people want you personally to protect them?

[jimcook]

Job is a piece of cake and great money for abusing people.
