That is the real story imo. To get anyone that wants to help keep order in their community to think twice about that decision. My son since he was 9 wanted to be a LEO. With all he has seen in the last year alone he has changed his tune. I keep trying to push him to still do what he wants to do but have been suggesting fish and wildlife instead. Much harder to get into though.
You are correct, except here in MN if you are white they want to see your license and harass you, even when you are fishing with your kid in your own backyard and only catching and releasing everything, but if you are a minority you can go to a lake and take 800 fish in coolers stacked up, have no license, be using stolen equipment, and they never bother you at all.
Some departments do have tuition assistance of he hasn't already gone to college. I think you need a degree for fed jobs or military. if it turns out being a cop isn't what he wants he can always leave or try to transfer into fish and wildlife from a police department. Being police would be good for his resume for fed jobs. There are days I hate it but I don't want to do anything else. My department blows and that's why I'm trying to transfer asap. I'm just like your kid except I wanted to be one well before I was 9 we need more people like him to join not less. If either of you have an questions I'd be happy to answer whatever I can. You are more than welcome to message me.
Thanks for the input. He is only 15 so has some time to figure it out. I met a Fish and Wildlife officer while at work and had a good discussion with him. His route was military, degree then had to wait a couple years for the pool to open up. His suggestion was forgo the military and go to school for the degree 4 yr and be prepared to wait a couple to a few years to be hired. Also said he has to deal with not so fun individuals and of course most are armed in his field but that most of his interactions were great.
No problem. I would have never thought that would be such a hard job to get. Another possible route could be community college for associate then police and while being a cop use their tuition assistance for the next two years. Your department may not have it but worth looking into so he can take on as few loans as possible. Even if he don't end up in law enforcement I hope he finds out what he wants to do. Best of luck.

Sounds like California
California is the blueprint for every other leftist state. Vote Democrat if you want your state to be just as safe and orderly as California!
It doesn't matter if you are abalone diving. They nail everyone in violation.
Blackface that shit up son
