I will be honest with you, I have wanted to be a cop since I was a kid. And last year I finally got my wish. I was a Police Officer with Lincoln PD for a little less than a year. But Lincoln just wasn't the right city for me, plus it was an hour drive one way to get there, that sucked.
I'm still trying to get back on the road, have been for a year now. It's tough to get hired anywhere, and I am finding out that even with a Law Enforcement Certificate, it's still just as difficult.
The work was fun, I loved it, but Lincoln just didn't work out for me. It was unfortunate that I had to leave but I had to do what was best for me and my family.
That's my sob story. :-)

I think being a cop would be fun. But I bet it's not what you see on TV. They probably edit out all the boring parts.

I don't care about all that other stuff, I still want to be a cop. Hopefully soon, I am almost 21.

Good for you.
A little advise, don't give up. You may not get hired the first time, but just keep trying.
