Hey everyone. I am new to posting messages. I have been trying to get into law enforcement for a long time. I use to work for a university police department. I was a student assistant for 4 years and then I got promoted to dispatcher. I did the dispatcher's job for about a month until I had an accident and some health problems. I was supposed to start the academy this month, but they didn't have any slots open for pre-service. Hopefully I will be able to go in january. I applied for one police department and I passed the exam, I went to the interview but I guess I didn't impress them. I am hoping that I will soon get to be an officer. I got an associate's degree in forensic science, but around this part of georgia you really can't do anything with it. I am currently taking criminal justice online, I hope that will help in the future with job placement and pay. It has been hard, law enforcement is a hard field to get into, I hope everyone keeps trying and doesn't give up.
