Switching from USAR To Cop, what to expect?

Self Post

Hello! I never thought I'd want to be a cop, hell it wasn't even on my docket of things I wanted to be as a kid. But, ever since I couldn't hack it in the army (being trans, nothing else.), I fell into a depressive slump. Talked to my CPT who is a cop from a completely different state, and thought I'd give that a shot. Honestly I'm just looking for something with the same environment I had while deployed and or on active orders.

I'm wondering if there's any others who switched from being in the Military to being a cop, what were the biggest challenges? What skills transfered? And what are some things you enjoy more as a cop now?

If any are curious, I'm gunning to be a cop for KCPD, the detectives didn't seem to care I was trans so, already doing better there.
