Does being a small town cop sound like it would be a good fit for me, and vice-versa?
* I'm mainly interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement because I feel that it is the best career path that I could make a good living in with my educational level and work experience. I also like the idea of getting a pension once I retire. To be clear though, I would not be a cop who is just looking to do the minimal amount required to get a paycheck. I would perform my duties to the best of my abilities and do whatever I can to be an effective police officer for my community.
* I think I would enjoy being a smaller town police officer than a bigger city one, mainly because I like the idea of being more familiar with the community I'd be serving, and being in a smaller town would make it easier for me to get to know it and the people that live there.
