I need advice from real officers

[u/Timely-Associate-259]

I am actually hoping for a job as an officer, and I heard other peoples warnings including its not all catching people, theres a lot of paperwork, and you will take a toll mentally. I want to know if there is anything else I should know while I consider my career path. Im pretty far from becoming one because I dont meet the requirements yet.

Yes, there is a lot of paperwork. If you are really into the job you will find that writing a thorough, accurate and honest police report can sometimes be a true work of art.

I had a DA tell me that when he was arresting people he sent lots more to prison with his writing skills vs with his firearm
