Enlighten me.

First of all the initial screening requirements just to enter the academy (from my experience) is a lot more difficult than just filling out a job application.  Next, just because a candidate graduates from the academy their training (as well as probation period) is not over.  Even after the probation period is over there is quarterly and annual training/testing that must be satisfactory completed in order to remain employed.

Quite frankly police officers are typically WAY underpaid for what they have to do.  That's why you see so many of them "moonlight" as security for various establishments.

I became a Deputy Sheriff because I thought it would be a good rewarding job, and in some aspects that certainly was the case.  However after 3 years of doing it I decided that it wasn't something that I wanted to do as a career.
