I want the power baby!!! YEAH! Gun too. LOL J/K.
Why do you want to become an officer? My reason was "as simple as it may sound" to give back something to the community. To be able to help those in need. And on and on.

Tell them that you like to drive fast, kick *** and play with guns.
just kidding.
I don't think anyone can help you with this one. Eveyone has their own reasons for wanting to do this kind of work. I'm sure you know why you want to do it too. You just need to think about how best to put it into words.How come your house has wheels and your car doesn't?

Why it's because of the uniform of course...
All the ladies, well you know the rest...
And of course the roar of the CVPIs on Cops is urging me quite a bit also...
How they make that quiet little buzzing sound, oh yah....

As I keep on saying, it beats working for a living.
A snout has told me he's got a set of nostrils, so go and get a W so we can spin his drum to see if he's got any monkey gear - The Sweeney.

I struggled with this one also....my answer was refined with the help of some academy mates.
I'd stay away from the "helping people" answer.
Leave the action stuff out (driving fast, thumping people, guns, sex, rock n' roll etc...).
