I'm not worried about how I'm gonna answer. I know why I want to join the brotherhood. Just wondering if there is something that most people think is OK to answer with, but works against you.
Maybe something like "I want to help people." All LEO's want to help people, so the answer becomes a bit generic. It's a given.
Is there a common answer people use that doesn't help their hiring cause?
Thanks,
Hamstring

Yeah, some say because I want to carry a gun.
You know the difference between a job and a duty? A job you can refuse to do because it's dangerous; a duty you must do even if it is dangerous.

I wanted to become the first kid on my block to have premature balding, a ruined marriage, bad knees, an ulcer, and be spat upon by the scum of the planet.
