Hello from MI

[Kolt-46]

Let me start by saying thank you to all that serve our country and our fellow men.

My name is Shaun and I'm a Wayne State graduate trying to get started in law enforcement. I've always been driven to help others but have been searching for the best way for me to do that. I thought about the service but my fiancee just isn't comfortable with me being overseas for months at a time.

After graduating I took my MCOLES tests and applied to a local department. I placed high on their list and am waiting for a phone call. A couple of months ago I met an RP member (Chewy) and he got me thinking about the idea of CBP. After some investigation, I decided to apply. I feel that CBP will give me the opportunity to serve not just a city, but my country (which is what I've always wanted to do) without having to leave my fiancee to go overseas. I'm scheduled to take the Logic/ALT test at the beginning of next month.

I would love any input that you have and look forward to someday being able to offer perspective to other future LEO's.

Again, I would truly appreciate any insight in regards to the CBP testing/hiring process, CBP Academy, and the day-to-day of a CBP Officer.

Thanks,

Shaun

Welcome to RP from a fellow Michigander. You have my sympathies for having the first CBP officer and member of RP you met being chewy.:D:D:D










j/k chewy is actually a great guy - he's just frustrated like most CBP employees.

That's why I'm trying to get as many more hired as possible... my goal is to have so many officers on shift that they won't have any choice but to MAKE people go out and do enforcement :D

Did you see tonights show? I like the part with Nicole and the drunk... that's the real detroit except without the show there no one would have come down and we would have poured her back into the car and let her drive away with her .21BAC. All in all our Detroit Officers didn't look like idiots as I feared... Of course we didn't do anything remotely exciting either but hey, it's Detroit after all! I'm TiVo-ing them and saving them on my computer to show my parents... it'll be worse than sitting through four hours of slideshows from vacation :D
