Introduction

Hello, my name is David and I'm on the path to becoming a police officer. I am in school for criminal justice, and keeping an eye out for departments in my area that are hiring recruits. I haven't gone through the police academy so I'm looking for cities that train their own. I applied for a Dayton, OH recruit position and I'm looking forward to taking their test next month. I've browsed around the forums before and I love the information you guys give.

I'm new to this because being a police officer wasn't my plan until about 6 months ago. I wasted a lot of time going to school to be an X-ray tech and I realized I didn't want to be in a hospital all day. I needed something more exciting.

About 6 months ago someone I care about was raped. This made me look at what I was doing and I decided the medical field wasn't for me, I'd rather be out there protecting and helping people a different way. Now the only career I can imagine myself doing is being a police officer and I won't stop until I'm there. I know I have a lot to learn so I hope I can come to you guys for advice and tips along the way
