G'day and welcome to RP mate.

thanks :D and yup I will surely make any information I get count
planning to be an officer one day, just need to get the ball rolling with college, and ride alongs in my neighborhood
took me 2 months to make a decision and I think I am ready to take the plunge, but before I actually decide I will take a few ride alongs see how things go, but I am pretty sure I am gonna go for it :]
Brandon, welcome to RealPolice! I am not sure if you have looked at the California Law Enforcement job market but it is competitive. After talking with serveral Officers, many of whom were in the brass of the department, I knew it would be un-realistic to attended the academy at 20 and expect to be hired at 21 or 22. I decided to join the Navy and I continue down that path rather than Law Enforcement due to the economy and other factors.
For the short term finding a Explorer Post or College Police Department Cadet program to join; in the long term you may want to consider the military.

yeah I hear that militarys a good start, but I don't know if military is in my interest at the time with my family situations
right now i'm just gonna start college and do ride alongs, and grab a job while I can and when i'm out of college i'll join an academy and have work a side job, and keep trying for a police job during that time
right now militarys just not an option =/
I've heard military jobs are stocked up right now too
Welcome Brandon. You will get a lot of insight into what police officers go through on the RP format. Some of it funny, some sad, and some really ridiculous. Enjoy
Welcome! Just remember the majority of California's citizens that marijuana is not a drug is not shared by the LE community. Stay away from it if you want a LEO job and you will be fine.
