Hello everyone, my name is Myles, I have always wanted to have a career in Law Enforcement, but have only begun thinking about it seriously for about three years now. My Grandfather is my inspiration to be an officer. He is a retired Sheriff's Deputy, and at one point was the Sheriff of Clark County in Nevada, and a retired Bailiff from the Clark County Court System. I look forward to gaining some knowledge on what it means to be a Police Officer and what I can do to prepare to become one. I also hope to make some friends here on the forum. Have a great day everyone!

Thank you for the welcomes everyone, as for mcsap's question, I do not think any of my friend's would or could do something to hamper me in anyway. I do not have many close friends to begin with, but of the ones I do have two are in the military, USAF and USMC one is a Corporal the other is an Airman First Class, another is a father of two and works a 16 hour shift job and is a very law abiding citizen in my opinion, and my last friend is a student at Saint Andrews Presbyterian College, he tutors other students and runs produce with his father.
