Hello there - my name is Scott. I am from the Dallas, TX area. I am 18 years old, and currently finishing my senior year of high school. Next year, I will begin college, most likely at the University of Oklahoma...however I haven't officially decided on the university I will attend yet. I plan to pursue a Bachelor's degree in either Criminology or International Security. (I will most likely major in one and minor in the other.)
I have been interested in law enforcement for as long as I can remember - one of those childhood "cops & robbers" attractions turned into a real career interest it seems. After college, I plan to start the hiring process with LE agencies in the DFW area.
Currently, I have some interest in federal law enforcement. Regardless, I intend to start my career at a local police department, so that I can gain experience, as well as have a point of comparison if I do end up going federal.
Sorry for posting on another thread before I wrote this - I wasn't aware of how things are done around here.
Stay safe.
- Scott

G'day & Welcome from Australia

Welcome and Boomer Sooner!
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions" -Ronald Reagan
