Joining the police force

[Sunflogun]

What is the main motivation to become a police officer? Do you think it's a call to serve our country in the civil society, or is it just a job opportunity that presents? I feel that police officers do need to have a calling, at the same time training is equally important.

I suspect that some people join because they want to make a positive difference to society. Others might just fancy a uniform and an air of authority. It's also a fairly secure job so I can certainly see why people would be attracted to the force. I wouldn't do it myself though!
