In what ways could I better prepare for law enforcement or fire academy?

I am preparing to go into both police and fire academy (one after the other). I have a degree in Criminology and have taken fire science courses at my college. I attend a weekly workout program through a local agency. Do you have any other suggestions on ways to prepare or different subjects to look into? Former fire instructors said fire science would be good in law enforcement to be better prepared at a fire scene if the situation arose. Is there any other advice you have to be better prepared? Not only for the academy, but for the career as well. #firefighting #career #law-enforcement #police #fire-academy #police-academy #academy #advice

How do you handle conflict surrounding the job?

I am in the application process for a couple of different law enforcement agencies. I still live at home and have family members who are current or retired law enforcement. I have tried being open about the process and how it will work after I graduate from academy, but there is no way I'm changing their mind on not liking the idea (which I completely understand, as a good parent will always worry). Do you have advice on dealing with this conflict when it occurs? Or even on the job, how do you deal with conflict at home? #criminal-justice #law-enforcement #police #conflict #law #police-academy #advice

What does an aspiring cop have to look forward to in the coming years?

With public relations and police seemingly at odds, what does someone aspiring to join the force have to look forward to? It seems like the swinging pendulum is going fast and faster between liking the police and hating them. The pendulum swing is normal over time, but due to the 24-hour news cycle, it seems to be growing exponentially faster. So my question essentially is: What does the next generation of cops-to-be have to look forward to? Will we continue to militarize our police, or will be swing the opposite way and trend towards community policing? When will the anti-cop pendulum swing back towards the positive? #police #law-enforcement #criminal-justice

As a criminal profiler, do you get fulfillment and joy from your job?

I am interested in pursuing a career in criminal profiling, however I know the burnout rates in a job such as this could be high. I have spent a lot of time researching this profession, but I wasn't able to find many answers about the emotional aspect of it. And the little exposure I have had through the media does not go into detail regarding the emotional impact of this profession. I want to know if this job is worth pursuing or is the emotional toll attached to it too great? #criminalprofiling #burnout #criminal-justice #criminology #law-enforcement
