Best Route to Become a Correctional Officer or Sheriff

As my senior year in high school is coming to an end, I have decided that I want to graduate early and get started on my college basic classes (general classes like math, English, electives, etc..) I have decided that I would like to go to Csun and major into Criminology and Justice but sadly I do not have an older sibling role model who has gone to college or university because I am a first gen student. Am I in the right pathway or is there something else that I can do in order to put my name out there and get hired as soon as possible. thank you in advance. #police #police-officer #law-enforcement #california #lasd #csun

Starting a career in law enforcement as a certified security guard?

If i obtain my state's required guard card, and gain some work experience, would it be realistic to become a law enforcement officer? Possibly a City patrol officer or even a deputy sheriff with the right experience? Possibly even become a corrections officer or other federal position such as border patrol?

Police or Doctor? How about both?

I'm taking forensic science on Tigerwoods. There's a lot going on my mind right now. Should I be a doctor or police? Is there anything such as both? I want to be a police who would risk her life on anything, investigate the crime scene, analyzing fingerprints, know how to use gun etc. at the same time I want to be doctor which is a pediatrician where I could help kids. I was thinking about being a police first then doctor but is that possible? I want to be walking in my police uniform with a badge on my uniform and at the same time I want to wear my doctor's uniform. Im kinda confuse at myself right now. ,Could you help me? P.S I dont want to be a lawyer and I love computers. #medicine #police #law-enforcement #forensic-science

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

How long should you being involved in the law enforcement before trying to promote to a K9 Officer or Criminal Investigator?

As a college student, I'm now working harder to get involved with the police department. Within the past few years, two of my options/passions were to become a K9 Officer or Criminal Investigator. However, I'm not sure how long something like that would take. What is an estimate?
