My career will be in Law Enforcement,, so while conducting my informational interview, I chose my sister, Carol Paige. She was a perfect candidate for this interview because she is a police officer for the metropolitan police Department. It is her first year and she said that being a Police officer carries a great deal of responsibility on and off duty. she carrying a firearm almost all the time because it her responsibility to protect herself . We live in a time where the majority of the people in this society do not like anyone who holds a position of authority and police officers are at the top of that list. Being that an officer has great dealings with the public, an officer would really have to maintain their composure and stay level headed, and to be fair according to the law, especially when dealing with a person who is behaving in an angry manner or when assisting during a horrible event such as an accident, especially when it involves families, friends and children.
The stress can take its course on a person after years go by. This is why someone would have to know that this is what they want to do for their career. It is also highly recommended to be a part of some organization, volunteer group, or even begin a hobby to get away from what officers are constantly exposed to everyday. During the first year that my sister served, there were some difficult times and hard choices that had to be made; after all, Police officers have a great deal of discretion while working out in the field. Any profession anyone chooses will have its challenging times because that is just life. However, it is entrusted in the officer to make the right choice according to the law to properly serve the public and its needs.
What I've learned about this career is that although it is a job that contributes in many different ways to the public, it can also be very dangerous and very stressful.
