I look for officers who are strong in character – we can teach the skills necessary to do the job but it’s more challenging to find those who are there for the right reasons.

If you are planning on entering the field of law enforcement, be sure you understand that you WILL be held to a higher standard. This is not unjust, but a necessary fact. Those who are chosen to uphold the constitution and must do so with responsibility and that means they must live their lives as an example

The best police officers I know (no matter what their physical stature) have one common trait: their ability to communicate with others. Personally, I do not have the physical stature to dominate those with whom I come in contact, so I have had to develop excellent communication skills that help me talk people into handcuffs.
