The police are the best place to start, now if the question between law enforcement and the armed forces is another matter, can you specify?

Law enforcement is a subject of vocation, you usually feel the call and that makes the choice easier for you, I recommend that you take a course in which you can see how things are in the different law enforcement agencies of the country, each one has introductory videos and courses that allow you to learn more about what each one does.

Well, basically there are two fields, as a prosecutor or as a police officer, right? If you have studied as a lawyer, you have the option of entering the prosecutor's office, if not, I recommend starting as a police officer. On the other side is the FBI, but that's a race as such

It may be the FBI, the study is more complex but the result is much better than being a police officer, with the respect I owe to the police, but as an FBI agent, you have more opportunities.

I recommend becoming a police officer, it is not easy to make that decision right now due to the negative way in which we are seen today, but being a police officer is being part of a huge family that cares for families.

Besides SALT, any other specialized areas I should try to get some experience in? Also open to any tips and tricks to help tailor my workflow and experiences for the months to come.
