What made you go into law enforcement?

My family is all cops, so it was very easy for me growing up to know what my life would be like. I enjoy it and I've found a family in this field, so I think I made the right choice!

I have always had a passion for justice and helping people, so law enforcement was an obvious choice for me as a career. I'm very lucky to be able to use my skills and knowledge to make a positive difference in our community.

The prospect of working hands-on with diverse groups of people every day in order to keep our city safe. It's been an incredible journey so far and I'm looking forward to what else is in store!

To me it was the promise of promoting public safety, preventing crime, enforcing laws and regulations, to protecting the rights of citizens - there's nothing more rewarding than knowing that I'm making a real impact on the world around me.

I was forced into it by my family. It was either joining the force or being kicked out.

Not the pay I can tell you that much HA!

I like knowing that my work is protecting the community. I know a lot of us get a bad rep but I like to think that I can help change the perception that people have about cops

it's what all my buddies were doing at the time, I figured I'd stick around with them
