I remember that the people we serve are counting on us daily to help keep them safe.

I feel a sense of pride and satisfaction in being able to serve my community as a police officer every day. That drives me every day

Many things motivate me, from the satisfaction of providing service to those in need, to the chance to help create a safer and more just world

I'm motivated to leave my house each morning by the sense of purpose and service that comes with the job. I take pride in knowing that I can help keep my community safe and secure. It's incredibly rewarding to be able to assist people in their time of need and provide them with a sense of comfort and stability.

I get up every morning to serve on the police force because I'm passionate about making a positive difference in our community

A paycheck. It's not the answer I'm supposed to give, but it's the truth.

Hi fishes, My timings are from 12 to 9 and HR is asking us to come thrice a week and also spend more than 4 to 5 hrs in office and then go home and continue from there. This will create a huge problem if they start calling daily. Anyone else facing this issue? Can anything be done for this? Since i have joined this organization everything seems weird here.

I cleared technical round and during final call with HR, my salary expectations were higher as per HR.
