      We were required to take civics but I also spent 4 years of college working towards my degree and licensure as a police officer in my state.

      Got all the way to our version of the hands-on academy and decided policing wasn’t for me. Now I work in IT.

        Yeah, they’re not looking for people with this level of education. Like literally, I’m not being snarky, they actively weed out people like you.

          My state requires a college education to be a peace officer and I went to, at the time, the best school for law enforcement in the country.

          I actually changed my mind because the only part of the job that really interested me was investigations and I didn’t want to spend years doing the other bullshit just to get there.

        Chieffy is allowed onions, but he shouldn’t use his office to announce them (and here it is) unless called upon by legislature for advice.
