police officer as a career-why u need intergrity, honestly..

[joe45]

my folks tell me to try it out since we have a cousin who married a cop, and he said its good money, government job. i have a diploma in business and a certifcation in IT ,but never used in obtaining a career. i have tried but nothing. i couldn;t get a job in these fields

i like to hear your thoughts. would any of you guys do rcmp as a job or go into it. if so why or why not. i like to hear your reasons. be it too dangerous , not my thing, to i like to do it b/c its helpin the public, and good government job. would you do rcmp soley on the fact its a government job and the pay is very good 45k first yr and 80k after 3 yrs.

what it like being a rcmp. is it hard to get in. what do they look for.
is it like a slack job. do you just drive around a lot and go to tim hortons and hang out. is it very slow and u just watch dvd movie, and listen to ur ipod or is it a lot of work and fast pace and can be very dangerous work

would u see ur self doing rcmp or cop and would ur freinds see u doing it . why or why not

just like to hear some opinions and thoughts

how come the cop requirement theuy ask for someone of good character , hoenstly and intergrity. i mean what would a cop do thats legal, but of not good character or honestly and intergrity
what are some examples or u know of ppl -friends or even urself who have done stuff that was legal but wasn't very of good character, intergirty and honestly but htey still do it or done it.
have u had friends or ppl u now who are good ppl but they lack these qualites and what did htey do to show it to em
why would u hae to havfe it in order to be a cop

I'm from Ontario, and yes we have some crooked cops who abuse their power - although generally I find they are all good law-keeping people. Thank god for those who choose to serve the public as RCMP, OPP, Police, and other public service providers, like firefighters and EMTs.

I don't know how the cops are in Canada but down here in the states our cops keep it real:


Cop Shoots Unarmed Black Youth in Oakland

Yes they had this kid on his knees and shot him in the back. It was caught on cell phone video cams and the cop who did it is the first officer to be arrested for shooting someone while on duty.

Down here this is how honest our cops are especially when they get a man down on the ground:

I had no idea that honety and integrity were involved in the hiring of police officers.

Many of them are borderline psychopaths.

I have had several friends who were officers and one was using steroids because he was terrified of the streets in my little town of Sacramento California.

He eventually lost his job.

Maybe I need to move to Canada.

You would lie under oath to protect your fellow officers, right? That is what good character means.
