Anyone a Police officer or working in Security?
15 years ago
Just asking because Im sure I know a few of you who have been in service. Im looking at the moment to go into a course in maybe criminology & forensics / security & policing. At the moment the aim I would say is to become a "special constable" in the UK police.
I just think it appeals to me because I can sit around, Im patient but don't look to press for trouble, don't mind odd hours and like a job where I can see a difference happening rather than working within a company in a cubicle printing forms and stuff.
But yeah the questions, if anyone does have experience.
What are the downfalls to the job and disadvantages? (mainly meaning small ones that a google search for "disadvantages of Job Y and X" may miss out )
I hear there's paperwork, allot in UK police, just about how much IS there and how much of my time would be spent handling it?
And no, this is nothing to do with Mass Effect before anyone asks, I've been looking at what I do best and this job is one I wouldn't mind (from what I've "heard" of the inner workings of it so far) and it seems to fit.
I know some of you who know me will know that I complain about how stupid people are sometimes, I think I could handle the stupidity of the public in general too. What is it people call that, the "asshole factor"?

I think the biggest consequence WOULD be if youre disallowed to have something to entertain yourself, here I'm allowed to use my own laptop as long as I have everything under control.
Not sure what to say, as long as you are always ready for anything, and can deal with boredom well, and can make a good living at it, all the power to you! :3
