iMac Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Well worked EMS as an EMT for 5 years and in school to make the switch over to Policing. It seems most of the officers we have here came originally as medics at some point and for reason that are personal, made the switch.I refuse to think I am the only one. What has caused you to consider it or even think about making the switch? would you ever consider making the switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 In this day and age I would not consider becoming a police officer. Dealing with all the crap they deal with on a daily basis is not my cup of tea. Besides, I don’t have the right personality to be a cop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenac Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 So you have gone over the edge? Hope you the best. I do not ever see myself going into law enforcement. But just like EMS is not for all neither is LE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmesleep Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm in the same boat with the others as far as not making the switch. I can't say that I will always work in EMS, but in some type of medicine. I enjoy the science way to much to leave. I too don't have the personality to be a "copper", and in this area the police don't seem to make any thing comparable to what medics make. With that said, I wish you all the best in your endeavor, and I say you should do what makes you happy! Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x3400 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I have been in EMS a long time and still enjoy it everyday, it keeps my interest up and going plan to stay on the job for quite a few more years. I can only hope that new people find it as interesting and keeps their interest peaked also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
