About my future career Police officers work at a police station which are in town’s and cities. Work inside and outside depending on where the accident's or crime are. The salary range is between $40, 000 and $94, 000. Work shifts are 8 hours a day = 40 Hours per weeks and there is a lot of overtime because of low amount of officers.

My compatibility I am 97% compatible with this job. The skills this job requires are: Communication. Good judgement. Physical stamina.

A Police officer would be great for me because… • I already have these skills for this career. • Communication skills • People skills. • Good judgement.

These are skills for the job I still need to learn: I am not quite ready for this career, but I will get there! Clear speech. Physical stamina/strength. Drive. Shooting. This is how I will get those necessary skills: Slow down my talking. Work out at gym, walks and run. Take driving lessons. Practice at a range.

In BC, the job outlook is 3 of 3 stars. Job Outlook Here are 2 reasons why: More people coming to B. C. , so the government needs more law enforcement. This job can’t be replaced by automation.

My job has a 9. 8% chance of becoming automated • I think the police officer job will not become automated because • People want to talk to humans when dealing with a crisis. • Humans can make a humane choice.

Safety in the Workplace In this career, I need to: • Wear safety and protective gear when out on patrol. • Keep control of my firearm. • Pay attention and be aware to what is going on around me and my surroundings. • Be cautious of the people I am going to talk to.

This is what appeals to me with this career… • I want to help people and I do not like it when people do not follow the laws. • I also want to protect the innocent from people who want to harm them.

These are some things I find less appealing about this career… • The paperwork will be exhausting because there will be a lot of it for every incident or arrest. • Police have to deal with the worst of humanity. • Some of the accidents or crime scenes ain’t gonna be pretty! • This may cause mental stress and depression.
