How Beneficial Would It Be to Join the Army Knowing I Want to Be a COP.?
Question by alex: How beneficial would it be to join the army knowing i want to be a COP.?
So im 21 years old and i work full time and i take classes on criminal law. But i only take 1-2 classes every semester because my job limits my availability for school. On top of that.. I only took 1 class throughout my college career.. I just recently went back to school so thats why. Anyways my ultimate goal is join LAPD Gang unit division but i understand LAPD is very strict when it comes to the hiring process. Although i dont have a criminal record, i have a dirty past when it comes to stealing and drug abuse. I have never messed around with hard drugs but i do smoke weed on the daily. I have to stop..
So im sitting in my office with a dead-end job knowing im not getting any younger, enlisting in the Army as a Military Police as my MOS didnt seem to be a bad idea. I mean, why not? I get to travel, get PAID for wat im passionate for instead of working 5am-5pm M-Sat doing the same thing. I was researching a lot and ive read all the pros and cons and im definitely interested. I want to join the army as military police. But how much will this help me in becoming a Police Officer. Maybe start off with the lower dept such as Torrance PD or Pasadena PD and then transfer to LAPD?

Joining the Army would be a big help. Military experience can translate directly to law enforcement experience.
You will have to stop smoking pot. The Army will kick you out for that, as will any branch of the military.
