POLICE OFFICER

One night Shane had a dream that a seasoned detective of our acquaintance was sitting on his pillow (yeah, weird) and talking to him about how the force needed him and he would do well at it. Later that week the same person came to us at a church function and talked to him about it (yeah, weird). Ever since then he has done ride-a-longs and research and has decided that he would LOVE it.

He is interviewing right now and doing amazing at it. He is very genuine, charismatic, and honest which have led to positive feedback during the process. Not to mention, he has not done anything deceptive or wrong in his entire life. He is one of the few people that actually do not have any skeletons in his closet.

He is constantly working to make his body and mind stronger to help him be better in the position. He takes tests online of police related material, researches the agencies, works on spelling and grammar (in which he lacks sorely).

I am very proud and supportive of his decision. Do I want him going into this line of work? Yes and No. There are of course many dangers with this position. It also puts him in an environment everyday with the sick of the world. I am thrilled that he has found a career, other than flying, that he finds a passion and sees himself being part of forever. We will see where the interviews lead but we are excited.
