• I want to either become a firefighter or a police officer, a career where people would respect me. I wouldn't mind risking my life to save another's. What's required in the state of michigan to become either a firefighter or a cop.

• Answer:

  Next time you are out in your community. If you want to become a police officer. Go to your local neighborhood crime watch meetings. Often the police department will send out 1 or 2 police officers to crime watch meeting to discuss things with neighborhood crime watch group. If you do not have a neighborhood crime watch meeting. The other suggestion is go to to your guidance's counselors office and speak with your guidance councilor about your future goals. Tell them you are interested in knowing more about careers in law enforcement and the fire department. Can you help me arrange a meeting with a local town employee who works in both of these fields. I would appreciate it if you could. IF you get that opportunity to interview or ask questions about their careers. Before your meeting with one of them fire or police. Write down all your questions on paper. That way you won't feel so nervous, and it will show you are serious. It would be a waste of their time if they went out of their busy schedule to have someone who doesn't know what they want to ask. They might even take you on a tour of their police or fire station they work at. ALWAYS... thank the person for their time!
