"I grew up with a father in law enforcement and it was a career path that I always knew would be mine one day. Growing up, I loved to see the pride in my dad's eyes when he came home after a shift. I heard stories of him helping people and taking steps to make our community safer. I want to do the same."

I am choosing law enforcement because I want to keep people safe and help those who can't help themselves. I want to make a difference wherever I go and help whoever I come in contact with that needs a change.
Rachelle's Feedback
Your approach shows genuine passion and interest! When it comes to helping others, are there any specific groups or demographics that you feel a particular pull toward (ie: rehabilitating women)? Try taking your response and making it even more targeted/specific as it relates to the job at hand.
