@Sep, y'know, I have really mixed feelings towards the police force. The only time I ever contacted the police for help, they told me I had no rights on account of being a minor. Assholes. I still remember the guy who said it. Anyhow, the experience has simultaneously obliterated my scant respect for the local police and made me flip-flop on whether I should join the police.
EDIT: God knows they're probably not of much use to anyone else in a position resembling what my own had been.
EDIT 2: This of course has nothing to do with whatever force you're training to join.
