Ok, ever since I was very young I wanted to become a cop. The only problem was, in my neighborhood it wasn't the most popular career choice. I soon lost interest in the police and started to look up to the older dealers and gangmembers in my area. One thing led to another and by the time I turned 13 I ended up apart of Rollin 20s NHB. For those that don't know, that means I was a Blood gangmember. Soon I was selling drugs and had many run ins with the local police but one way or another never got arrested. I soon got expelled from school for being apart of a gang brawl and having other suspensions on my record. By then I had felt pretty low, seeing what was going on around me and what I was apart of disgusted me. I still felt the feelings I would get when I was younger with the police lights and sirens flashing by me, and I knew deep down thats what I wanted to be apart of. My mom managed to move me out of the city into the suburbs and a new school where I'm currently enrolled with a 3.2 GPA playing football. It's only been less than a year but I'm really enjoying it and have now come to terms with what I want to do with my life. I want to become a police officer.
I'm 17 going on 18 in my senior year right now and I've got my whole life ahead of me, but I worried my past is going to restrain my options. I'm sure I'm still on the cities Gang List, even though I haven't been active in quite a while and have cut ties with almost everyone from my past. Take into account this is the eastcoast, not the westcoast so hopefully the gang threat isn't taken as seriously over here as it is over there. Regardless, I want this more than anything else in the world. I just don't know where to start, and with my past what I'm going to have to worry about. Someone please help me to know what I have to look forward to in trying to become a LEO.
Much appreciated.
