I know there is a million posts on these subjects and I think that I have read them all: however my story is quite different than any of the others that have posted.
I am a 6 foot tall 215 pound 20 yo male, I turn 21 in 4 months and determined to become a LEO. I am a Firefighter and EMT with several other state certifications. I have been in Fire Rescue for 3 years now. I live in Michigan so the Fire Department jobs are scarce and I am looking for LE as a career as opposed to Fire-Rescue. Don't misunderstand me I love Fire and Rescue with all of my heart and will always be involved in it, but I would rather go to work everyday as a police officer. I have a spotless record, I have never experiemented with drugs, never stole, fought, etc. I have only been pulled over once and I didn't recieve a ticket because I was a firefighter(THANK YOU LENAWEE COUNTY SHERIFF FOR THE P.C.)
I have always wanted to be in emergency services since I was little, my mother was an RN for one of the top hospitals in the nation so I was brought up knowing, thanks to her that if I ever got into trouble i.e. drugs, gangs, fights, I would never become Fire, EMS, LE, so I have always been a model citizen(not a saint, but good enough for our society). I moved out on my own when I was 19, married at 20 and my 1st aniversery is in July. I have never went without a job since I have been 12 yo. I currently work 3.
Only black spot I can think of is I was terminated from my previous to current job. I didn't do anything bad just made a mistake that they wouldn't overlook, before that I had the same job 3 years before I moved on. So I have been working as a security guard for the last year, the last 6 months being the supervisor.
Brutal truth what are my chances. I start EMT Specialist school in September and then I am applying to college for my AAS in Criminal Justice. I looked into the MSP but #1 I don't think that they are going to hire anytime soon. #2 My wife and I like where we live and want to stay in the general vicinity within probably 50 miles or so, moving away is not an option.
