I'm also taking the police exam soon... Best wishes to you. My daughter is a police officer, btw, and she tells me that not even half of what really goes on makes it out to the press. Which is probably a good idea...but in any case, there's never a dull moment.
Stay safe!

Thanks! Yeah I've read up on what many officers go through, and while the vast majority never have to fire their weapon, it's almost worse to come to the scene of a mother murdered in front of her children, or even an accident involving a family than to shoot a perp.
I am sensitive and empathic but I am also aware of the evil and suffering in the world. I imagine I will not shy away from it in the line of duty.
