Be supportive.
The last thing she needs is to have a family member freaking out about it.
I had to put up with that for years, and it wears on you. |

The best thing to do is support her, of course. At the same time find all the information you can about officer's day on the job. Let her talk to some police officers. After all that if she still whats to do it, let her. If not, you and her will not get along and she'll do it anyways. |

OK it is a job and a job that she can serve with honor. You should support her with her choice. It is only dangerous if she receives poor training which is probably not going to happen. Look at your alternatives, she could be knocked up pregnant with some crack head dude and living on welfare in your guest room like a lot of kids today. Get your priorities straight, just because you wouldn't do it and none of your relatives have never done it does not mean she can't have a desire to be a police officer. Get her some support and you might be surprised and what a great job she can do. Woman can do any job they want to today, give her the opportunity to do it without any head trips from you and the rest of the family. |

Just let her be happy and do what she want because she might hold it against you. Just be there for her, support her, and tell her how proud you are. I wanted to join the Marines but my parent didn't let me.....i still hold it against them because that is what i wanted to do but now i cant. |

You should be proud of your daughter for wanting to do a dangerous job to protect the public. There comes a time when parents must treat their adult children as just that -- adults. This is her choice. Support her in it. |

Support her, the police academy is the best, and she will meet great hero's that will always protect her. No danger, any branch of the state or federal will be protected, unless they are corrupted. Keep her clean handed and everything will be all right....Congrats, and GOOD LUCK on your daughter future. Support her and inform her that the police need CSI, and science researcher more than ever, and its a safe job in the labs and crime scenes. Watch the series CSI, its righteous how they bust criminals . |

you can always recommend being a correctional officer to her it's a little better paying than police and you stay inside watching inmates at the prison. it's a state job so you get great benefits. |

I can answer your question by talking about my cousin. To his horror, his daughter wanted to be a police officer--from the time she was a little kid. As a teen, she joined the Vancouver Police Reserve, and did ride-alongs and that sort of thing. She applied to be a full-time constable as soon as she was old enough, but she was turned down because she did not have enough experience--in life or in the job.
She joined the Canadian Armed Forces to be a Military Police officer, did basic training in Nova Scotia, trade qualification in Ontario, then she was posted to CFB Comox on Vancouver Island for the rest of her enlistment period.
As soon as she got out, she applied to Vancouver again, and got offers from every last police department in the Vancouver area, as well as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
She turned them all down, and became a paralegal--in a law firm where she still works.
Let's say the worst befalls in your case, and she actually does become a police officer. She will be doing so because she wants to contribute to the society in which she lives, to make people's lives better.
If it is her passion, be proud of her for following her dream.
And remember the old saying:
SHIPS ARE SAFE IN HARBOUR, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT SHIPS ARE FOR. |

it is a dangerous job, but sometimes it is hard to find a job that's more rewarding. |

Let her try. Just be supportive. Many mothers have to go through this but you being negative will just hurt her feelings. You need to be supportive and let her live her own life!
She may try it and then quit anyway. Cops have to be very physically fit to get into academies nowadays. So if she isnt that strong and healthy she wont get in anyway. Or it may just be too hard for her to do and she would have at least tried. And it is better for her to try and quit then to have you say negative things. Just tell her to pay attention when they are training her and to be safe. |

Leave her alone!
She wants to serve our community and enforce laws.
Good for her!
She can start as peace officer and one day become a qualified counterintelligence white neck investigator, or maybe director of the Police Dept of your city. |

what's wrong with being a police officer? Yeah it's dangerous but so could walking across the street. Support your daughter in whatever she wants to do, sounds like she wants to help people. |

dont fight her on it. dont nag her about it. younger kids are generally more rebellious to the feelings that their paarents have about it. wait until a good time and just inform her about the job. the ups and downs. dont be biased to either side.... she'll figure out on her own if she truely does or doesn't want to be one. |

Good for her...
Law enforcement is a great field that requires a lot of smarts and responsibility...I'm going into the same thing and none of my relatives did, and I got all high grades in high school...A lot of smart people that you'd assume would go to college opt for a career in law enforcement or military because of all the challenges it offers, along with the rewards of making a difference in the community by protecting people that can't protect themselves...
If you're concerned about how dangerous it is, talk to her about opting for State Patrol if she has her heart set on law enforcement...There is a lot less danger because typically state patrol doesn't get all the jobs that sheriffs or local cops would get, such as dealing with domestic violence calls, inner city drug bust type situations, etc. State Patrol deals mostly with highway safety and traffic enforcement... |

Parent's will be parents. Main thing is to support her. My mother at times despies this and my father has expressed conerns but they each realize I have great training and take care of myself.
Your daughter is not going to be left to hang out and dry. She will get training and Officers watch out for each other like you would not believe. Ulitmately we only care about each of us making it home first at the end of the night. |

Yes, in the end it's her choice, just be supportive and tell her that your here for her !
Me, personally I want to become a police officer after high school, and yes it's a dangerous job, but I think I speak for every police officer out there when I say : We are here to serve and protect ! We are here to make a positive difference in people lives !
I'm sure she will do just fine, wish her all the best and love her for who she is !
Regards
Jordan JP (Soon to be police officer) |

You have to let go and encourage her to follow her dreams. It will be hard but it is her choice not yours. |

It is her choice. Regardless of how dangerous you think the job is, support her. She's just going to be upset with you otherwise. |

Ok, it's a dangerous job, but she must really want to do this. Do you really want to hold her back from something that means a lot to her and have her resent you for it? Please support her. |
