Josh's Bucket List by josh5451 josh5451

Law Enforcement

josh5451 — 2023-10-27 12:27:07 UTC

Growing up with family that operated a motel, contact with local authorities were bound to happen. Ever since I was a kid, I've been surrounded by row models, specifically law enforcement. When incidents were to occur, such as a disorderly person, or a noise disordinance, I would get the opportunity to see a police officer - even for a minuscule amount of time. With that being said, growing up with law enforcement in my childhood was normal. Something about the career stood out to me, in which made me want to dig deeper, learn more, and understand what they do. Day after day, I strived to learn more and participate in activities that had components of law or justice. Now, as I'm 17 years of age, I've spent majority of my life learning the occupation of a police officer in Canada. I've encouraged myself to study

ordinances, levels of justice, criminal law, but most importantly to me, traffic law.

Steps To Achievement

A career in law enforcement is filled with stress, physical tension, and being vigilant. Policing brings many steps for one to achieve success. Here is my plan moving forward from post-secondary school to pursue law enforcement.

Participating in municipal and/or business enforcement jobs, such as security, community patrol, by-law, or even an auxiliary program.

Secondly, I plan on enrolling into law courses. These courses would help me advance my understanding of municipal, provincial, and federal levels of government, and dig deeper into rights & freedoms in Canada.
Moreover, I plan on travelling around provinces & municipalities to see different procedural operations of policing. In addition, getting contacts with commissioned police officers.
Lastly, I plan on getting to the best physical & mental state, as it will be required all throughout trainings and during the start of my career. For policing, I'll need to work on physical strength, core strength, most importantly, my cardio.

Giving Back

My goal throughout my life is to give back to my community. I would like to help someone, whether it being a small act of kindness or a life changing event. There are many ways to give back, such as giving food and water to the homeless, donating funds to a charity, volunteering at a business, or even helping an elderly cross a crosswalk. No matter what it may be, my strive is to thank the people who were there for me at my lowest of times, the people who helped me when I couldn't help myself, the people who took time out of their day to make sure I was okay.

Steps To Achievement

There is no right or wrong way of giving back, the thought of helping someone in the slightest is the element that counts. For me, I plan on doing the following.

Earning a reasonable amount of money and donate to a charity.

Start a small operation, in which I will supply people in need with food, water, daily essential needs, and shelter.

Volunteer for a business.

Meaningful Purchase

Making a first purchase isn't an easy task. There are many things to consider while doing so. The pros, the cons. Here are my steps on how I will be able to purchase my first vehicle.

Have earned enough financially to support my vehicle of choice.
Continue to be stable in finance to aid my vehicle (i.e. Good credit score, good insurance, clear driving record, etc.)
Be clear of my options. Looks can be deceiving.
Ask for the support of my family to figure out a sustainable vehicle for current and long-term.
