Police officer?

Question

im only 5'5 and 125lbs.. i have always been interested in law enforcement.. but most of the time i think to myself that it would be hard for me to join in or be good with my height and weight.. i mean, a 6-6 or 6'0, would try to resist every time due to the fact that they may see me as a whimp.. are there any other branches.. should i realize my dream or let it go..

most cops are tall ..

Answer 1

Never give up on a dream!

There are no limits and if you study hard and give all you have you can make it.  go for it !

Answer 2

lots of smaller cops. There is always someone bigger, that's what radios are for.

Answer 3

As far as working the streets, let it go; you would be a constant threat to yourself and your partners.  There are many other types of law enforcement you can go into that are rewarding and are more suited to your stature.

Answer 4

Your size doesn't matter. You will be trained on how to deal with things in the academy. You can always lift weights to get stronger and that will help you on the street. The people who resist officers are going to resist regardless of the officer's size. I am in pretty good shape an dI have had people bigger and smaller than me try to resist an arrest.

If this is your dream-GO For IT
