What are some extra activities I could look into to help with being accepted into the Police force?

have had a keen interest for years* - Sorry, it is late here.

Thanks for that, great info :)

1. Any kind of community service.

2. First-responder skills, like CPR, EMT training, etc.

3. Something that pertains to the particular kind of police work you are ultimately most interested in; for example, crime scene forensics, cybercrime, canine force, undercover work, community relations, etc.

I’m going to look into more community type stuff. But I live in an area where helpers aren’t really needed. We don’t have homeless shelters or anything where they could use my help. I’ve done first aid training which is good, but I think I’ll take it a bit further. I want to be a bike cop so I’m saving up money to get my bike license which is quite hard to get where I live lol. Thanks for the info!

No problem- good luck with it. Do you want to be a specialised officer in any area or just someone who is generally on the streets?

What kinds of things do you mean by “community type stuff”?

I’d like to be a bike cop, and one day I want to do youth aid but I’m not 100% sure about what I want to do from my 20s-30s ish when I will be my fittest. Lol

Any honorary post in service of your town or community will help. Anything where you deal with people. Even if you just read the newspaper to a blind, senile grandpa in an old people’s home. Or if you join any youth organization that does good things, girl-scouts or similar and be a group leader in their holiday camp.
