The guest speaker that had me interested was a street-policemen from Daly City, that 

had a lot of first hand of experience of dealing with criminals on the streets such as thugs, 

gang members and a lot of shootouts and arresting them. There was a story that he told us 

about a bouncer from San Francisco that lived in Oakland and he was about 6'5 and he hit 

his girlfriend which was only about 5 ft tall. He got the call and drove over there and dealt 

with the situation and said that he had to take him to jail, luck fully the guy agreed to go 

with him. Otherwise, he would of had to call for back-up but the guy was nice and agreed

to go with him to the station. The requirements for this job include having training or state 

training and passing a background check which was like most of the other jobs but not to 

exclusive such as the FBI agent position where they had files that nobody ever knew about 

and u had to pass a long lie-detector test that would last around 7-8 hrs. For me that 

sounded like to much commitment so I decided that i might pursue just to be a regular 

street officer that worked with and in all the action. The only thing that gets me stuck on 

what position in Law enforcement in passing the background checks. I'm not sure they 

would even review my file because of the thing i did that might stay with me forever.
