Police officers are true protectors of a community. They spend their lives serving and protecting humanity. That is why I want to be a police officer to spend all my life protecting people and serving humanity, to protect good from evil, to protect people who are in need, and make sure everyone is safe and following the rules and laws of our country, Canada.

Since I was a kid, whenever I saw a police officer in uniform I watched him until he disappeared from my eyes. And I wanted to be a good, brave, and honest police officer. Sometimes I imagine that I am wearing the uniform and I am a police officer and I am on duty. That’s the most amazing feeling I cannot describe that. Hopefully I will achieve my goals and become a good police officer. And I am sure if I work hard towards it, I will.

I have looked at different kinds of websites for different types of police careers. I love them all. Their duties are different, but their main goals are the same: to serve our country in many ways and protect our people-they are all our heroes. And I love them all. I want to be an auxiliary police officer. I will have to work very hard to protect our local communities, cities, our people, and to serve our country with pride.

In the coming 25 years, I want to become a really successful police officer. I want to have accumulated a body of good service; Honestly, I would love to achieve awards, and medals in recognition of bravery from my department, and country. I want to serve my country with pride in a perfect way.

If I had been in Canada while I was a teenager I would have become a police officer by now. There are a lot of good opportunities for education, and making a good career for yourself in Canada. But I am glad that I am here now and I am sure that if I try hard I will achieve my goal in a few years.

Being a police officer is a really tough job and has lots of responsibilities in Canada, and I am sure in every country. But its way harder in Afghanistan because they don't get proper training, and they don't have the proper equipment. It's a dangerous job and nobody cares about a police officer's family.

I am really sad for saying this, but this is the reality. Afghanistan is a really poor country because of the past 45 years of war. Most of the people are not educated there which makes living harder. Nobody respects the police officers, and nobody cooperates with them or helps them. They don’t get paid regularly, sometimes not for months. Sometimes they don't have food for a long time while they are working. But they still do a wonderful job. With all the difficulties and challenges they still sacrifice their lives to protect the people. I love them for their bravery, dedication, and strength.

Hopefully, one day there will be complete peace in Afghanistan and for all countries that need it.
