Last week we dove into life as a military mom and previous service member, and this week we are taking a closer look into what it's like to be a newly minted police officer. Joining me today is Koby, who gives a very real look into the various choices he made that led him to the police academy and starting his career in service to others, in a field that is seeing challenging moments right now. Koby gives a raw and unfiltered peek into the transition from graduating from college with a degree right into the academy, and the various skill sets he has learned along the way. He also stresses the importance of doing multiple things before diving into the academy (also - major hint: do LOTS of cardio!) and getting to know yourself as best you can before making that decision. In my favorite part of the conversation, we tap into the fact that police officers are humans, just like all of us, and the work they are doing is human-to-human. Interestingly enough, 90% of the job is talking to people. Being a police officer actually comes with not only a lot of choices for a career path within the force, but with a lot of humanity and recognizing yourself and how you want to serve. Tune in for an informative and authentic conversation and let us know what you think!
