Background Help!!!

Rat?? I think not Batman,  I have been a cop for 4 years and have been in law school for 2.5 years.  I know the law and I know that this incident was minor and stupid.  If it was anything, it would have turned into a conviction which it did not.  I have researched it, I just wanted to see what others thought.

I have a quick question(s) for you; why are you going into law enforcement with a law degree? How did you go to law school while being a cop? Did you do a part time program? I am interested in becoming an attorney but I don't see how I can do it while I am a deputy. I have been accepted to law school but I am putting it off so that I may receive "in the field" training, after all, I can be a lawyer at any age.

you work the midnight watch and go to school in the day or your work the day watch and go to school at night.  In my case, I did the former.  took almost five years and a lot of gray hair.

bear,
why are you surprised about an atty going into LE?  I'm an atty and one of the reasons I went this route was to get into the FBI.  I know of several attys who are now detectives, etc.  My family, too, was surprised at my choice to go into LE - but they were more concerned with the "social status" angle.  I wonder, am I in the minority in thinking it's no big deal to switch from law practice to LE?
