So I landed an internship with the Charlotte Meck Police department as well as the sherrifs department here in Charlotte, NC.


I was planning on moving to California one day and working there but I am considering in working in Charlotte for maybe 3-5 years (maybe trying out SWAT while im at it) and then moving to California to better my chances in getting in and also giving me a strong resume. After my time here I wanted to move out to California and and apply into the lateral program there to become an officer there. Does anyone object to this idea?

I don't think anyone would object. You gotta take what opportunity presents itself and you might work in NC for a while and dcide you want to stay your entire career. Do it bro!

I agree with Slim. Take advantage of what opportunities you can. Take whatever job you can get. Keep it until you get an offer for what you think might be a better one.

Do it! Good luck!

I WOULDN'T MOVE TO CA UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAVE A JOB OR ENOUGH MONEY TO LAST YOU AT LEAST A YEAR.
