[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I’m going to give a genuinely helpful answer

This all depends on what age the child is

I would be perfectly comfortable if my kid wanted to go into law enforcement

If they’re like, 8 years old? Just say that’s nice honey and move on

If they are 15 and considering it, we will have had discussions their entire lives about the strengths and weaknesses of American law enforcement systems

I have law enforcement in my family, so they could easily talk to their uncles about the actual experiences and difficulties of that career

If they are graduating high school and definitely want to do it then that’s great, I support them, and they have to go to college. I’m from El Paso where a lot of people go into law enforcement in general and college degrees are the standard

[b]I would definitely make sure that federal is the only option[/b](sorry to the first person who responded but ICE is legitimately seen as bottom on the barrel by American law enforcement people (ERO, not HSI of course))

Then you just support them in general

Law enforcement is statistically a very safe job, so I would not be worried about their safety [/quote]

Why only federal law enforcement?[/quote]
