             I have what it takes to be a LBPD Police Officer because I think I have what it takes to pass the Police Academy. I am an Explorer, Police Explorer I am in a program were I"m a Jr. Police Officer and train to go out and patrol with real Police Officers. What we do is training in how to fill out an F5 and tickets how to stop a car how to search some one appropriately. I have passed the Orange County Police Explorers Academy. So I can go out and patrol with a real Police Officer so I think that I have what it takes to go and pass the test and training so I could go out there and keep my city safe from crime. I know there are some risk to this job and mite get killed on duty. But I do it to serve this country and serve my community and family. What I see on these Troops and I see commitment and courage plus pride because they are doing a terrific job on keeping this city safe I see there's more patrolling going on and I know that our city's budget is down and I guess is going even more down the drain but I hope they can get more Police Officers out there to patrol.
