Hey,
New to the site. I searched but found nothing. Is it possible to work as a firefighter and police officer? Im in college right now for criminal justice but ive been a call firefighter at the local station for about two months now and i really like it.
Our department (volunteer) has two members that are members of Philly PD and the other is a member of the local PD.
In Ashwaubenon Wi, you can be both during the same shift. They are a public safety dept-only one in Wisconsin. I don't know if there are any more in the U.S. Here's their website: http://www.ashpublicsafety.com/
Glad to see someone else majoring in CJ. For the most part, it isn't bad, but it has its moments. Are you going for an Associates or Bachelors? I'm finishing up my Bachelors this year and applying for Graduate school. Yes, it is possible to be both; either at a volly dept. or at a combination public service department that does both. Good luck!Quote:

Sunnyvale, CA, runs as a DPS (Dept of Public Safety). You go to both the Police and Fire Academies, and switch roles between PO and FF on a regular basis. Starting pay is near 6-figures...but don't let that get you all fired up... a 6-figure salary in the Sunnyvale area is like making $40k in the rest of the world. ;) If you don't mind a commute, though, you could be living very comfortably... :DQuote:
