ReflectBecoming a police officer is hard because there is a lot of math in this field. Geometry and Algebra are two main topics on math that is being used. Nothing really surprised me because I know a little about this and it takes a lot of responsibility and courage to do this job. I know about algebra and I don’t know anything about geometry. If I wanted to become a police officer I would have to work on my math to do this job.
