      Pros

      Work-life balance is great Provides training Officers have good OT and pay opportunities

      Cons

      Bureaucracy was stifling. It feels like you have to write a memo to get approval to write the real memo. New approaches to problems, not welcome. Questioning the status quo, not welcome. Professional staff salaries are not that great Slow promotion track
