I spent 11 years in LE and miss it very much. It was a great career but lacked money and benefits and that is the only reason I moved on. I often think of going back because money isn't everything. You are already used to the shift work and in some sense dealing with difficult people and scenarios. As a police officer you will experience much more including dangerous things and the mundane. If your heart is in Public Service then I say go for it. There is satisfaction in doing work you enjoy.
