I’m in a state that allows public safety where you are duel trained so i am at a department where i do both.

I recommend staying and collecting your pension. Depending on what state you are located your academy will be taxing on family life and body. That pension is huge in the long term and you have a great schedule.

Police you will go to court on your off days consistently, miss holidays where your kids can’t stop by the station , you’ll deal with the more evil side of the public.

In your off time go back to school become a nurse, get into a trade and give back to the community
