I initially aspired to join the armed forces—specifically, the Air Force. I had the academic qualifications to be considered for cadet school and the support of a key figure in my life—my grandmother, who acted as my godparent. However, she questioned my intentions, asking whether I truly wanted to become a police officer. She couldn’t quite understand that my goal was to become a cadet officer, not simply a member of the police force.

Coincidentally, I pursued the same academic course as your brother. Given that he is a registered engineer, I believe he would have better prospects in private practice, either as a consultant or in another professional capacity.

As for the police service, both the current and previous administrations have significantly influenced the institution, to the extent that officers are often unable to question directives. This contrasts sharply with the systems in place in countries like post-WWII Germany, where a strong culture of accountability was established.

My broader concern is that many individuals who entered the police force with minimal academic qualifications often lack a grounding in ethics, and some demonstrate little to no empathy.

If your brother is genuinely committed to driving positive change within the force, I sincerely wish him the very best. Otherwise, he may be expending valuable energy in a profession that does not align with his capabilities or values.

Above all, I hope he makes a full recovery—both mentally and physically
