Mike having lived in metro detroit for almost all of my life - I can say you will be hard pressed to find a really professional department in Wayne County. This includes the Sheriff's Dept. You would be far better off looking for a job in Macomb or Oakland Counties. Remember Mike Police Departments are political by nature. In most detroit area PD's the cheif serves at the will and is appointed by the Mayor. This systems lends itself to having cheifs that will just go along with and be as corrupt as the mayor who appoints them.
Good luck young weed chopper - I really hope you can find a good department. You have several strikes against you already IMHO. They are as follows: you show the potential to form independent thoughts. You ask questions of your peers. You exhibit a higher IQ. You appear to actually want to know the law and obey it. Not just simply enforce "policies" as if they were laws. These can all be seen as undesired qualities in a new officer by many departments in that area.
ETA - even Oakland/Macomb Co's have their crappy PD's - Avoid: Warren, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Ferndale, and most of their neighboring cities. MARYSVILLE - 1 trillion
Note*** not bashing just speaking from my experiences. These pd's may have good officers working there but they do the bidding of their corrupt masters - so by association they are grouped together with the criminal officers they protect.
