7 Reasons Why Someone Joined the Police

1-Tailor (fits people up.)

Like most of the police force he joined with the best of intentions, but wanted to get on the drug squad and started planting drugs on wholly innocent people, causing them to get fined, get jailed, lose their home in at least one case and lose custody of their children in another. If he ever gets caught and convicted he is most certainly going to prison as he has brought misery to a lot of people who didn't deserve it and has brought the police force into serious disrepute. (Based on a real case.)

2-Little Hitler

He's not corrupt, there is no evidence that he is racist or sexist, and he only uses violence to protect himself or others or as a last resort to stop a criminal escaping. But he ruthlessly enforces even the very minor laws that even his fellow police officers rarely care much about, and is unpopular with most of the public as so many of them have been ticketed for parking badly, going as little as one mile an hour over the speed limit, swimming in a state lake or rolling barrels of beer into the cellar of a pub to store them there.

3-To Annoy His Family

His family are all Mafia members or at least linked with them and he and his father really did not get on very well, so he ran away from home aged eighteen to join the police academy, knowing that becoming a police officer would truly enrage his father more then anything else, as none of his family had ever been known to do such a thing.

4-Good Guy

Many police joined up for all the right reasons and he is one of them. He's not someone who frames people up, takes bribes to overlook wrongdoing or beats people up when he dosen't need to do so, nor is he a closet racist or sexist. He's the policeman that police chiefs wish all their police force was like.

5-Money

He's a sergent, yet he is buying the sort of expensive luxuries that even a chief inspector would find it hard to afford, let alone someone on his salary. Internal Affairs think that he is corrupt and is taking bribes from certain people to overlook their highly illegal activities, and they are almost certainly right. Perhaps the PCs are honest members of the police force who are investigating him and trying to bring him down and send him to prison. It will not be easy to catch him in the act.

6-Double Life (robber)

He won not only a promotion to sergent but also a medal for bravery as one of those who took  down a dangerous gang of armed robbers  at the risk of their lives, but he has a secret life as an armed robber himself, targeting rich targets like big banks, cansinos and cash in transit vans rather then small shops and petrol stations. He always wears a mask and gloves whilst carrying his robberies out and never opens fire unless he has to, as a murder would attract far more heat then a robbery, and he has stored up the money for now, rather then spending it and attracting the unwelcome attention of Internal Affairs.

7-Tackleberry

He joined the police with the successful ambition of earning his way onto the SWAT squad, as he has a fascination with guns and has a large collection of legally owned guns and several firearms certificates and gun permits. He has had to be warned at least once by his senior officers not to be trigger happy with suspects and to take them alive for trial instead of riddling them with bullets.
