Greetings from Atlanta
Hello all! I am a 37 year old, single mom from Atlanta. I am currently in my 3rd year at AIU majoring in criminal justice with a concentration in forensic science. My goal when I began school was to become a crime scene photographer but I have recently realized that due to my age, I might have to rethink that.
I joined this forum because, as LEO's, you are all invaluable and credible sources of information so I may occasionally ask questions but mostly I'll lurk if that's ok!

Hello and welcome aboard from Louisiana
SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

Due to your age?? I didnt go to the police academy until I was 35....so I really dont think 37 is the end of the road for you as a crime scene photographer...or whatever. Age is just a number

To echo what Wolven said, age is just a state of mind.
Don't sell yourself short in the age department.
I went into full-time Law Enforcement at 41, and have had a fantastic career. (Still enjoying what I do.)
Oh, and

I was 34 when I went thru the academy. Age shouldn't limit you unless it's a fed job. Originally Posted by Wolven
