Working as a law enforcement professional is like being a professional athlete. Both jobs can be high-profile, physically demanding, and come under public scrutiny.

Unfortunately for law enforcement, one BIG difference is salary. Not only is the pay for an officer much less than what a professional athlete can make, but most officers will never be approached about an endorsement deal.
