RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Metropolitan Police Service full-time
Pros
You are genuinely helping people and making a difference to the world.

Government has torn apart services and stripped all budgets so there is no way you can properly do your job. Incredibly long hours and severe lack of resources.
