Hey bud, it seems like you aren't getting answers from anyone who really knows what they're talking about. So let me help you out. I am a police officer in the state of Texas, and my fiancée is Dutch, living in Doetinchem. So your story is near and dear to me haha. It will take a long time to become a citizen, and I've never heard of a law enforcement agency in America that hires non-citizens. Police work here can be exciting, but not everyday. It can also be very dangerous, depending on where you work. A lot of American citizens are out of touch when it comes to police, which is why you have so many "American cops are corrupt" replies. Depending on where you work, you can make a lot of money. For example, if you get hired for the Bay Area Rapid Transit Police in California (a transit agency much like your Dienst Spoorwegpolitie), you will start at about €3,850 per month. So it's a very rewarding job. My biggest problem is the public being ignorant of what we do. If you want to be an American cop, you can make it happen. I personally know an American cop who came here from Germany, and another from New Zealand.
I need your opinion on my career
