Good call, that opens the door to a lot of smaller agencies which are generally better to work for.
I’d recommend a custom with Ascension, Spartan, and Limitless as cores. For modules I’d include ultimate writer (being good at reports is huge), inexhaustible, sanguine, Call of Honor, stress Displacer, Journey’s guide, and a few others that I’ll think of after I’ve had coffee. Since I’ve been through it, feel free to ask anything you want. I’ll help any way I can.

Ok it’s a secure enough job with good pay and bennies, with not “that” much work and there are plenty of vacancies at the moment. Your pension maybe at risk in the future because it is unfunded.
You have to consider if this is going to be a job or a career? Are you going to specialise and go for promotion etc. Because if you want promotion then the police is highly politicised and your push for promotion has to start during your training.
Then, there are two stages, getting the position and doing the position.
You can find out yourself what fitness levels you need, which I assume are fairly easily obtainable. There will probably be some sort of black box test and an oral. You are not white so you start with an advantage and for the oral spend a week thinking about what they will ask and want to hear and simply repeat this back to them on the day.
Passing training simply means staying middle of the pack. Promotion means joining relevant organisations etc.
What does the job actually entail?
Getting peoples compliance and getting them to interact with you in ways that you want. You therefore need something to raise your status to above theirs and you need to be able to read social situations and persuade them of your point of view.
TL:DR
Emp and S and S.
I may as well add this.
Is there not something else that you would rather do? Which pays better and gives a better lifestyle, which does not leave you a pawn to some politicians meddling and where your split second life or death decision gets second guessed by some overpaid lawyer at his leisure in the comfort of an air-conditioned office.
Most cops not only go through their whole career never having fired their gun in anger but also never having to have a stand up punch up, violent confrontations are mainly wrestling.
I fundamentally disagree. The average beat cop or detective needs to be no more intelligent than the public (and that is not a particularly high bar, is it). If anything you need a good memory to memorise all the stuff you are expected to go through when making an arrest/interview etc.
Is this not merely a marketing slogan.
I may be private messaging you soon.
Career.
The end goal is detective.
@COWolfe mentioned the infamous oral board earlier, but I intend to have a decent custom put together covering this.
My girlfriend won’t let me be a giggalo, so I might as well serve in other ways.
I’ve been in enough fights as a kid and few enough fights as an adult that I’m very efficient at defusion.
I mean, intelligence in any position of authority should be a prerequisite. As I intend to be a career cop, and will be going for advancement, it’s necessary for me.

I would probably add Negative Energy Transmutation.
