"Hi I'm Beau Babka and we are coming to you from the Cottonwood Heights Police Department in Utah and the question is are jobs in law enforcement or policing growing? During this economic down turn there are jobs, this is one field that we see a lot of upswing as far as jobs go. Crime does not diminish during these times in our economy or during, in some of our populations and so we see that a lot of jobs are growing in local law enforcement, in state law enforcement and also in federal law enforcement especially since 911.
