CHICAGO â Some students at Olive-Harvey College are on the pathway to become Chicago police officers.They're graduating on Thursday and will soon take a rigorous test to get into the police academy. It's dangerous and certainly not easy. Some of the students spoke to CBS 2 about why they want to become police officers.'I just knew that it was for me,' said Kevin Flores. 'I just knew it was something that I've always wanted to do. It was calling my name.
'The stress that they get in this one year is really building up their muscles so that when they get into the academy and eventually get out into the workday world, they will have the strength that they need,' Dillard said.Dillard added there are five things he wants his students to be by the end of the program: critical thinkers, be mentally and physically fit, technically sound, culturally aware, and have a high level of ethical competence.
