No, it's not too late. Not as far as they're concerned. It is as far as I'm concerned, though. I don't want it badly enough to go through all the crap. I don't feel bad about it as in, "I wish I was a police officer" just "I wish I knew if I could have done it." Does that make sense? I like being a dispatcher well enough to satisfy my law enforcement cravings. It really is an interesting job. I get a lot of the fun of what the officers do (the adrenaline during a pursuit and all that) without any of the risks. Plus, I get to be inside when it's cold and really hot.

I think you would be good at it. Of course, two weekends isn't enough for you to be totally proficient, but wherever you end up working will train you and probably won't let you on your own until they believe you are proficient. I would be satisfied knowing you were on the other end of the line when I dialed whatever the equivalent to 9-1-1 is in Canada. :)
