There are various reasons. I've know people that became police officers because they like the feeling of power, or they like to carry a gun, or they like the benefits of being an officer, or they like the exciting lifestyle. However, the "standard" answer is, to help protect the citizenery and their property and to help reduce crime (or make a difference) in my city.

just to help out.
