1. What personal interest do you have in this topic? Why have you chosen this topic for

I always was interested to be a police detective. Ever since I was a kid I was amazed by

kept crimes off the streets in cartoons. Police detectives go through a lot of work to
make the community safe and it grew more onto me.
