__**﻿A Marine Patrols job:**__
A Marine Patrol Officers job is to protect the waterways from illegal aliens or poachers under control, or just keeping everyday people safe. They can pull over speeding boats, write tickets for an unlawful catch, save distressed people, whether that be boaters, swimmers or surfers. They are also responcible for the wildlife in the waterways that they patrol. If they see an animal in bad shape they will do what ever they can to help it. They sometimes get calls about beached whales or manatees that have been injured and they have to tow the animal to the nearest place where a veterinarian can get the animal the help it needs.

**__Places you can find the Marine Patrol__**
You can find this career anywhere that has any type of waterway. Indianapolis has one of the most paid divisions of the Marine Patrol and they are land locked. I would like to move down south to the Everglades because they have the most demand for this job.

__**Colleges and schooling**__
You would go to the police acadamy and their training programs that are set up specifically for the marine patrol.

__**Summary**__
After gathering the information I have, I would still choose to become a Marine Patrol Officer because I love being outside and on the water, and this is about the only steady job that invovles that. I wouldnt choose to go to college because i am afraid of wasting money and time, and then the risk of getting out of school and not being able to find a job. I have a lot of people that would put in a good word for me in the law enforcement field, even though none of them are marine patrols. My plan is to get a sponsor from the department and then enroll in the acadamy. It is much cheaper than college, its about 300-600$ to complete it, depending on how much training you need.
