I imagine it's good to keep a sense of humor in your line of work to maintain your sanity. You're bound to see some truly horrible things in your day, if you haven't already, and a good sense of humor keeps you from losing it. I set my long term goal exactly because of the horrible things I've seen in my day, and I know that if I didn't have that sense of humor, I probably wouldn't be around anymore. >:X

Yep! Humor is definitely a survival tool. I've seen some things that are completely unspeakable, but I've also had the opportunity to save lives, change lives, take some very bad people off the streets, and bring closure and a sense of security to victims of crime. I grew up in a very bad environment (drug addict mother, abusive childhood, etc.) and I use that as motivation for what I do.

My job is full of challenges every single day, but I wouldn't change it for the world.
