Anybody else’s SO a police officer?

My boyfriend and I have been together about three and a half years, and have a beautiful two year old daughter. She wasn’t planned, but we had her our senior year in high school and he’s been working retail to support us while we live with my Dad and pay $650 a month. We want to move out on our own within the next year, and he’s been thinking about police academy. It’s decent pay and we’d be able to afford to move out on our own. My only question is, does it scare you, how do you deal with it...? With everything going on in the world it just scares me about how much danger he could come across, but I also know majority of his time might be taken up with “false” emergencies. He really wants to provide for our family. Advice? (We’re 20 now)
