I started working for the NYPD when I was 19 as a Police Trainee. When
I was 21 (on my birthday) I was appointed as a Patrolman and given a
crash weapons course. A week later I was out on the street. I spent
four years as a Patrolman, but didn't like it very much. I quit to
study photography at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan.

If you think about it enough, it becomes a matter of common sense.
