When i was doing my brush up for the ATPL there were 3 police on there. And whenever i have been in FL there has always been one or 2 kicking around.
My advice would be get your class 1 med then get over to the US for a PPL to see if you have a knack for it. Study modular while still working and hour building during holiday time. Then take a career break when it come to the CPL/IR. You won't need 30K doing it this way and you will still have some income coming in. Class 1 first though before you comit yourself
Good luck
