What if Eddie Brock was a police officer instead of a journalist?

So my idea in this scenario is that, as i said in the title, Eddie Brock used to be a police officer instead of a journalist before becoming Venom, either a uniformed one or even a detective. How do you think would his character change if this was the case?

Personally i was thinking that one of the biggest changes that would happen in this case is that Eddie would become a private detective once he transitioned from villain to anti-hero, not to mention he would also be trained in investigation and the use of firearms as well among other things.
