And that's no service to the public. Seriously, a good police officer is worth..... how much did you say your freedom is worth? Good officers understand the laws they enforce, and will often possess the knowledge to minimize the damage done by poorly-written and ill-conceived laws. They'll have an active interest in their communities because they and their families live there. They can be part of their community when they are paid enough to live in that community rather than the one 45 minutes away. Quote HistoryQuoted:

lol at some of the responses There will always be people attracted to law enforcement, for good and bad reasons. As less and less low skill jobs are available due to automation, LEO and other government jobs will become even more desirable. If the pool of applicants ever gets so low we can't find enough to fill it, they will lower the requirements, just like the military. And that's no service to the public.

I moved OUT of the area i worked in once I had my Daughter..Been there Done That, seen kids of co-workers get jumped because they locked up some wannabe Gangbangers Brother, Father, or Mother. I was out with the Wife and Daughter and ran across a group of shitheads who i knew "Professionally"...they didnt bother me, but they were eyeing the wife and munchkin..within 2 months I'd found a place in a different County and GTFO. Then again there is an (albeit small) group here, who from their comments doesnt have an Issue with going after a Cop's Family.

The pay and the pension would be my guess. That, the health benefits, and paid vacation are the only reasons why people I know have taken a LE job recently. ETA: Job security too in areas with unions. |

That might work anywhere but inner cities There are also downsides to having officers living in the same community they police and subject to small town politics that an outsider can resist |

ETA: Job security too in areas with unions. Not to mention the pay. Cops around here can make 50k, starting. That's good money for only a high school education and a little bit of training. Not to mention getting to spend most of your day sitting on your ass in a heated/air conditioned cruiser doing nothing in particular. |

A police officer, fire fighter or other valuable civil assets are necessary. In this day and age to be an LEO is definetly difficult, however sorely needed. To those above reproach officers I salute you. http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u373/gbcop9c1/Mobile%20Uploads/978BE76A-55BF-4CA5-AE7D-2C3034818762_zpsx6zay0tq.png Ironic is ironic. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think being a small town cop would be an alright gig. No way in hell I would ever want to be a cop in a place where the same people that would expect me to risk my life for them would celebrate if I got killed on duty. I combated this by always having a strong tie to reg patrons , it saved my ass/life on more than one occasion |
