I've just spent the last hour reading through all this - mmmmm interesting reading.

I've worked as a non-sworn (yes one of those front counter receptionists Marty) for the last 13 years and have to say that I'm always impressed with how most of them handle themselves. I tell ya guys, it's not easy for them out there. Let's face it, no one calls a cop coz they are happy. Financial constraints by the Govt are tight and some stations work in conditions that most people would be surprised at.

Overall (and there are always some wankers in any job!) they are a good bunch of guys and I'm proud to have known most of them. If most people dropped the attitude then they would be dealt with professionally and quickly.

Go for it guys and keep up the good work. I don't usually tell people who I work for as it usually results in a lot of crap, and yes, lately there have been more than a few incidents that deserve to be looked at, but most of you work long hours, end up in situations that most people would never experience in a million life times.

To all the cops out there that are dedicated and hard working, keep your chins up and just ignore the people who really couldn't handle what it is that you face every day.

Yea, for all the brickbats *we* hand out, I think the old 80/20 rule works as well as it ever did. Apply it any which way you like.

It must have been one of WINJA's rellies that made that call.

I feel sorry for the cops. Some of the Police genuinely want to make a difference to the well being of the public. Problem is, there are other cops who are just big headed and arrogant.
Once upon a time the Police were very well respected.
Now with the equal rights bill being passed into legislation, thats all changed.
I remember about ten years ago when I was walking along the street in Wellington, around the corner came this copper in his uniform. I almost cracked up in laughter.....He looked like he must have been five foot four! I don't think I'd ever seen a cop under six foot before.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, The Police no longer have the publics respect, The job they do is no longer appealing or admirable to any person, they are considered "Revenue Collectors" first and foremost!
The Police can only be building an arogant attitude now due to the fact that they have lost the respect of the public.

Thanks for the + comments, good to hear from somebody that REALLY knows what it's like at the coal-face.

And oh yeah, that WINJA guy? just another wannabe cop who couldn't make the grade so being the petulant sort of person has thrown all the toys out of the cot.
