Cops

[3umph]

The police are the best people in the world. They are our friends and are to be trusted implicitly. They work hard for our security and safety, are 100% honest, fit, healthy and well educated. They are all capable of keeping a level head when under pressure, have impeccable driving manners, never make mistakes and are loved by all.

Ok, so it's a pack of lies, I'm bored.

I'm currently looking forward to issuing a civil law suit to a police officer for perjury.

Thanks for that.

Hopefully I won't be needed to spell it in court.

Actually, I could have overcome the problem by getting a very large breast implant on my head - and painting it blue...

Its a great job but the police aren't always a great employer. Like any job there are days you love the work and days that you hate it too.

[sinfull]

So you feel you make a difference in it?

there is the fact he's keeping the baker well employed !

I guess it's pretty much like most jobs in that respect, 'cept mine... I love my job every day! How many people look forward to going work Monday morning!

And yes, I have a life, but the atmosphere, the people and the nature of the job mean I don't think of it as work.

I feel the difference with the Police, like teaching and nursing, is the motivation for going into the job. All are "people" jobs and I think all would probably agree, the reason they joined up was to help people. I wanted to join way back when, but for some reason never did. Today, I wouldn't want to due to the changes in society. Unless it was in a more civilian-type role, perhaps.

Because? Too much petty paperwork and political interference?

Interesting to see this thread. I had been working on starting my own business this year after a fair while as a construction/property development project manager. The change in the financial climate has made me think twice about starting a business, and one of the things I am looking at is joining the police. I too would not want to do HP. If I did it, I would be looking at something like the dive squad, search and rescue, AOS or something a little more removed from road policing and the general beat.

To be very honest about it, I am not all that excited about the salary, I have earnt more than a cop since I was 18, but hey a salary is better than a business that goes under. Also, due to my wifes vocation, we are now earning a fair bit through her, so I would be happy with a pay cut. (Besides, cops have enough down time that someone motivated could make extra money in various other ways)
There are 2 reasons why I am looking at the police (also the paramedics and fire officers) and they are:

1: To help people when they desperately need it.
2: You get to be out and about quite a bit which is a lot more appealing than going back to being an employee behind a computer screen 10 hours a day.
