I noticed a few cops are on here so I thought I would ask how you find it as a job and if you would recommend it? Looking it up a bit the pay seems pretty good once in full work and from what I can gather, you get more days off than in most jobs. Not the reason I would be looking at it though, but generally, do you validated for getting the job, in the other things? I asked a highway patrol officer what he thought and he clearly would not recommend it. Partly because of the fact that no matter how much effort is put in, people only ever get a slap on the wrist, so to speak, which makes their effort seem to be spent in vain, and because although it's expected to have to deal with fuckwits, the general public attitude towards them is summed up in the word most people seem to just drop like its nothing: "PIG"... Highway patrol is not what I would want to work as but I get the idea that what I just mentioned applies around the whole workforce.
Thanks for any reply's.
EDIT: Sorry if anyone was expecting some rant on being cut off by one or complaining about "under trained, overpaid monkeys"
