    Cops

    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"

    Sad, but I also want to become a cop. I still call them oinkers, but I still would even when I'm wearing the badge. Police officers have a great job, it's been my dream even since I hit ten years old and got a set of handcuffs for my birthday

    Police do a very good job and never get enough thanks for the job they do. I know a lot of police officers most of them were trying to get another job lol.
    The good thing is that they can take a year off to do something else and come back.
    you cant get better then that.
    If you are behind meDont ask as I am lost too.

    24 years now, still at it. Those in the job who moan should pull finger and piss off, let someone keen in to take their place instead of bitching about it and bringing those around them down.....

    PIGS = P ride, I ntegrity, G uts, S tamina

    Very intelligent, easy to train, capable of multiple orgasms.... apparently....

    Donuts.... Mmmmmmmm...... Donuts........

    HWP would have its fun moments for sure. Struth how many cops could honestly say they didn't like it when they have to drive fast AND safe in the knowledge they wouldn't get a speeding ticket

    Pursuits must be a blast

    lmfao!!! What in the hell kind of training are you guys getting these days?
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    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.

    In my mid twenties I tried to join the police, blitzed all the fitness (got top for hand grip strength and high jump) and intelligence tests (tops for observation), but they wouldn't let me join because I had 2 careless driving convictions from when I was 17.

    Now they let people in with minor assault, fraud convictions and more.

    At least I learnt from my mistakes.

    Go figure?

    Now I'm more mature my income has exceeded what I would get from the Police, but I still hold it as a win Lotto job. Either that or a school teacher or a GP.
