Various places, from New York to Fort Worth Texas?

------------------------------------------- I'D be a Cop any where you list . Its a good job with good perks , benefits and decent starting pay . And with time and climbing the ladder it gets better same as any other job . Course I prefer Rural towns and enviroments but pay is less in nice areas I think .

Oh yeah. 4-12's. Court. Most calls are domestic. Suicide is high. Nice job. Social workers make more. Better hours. Same BS.

-------------------------------------------------- aw , its a volunteer job and no Police are Drafted and made to be Police . If there is anything that Volunteer Policeman doesn't like , well , let him go be a Logger or Farmer , Roofer or 'social worker' OKFine .

there was some mention of DANGER and DANGEROUS so here is a bit of info for what ever it is worth . I think its from 2016 . --- The Top 10 Most Dangerous Jobs in America ---

Chicago, of course. Some of the worst crime stats in the country. A huge department, perpetually underfunded and grossly understaffed.

A city government that hates police. The most inefficient bureaucracy since the Chinese Empire, and the worst weather on the planet.

What's not to love?!

Why the hell isn't Mayberry on the list?

They don't need cops in Mayberry...no yard apes.

Jobs are chosen... they don't choose you.

that's my point . police ALL volunteer to take their jobs . They fill out Applications and they want the jobs so they VOLUNTEER to take the jobs based on money , benefits , good retirement , vacation yada and yada 'OKFine .

 

[pismoe]

and if it is a good enough job with money and other good things they oughta apply and VOLUNTEER for jobs that they think are better OKFine .

You have to fill out a LOT of forms... go on a lot of interviews ... get every medical test known to science (I still think the prostate exam was gratuitive) ... go through months of one of the most physically and mentally competitive training programs ever devised by sadistic bastards ... to get a job that has you working outside ... at all hours ... in the worst weather ... for people who basically treat you like human refuse.

I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Point is that police do the jobs because they want to or they can work at different jobs . Or as I always say . Police Recruits VOLUNTEER for Police Jobs Fnneco .

I wasn't aware anyone suggested that police officers were drafted. I stand corrected.

Well , tell that to loggers and fishermen who also work outside in Cold Weather and also VOLUNTEER for their jobs Fnneco .

If that were true, you'd tell us all the places you served the community as a police officer.

I'll wait.

I guess that they were saying tha POLICE have dangerous jobs .--- The Top 10 Most Dangerous Jobs in America --- Maybe so but if this this is and accurate article , FISHERS and Related jobs are pretty dangerous and I think that its Commercial Fishermen . Same for Loggers and Roofers and this article is from 2016 Fnecco .

----------------------------------- not interested in 'serbing' any community , my interest would be in me and my families finances and I wouldn't take a supposedly poor paying job to 'serb' some community MMan .

 

[pismoe]

my only point is that Police aren't Special . Treat Police as human beings and let them do their jobs and get paid on Friday is my opinion MMan . ------------ just a statement !!
