Police Officer Career Information : Police Officer Pros & Cons

[TheBlayzinAsian420]

Why the hell am I even here? These guys are Domestic Terrorists for the state. Peace!

[xbearcanrockx]

without even thinking about it, i'd say the immediate pro is dealing with the hooligans and criminals. that can't be fun! first they're out causing drama

then when u go to arrest them, it's difficult because

1, sometimes they're high or drunk

2, sometimes they don't listen

3, sometimes they try and get away

4, sometimes they try and steal your weapons

NOT COOL !!!

[CrayCray4TheGirls]

I swear this guy is high

[PMAN46]

@CrayCray4TheGirls police job is very stressful. and they prob recorded this after his shift

[1982FMJ]

hows a man to gain experience if nobody will give him the chance to gain it in order to work. everybody has to start somewhere. it seem nearly all job today of all skill levels are just demanding experience whether or not it is even necessary on jobs a monkey could do. i mean come on we are human and we have the knowledge embedded in our dna and dont need experience to do most things in life. the system needs a major rethink

[xbearcanrockx]

@1982FMJ yeah isn't it dumb. every job you try to apply at. they don't want old people will will break their backs. they want *young* cute, white males. it's pathetic the whole experience thing. no body was born with super powers, everyone has to start somewhere. where do we start if no body gives us a chance? the beginning spots are the worst jobs ever like customer service and fast food. i'd say the restaurant business as a whole has way too much drama.

[Expateo]

[redakdal]

this guy looked like a nice stand up guy, not every policemen are bad, just some of them that have been around long enough and think that they own the place and they can cheat the system

but this guy look fine to me

[rostine1980]

[canadianboy40]

you need a high school education to function in life, if you cant get through high school, good luck with anything challenging

[EVILAKUMA]

@canadianboy40 true , 100% .

Im 28 now and I started Adult school today. I seen alot , too much , many jobs and I realized .. I NEED A DIPLOMA IN LIFE.

[airrunweskerII]

I am 35 years old... Indiana,

can I still be a cop, and is there anyone willing to sponser me?

[SovieTiko310]

You would have to check with your particular department, for example NYPD you have to be less than 30 I believe, but ive seen 40 year olds get hired and some 35 year olds too, depends on the department, and just if you can pass the test. If you can more power to you

[NipponNihonKoku]

Police officers get paid very well. Average salary is over $45,000, and those in high positions get paid over $100,000.

[ARCDBEACH]

ugh, not in my area.

[canadianboy40]

$45K is like, nothing these days bud

[PuppetSoul]

Yeah, but it comes with a company car.

[canadianboy40]

Company car? Your patrol vehicle is for just that, patrol. Youre not allowed to go and do what you please on shift. And if youre allowed to take your vehicle home, youre not allowed to operate it off duty. Dumbass

[brownmokey]

free gas

[theycallmepher]

some departments do that though, when i was a kid my dad was a cop and always had his police vehicle

[jfburkhard]

Actually, there are departments who allow their officers to 1) take a vehicle home, they're assigned the vehicle and 2) even drive it in their off-duty time, they say as a recruitment tool.

[Fire4FX]

If I was a cop, I'd bust all of the corrupt ones! I'll clean up the office & the streets.

[BEHOLDtheGUNNER]

@Fire4FX

No you wouldn't...It's beyond the power of a standard beat patrol officer. that job is for Internal affairs and marshals, but your heart is in the right place =]

[meacomefeyou]

@BEHOLDtheGUNNER So how do we get to internal affairs? Are we any good by the time we get there or are we like a dirty napkin and gray stressed and disgusted by then or quit the crapness due to immoral corruption?

[meacomefeyou]

@Fire4FX While the government makes more mess on the streets?? Hmmm one bucket of water out and 10 buckets flood throughout he back door back into the canoe no thanks to the CON artist Government in this pawn show to the unaware. Trust? Me too!

[morzilla84]

can you become an PO if you have your first DUI ?

[metallica515]

caN YOU BECOME AN Officer IF YOU HAVE A FELONY?? :(

[lendog07]

nope

[gtstang1420]

No FELONIES allowed... sorry. and as far as morzilla's DUI question you have wait at least one year after your DUI before you can apply

[mattc042488]

Hey are you a cop? if so i was wondering if you dont hear anything during your background investigation is that good? i hear alot of people say no news is good news...cuz i passed my tests and polygraph and all of that...please respond

[GVIGuitarist]

No news is usually good news. I just passed all the requirements for the dept. I applied for and there were periods where I would go two weeks without hearing anything. Just maintain your professionalism anytime you're around anyone in the dept. and always dress to impress. Shave, tuck your shirt in, and DON'T REFER TO ANYONE BY THEIR FIRST NAME. Mr. so and so, cpl. so and so. Keep it professional and stick to the program and you should do fine.

[GVIGuitarist]

@pathway. It's not so much about kissing ass it's knowing whose ass to kiss. Trying kissing a little ass and maybe you won't be working at the dock for the rest of your life. As for the latter part of your comment 1) I told gay bullies to fuck off and keep it moving 2) my penis is little but i still get chicks 3) I CHOSE this profession over everything else. Now go back to the dock and move some shit for 8 bucks an hour.
