The things they don't teach you in the academy, that you have to learn on your own.

1. divorce rates are around 70% higher than the National average.

2. suicide rates are 3 times the National average, that's around on the average of 300 per year.

3. domestic volence are around the highest of most professions.

4. highest sleep disorders of most professions.

5. The highest heart problems of most professions.

6. highest risk of exposure to critcal incidents.

I could go on and on, not counting pulling a child from a car that has been killed, or anyone as far as that is concern. Then you go home and sleep with that.

Then there is the pressures from within, not counting having to deal with everyone's else's problems.

Your a butt hole if you write a ticket, which most officers don't like to do anyway, and your someone's best friend when they are in danger.

You make decisons within a few seconds, like no other profession.

Then comes the fear of being killed, or killing someone else.

Then there's the scheduling of work and irregalar work demands, resulting in disruption of one's family's life.

Then there comes the low pay scale, that they do it for anyway.

And then comes retirement that most of them that lives that long, their life spam is usually about 5 years after that.

Then there is the burned out that most of them go through around the 10th or so year.

But is has improved some since the 70's you can read that here http://www.nleomf.org/facts/enforcement/

Goodness why do they do it for, I once was told by an officer of old, either they were beat up on while in grade school, or they are are just plain crazy, if not the second one may happen sooner or later, LOL

Heh. That reminds me-


A guy speeding over a bridge, late for work, gets stopped by a cop standing on the bridge operating radar.

After being stopped the cop asks the man what his reason for speeding was and he replied " I'm late for a very important job." The cop asks him what his occupation is that's so important he's got to speed to get to the job on time. "I'm a professional a**hole stretcher."

The cop, being curious, asks "Exactly what does a professional a**hole stretcher do?"

The driver explains that he starts with a small a**hole and continues to stretch it until its six feet tall.

The cop asks the driver "Just what the heck do you do with a six foot a**hole."

The driver responds "Apparently give him a radar gun and stand him on a bridge."

*This is known as "flunking the attitude test*

Big Grin
A man was driving down a local street one day and approached a stop sign. He barely slowed down and ran right through the stop sign after glancing for traffic.

What the driver didn't know was that a policeman was watching the intersection. The policeman pulled out after him and stopped the car two blocks away.

Policeman: "License, registration and proof of insurance please."

Driver: "Before I give it to you, tell me what the heck you stopped me for."

Policeman: "Watch your tone sir; you ran the stop sign back there."

Driver: "Man, I slowed down, what the heck is the difference?"

The police officer pulled out his night stick and began smacking the man's head and shoulders.

Policeman: "Now, do you want me to just slow down or stop?
I'll repent later...meanwhile...



The man was in no shape to drive, so he wisely left his car parked and walked home. As he was walking unsteadily along, he was stopped by a policeman.

"What are you doing out here at 2 A.M.?" said the officer.

"I'm going to a lecture." the man said.

"And who is going to give a lecture at this hour?" the cop asked.

"My wife." said the man.
