Have you ever worked as a street cop?

Asked by Carolis about 6 years ago

Nope. Never.

What kinds of drama did you have among co workers, inmates, and other people who had to deal with?

Asked by Amy about 6 years ago

All kinds. Most of the on-going drama was person as opposed to job related. Sick family, dying family, dead family, personal relationships turning to crap, that sort of thing. Work getting in the way of family. Family getting in the way of work. Usual stuff.

how often do you have to have physical, mental, and firearms proficiency testing?

Asked by blue tiger over 5 years ago

Never, as I am long retired. Firearms qualifications were either once per year or four times per year depending on job assignment. (I DO have to qualify to maintain my retired carry status.) When I retired, 15+ years ago, there was no specified ongoing physical or mental testing.
