So no danger equals more down time which adds to the perception of laziness.
Also it cannot be ignored that there are many PO's who are unworthy of wearing their uniform as well so I would encourage all to remain balanced in their assessment.

This is the type of post that continues the pervasive sibling rivalry between LEO's and CO's. I am a CO by trade and I love it, I have never had an intention to go on the road. There are things LEO's do, that we wouldn't want to do and there are things that CO's do that LEO's wouldn't want to do. To insinuate that LEO's are not effective in use of force situations because they rely on a firearm is ridiculous and unacceptable. We both serve a vital function in law enforcement and we have to work together to ensure a fluid and functional operation. Fighting and arguing only perpetuates ill will and retards the function of which we both serve. We in Corrections have major stigmas which we have to overcome, we are looked down on by the public, just like our LEO counterparts and in some instances we are looked down upon by the LEO community. I have been told we are nothing but security guards, yet we are certified by FDLE just like our counterparts on the road. In some ways this is the law enforcement community's fault and in some ways its our own fault. Corrections lifers are around inmate so much that they start to adapt and mimic inmate mannerisms. I've had to correct officers on many occasions walking around the facility and exhibiting no professionalism what so ever, like having sweaters tied around their necks, WTF? This has to stop. A popular way of hiring and operating jails today is essentially "representative corrections", hiring a force which represents the population of the facility, this is beyond wrong.
