With over thirty-two years of service with the state, I feel that I did a good job, at least my evaluations said so. I had a lot of fun, and enjoyed my job. I helped a lot of people, and enforced the law. There were many times I had no back-up, used common sense, took care of situations...there is a lot of job security in this job, as long as you watch your back. As you can see, there are a lot of hate mongerers out there. If you get around them, they're like a cancer. But you will find many who are dedicated to the job and will help you have an enjoyable, and rewarding career. Stay safe!

Thank God you made it to retirement. I'm 36 months away from 28 years myself.

Hey! I sent you a PM...

I agree with the State officer. I too am in my final years and have served decades. I've loved the job, loved the chase after the "bad guys" and the interaction with 98% of the citizens. I've networked with all facets of the communities, from the poorest to the richest and have made many, many friends.
Sadly, you make a few enemies too. They are generally discussed previously who very quickly develop attitudes towards others and the citizens they serve. To them, it's us against them with little empathy towards those not in the law enforcement community.
My advice is to stay away from them, keep a healthy perspective by having outside interests besides the "job". If you sit behind K-mart with two other on duty cars and ***** about what's wrong, it will affect your own persona. Stay busy, network with the community and appreciate what you have and you'll never have to look back and your mental health state will be the better for it.

Why do you want to be a leo. Do you feel the need to prove your manhood to the guy's?

Hey asshole. Yes you. Get help. Your a burn out. The person is asking help for and you come up with this B S. the other possibility is your not a cop but a hater. Either way, get help asshole.
