Tips on policing in a democratically controlled city
Know your are a necessary evil and not well liked by your elected officials. Know that your minority politicians will run to the microphones when they perceive you have erred, but will never look within their communities to address core problems. Everything will be seen through a racial lens. They will never call out the violence or conduct of their minority residents. You will start out in patrol. Be heavy on PR and keep your self initiated activities to a minimum. Know you need to get out of patrol as soon as you can! Patrol is where all the confrontations, chases, etc usually happen. This higher frequency of confrontations and contacts put you at a much higher rate of being complained on. Know that your commands will not put themselves in harms way defending you, anything controversial, and especially if perceived racial, you lose! Know that the idealistic notion that you got in this job to make a difference, will morph into just surviving the street and the commands that you work for. Know that the job has to be its on satisfaction. Your never going to get credit for everything you do, and a hundred atta boys will never save you if they are after you for anything not politically correct, or controversial. Know that you are literally going to make thousands and thousands of judgement calls and quick decisions during the course of your career. Police work, and policies are often performed in gray areas, that could either be defended or used against you. The trend today is not to have your back. Good Luck!!!

You should also know that if you should ever have some legitimate stress/emotional issues from this job, they will run you off! You are not allowed to be human. Career advancement will not always be the most qualified, diversity, political correctness, and cliques, will almost always get theirs first. Never get to full of your self, remember, there is always somebody enthusiastically ready to take your place tomorrow. When you can, avoid like the plaque, anybody that has the reputation of promoting themselves and not having your back. These are by far the worst snakes you will encounter, will abandon you in a second, if it makes them look good.

- Drive with blinders on.
. - Don't do anything that is self-initiated because you increase your statistical chance of getting into an IA investigation or generating citizen complaints against you.
. - Make as few traffic stops as possible. Don't call it out on the radio until you are sure the driver is going to stop. If the driver flees, then don't bother calling it on the radio. Do a U-turn and drive the other way.
. - Rest as much as possible. Inactivity is good.
. - Don't make an arrest unless you have an angry citizen who is demanding it (and who will back-up the quality of your arrest). Get a written statement from the angry citizen to document it forever.
. - Obey your intuition and remember that it only works in the streets. "Intuition" does not work for seeing what will come from the administration, such as back-stabbing.

This is a sad day when a low life scumbag will accept a paycheck knowing he hasn’t earned it. Your grandfather would sh!t in his diaper if he found out what a lazy piece of garbage thief you have become. Your grandfather could kick your azz because you must be a sissy boy to think like that.
