The Handcuffing topic again.

to cpo facts:

Then leave stupid

leo's do less paper work crap then us but when crap hits the faN you better bring your A GAME. WE HAVE A DESK JOB THE COPS HAVE A PATROL FUNCTION JOB AND ITS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. WE HAVE MANY THAT TRY AND LEAVE AND GET FLUSHED FROM FTO AS A COP. THE JOB AS A COP IS TRUE LAW ENFORCEMENT AT THE CORE WE ARE NOT. THE POLICE DEAL WITH EVERYTING FROM IN PROGRESS 911 CALLS TO MEDICAL EMERGECNIES AND DEALING WITH PROACTIVE SITUATIONS THEY OBSERVE. BEING A COP IS A LOT HARDER IN MANY FASHIONS SUCH AS THE STRESS OF THE CALLS, DEALING WITH THE IN PROGRESS CRIMES AND FIGHTING PEOPLE, DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS LISTENING TO THE RADIO/COMPUTER. OUR JOB IS HARDER WHEN IT COMES TO PAPERWORK AND CASE REVIEW CRAP. YOU CAN NEVER COMPARE WHAT WE DO WITH WHAT THE COPS DO.

ALL the people I know who are Cops now say it is easier than being a CPO in an office with constant turnover - they do not say it is harder. The only complaint they seem to have is not having the flexible schedule and having to deal with irate complaining citizens more than they did as a PO.
