As a retired LEO, Citizens are facing more. Law Enforcement is a primarily reactionary force. Something happens to a citizen and LEO responds. If LEO is a reactionary, responding option, shouldn't the front line, the citizen, be more prepared?
Thank you. There are more of us than you would think. Look to your Sheriff and elect the right person for the job. As a deputy, my oath was to the constitution of the USA and my State. The end. Your PD chief is serving at the behest of the mayor. FYI
Nope, quite the opposite I was reprimanded for not going with what I felt was wrong, even if it was accepted practice. Want examples? I sleep well knowing my purpose was a peacekeeper, not a law enforcer. I got into the career to help people not make their bad decisions, or make a mountain or a name for myself by creating problems. I worked part of my career in corrections as well as patrol and then the gang unit. It is a hard and challenging career that takes a special breed of person. I am sorry you have had a bad experience.
The two in my office were one for inappropriate relations with an inmate (f) and another for possession of child pornography(m). I was involved with a multi-agency gang investigation that wrapped up 6 (m) compromised prison guards.
Nope. There are more of us than you think. Good people trying to do a good job. The only time I truely feared for my safety was when I was found out I had a green light by La Eme.

I have only ever encountered one decent human being that was an officer in all my years. The rest are either roid raging or power tripping assholes
