[PSUTE]

Ran across this. Series of articles. They are 3 into an 8 article series. So far, spot on. Attrition rate is consistent with my class back in the day. Enjoy if you're interested...

Ok, I’ll come clean. I did the job for 28 years and that is all I will say about it now. No, my screen name is not a result of it, that’s another story, I have previously posted explaining it.

Anyways, read the first series and thought it was spot on. I will read the rest when I return home from vacation. I’m glad you posted it.

28 years for me as well. All the fun I could stand. Would not trade those years for anything though. PTSD be damned...

I agree PTSD is real, but fuck it, and yes, I would do it all over again.

Decent power slide, but no Bo or Luke Duke.

My wife's first husband of 17 years got killed in the line of duty. Domestic violence call. That was 20 years ago and she still has issues dealing with the pain.

I was for 2 whole years in gang ass land, decided the pay wasn't worth the risk. Too much in such a short span of time.

One of my best buds has been a cop with Anaheim PD for over 25 years. He’s worked jails, patrol, SWAT, SNU (street narcotics unit), gangs, all of it. In this current culture he’s going to say ‘fuck it’ and do something different. Of all he’s done he says he missed SNU the most because he could be who he really is. Called me on Christmas once with $5M worth of heroin in his trunk! Ha
Good old Jimmy fightin’ gangs.

Most of the time the best cops are not the ones who are Dudley Dorights. The best ones are the ones where it takes one to know one and choose their side...

I know what you did there. I use to give the corny response, I do my best work undercovers.
