Back in the 90's we had proper coppers, not the 16 year old boys and girls we have patrolling the streets. I cant remember the last time I seen a real copperLondon Boy wrote:The BS was why I left the police in 96 and migrated to Sweden, before it got really bad.Wholley wrote: currently thinking of early retirement as the BS she has to deal with is making it almost impossible to actually teach.
Speaking to London coppers that I know that are still there, they say to me "James you wouldn't recognise it, the fun we had & the satisfaction we got from the job in the early 90s...forget it mate that's long gone, and you're better off out of it"

Great ... I've heard that's a massive problem here too .... too much "desk" work and not enough time, as a result, to be out on the streets catching the fine upstanding scum of society!Wholley wrote:One of the reasons I took ER from the Sheriff's Dept was a mountain of paperwork.Seventeen different forms for a simple arrest.Got worse when I joined the warrant squad as a Lt.
But I still want to give it a bash though ... and it'll be in a few years' time, so maybe things will have improved by then!

Might just consider that LB.
Mind you having seen a few episodes of"Dog the Bounty Hunter"I'm not sure it's a direction I would want to go.A majority of states(including North Carolina) do not allow bounty hunting as that's a US Marshalls job.Still I'll be back home next Monday so I'll check it out.Maybe a little time before I'm back online after Sunday PM.
