"The Job"

[CPDjock]

I'm wondering how close officers with time on are to their fellow police officers.

Q's...

1. How many officers are on your dept.?
2. How much time do you have on?
3. Do you consider the officers you work closely with your friends, family or
simply co-workers?
4. How do you deal with officers that you're not fond of?
5. Are your friends outside of "the job" also officers?

Thanks, in advance, to everyone that replies!

1- 10 officers
2- 2 years
3- I have some guys I work with that I hang out with on a regular basis. Very good friends...Others I see at work and thats it.
4- Officer I am not fond of...professional polite. You have to work with these people, just dont associate outside of work.
5- I have a lot of friends that are cops...a lot of friends that are not cops. You need a good mixture! As much as i love my job and as much as I enjoy hanging out with cops...you should have friends that are outside of LE, it will keep you sane!

1.) About 3000
2.) 6 Years
3.) The ones I've been around with for awhile are better than family. News ones are simply co-workers still otherwise proven.
4.) Stay away from completely, and dont get me involved. Aint losing my job.
5.) I'm closer to my police friends, than ones I grew up with. I talk to them (police) more frequently as there are always questions that come up.

[AMT8951]

1. 30 Officers
2. 8yrs
3. I am very close with some, not so close with others.
4. I try very hard to get along with everyone from the Chief down to the guy who cleans the toilet. You never know who your going to have to depend on some day.
5. Some are cops, some are not. It's good to have a healthy mix. Most of the cops that I know who only hang with other cops, are not very happy people. Also being friends with civilians helps you keep a healthy perspective.

[LBomb]

1.6000ish
2. 11 years
3. Family and friends. Who else would be there for you when the sh1t hits the fan?
4. Ignore them. Unless they are in need of help. Then all dislikes are out the window.
5. Very few. It can get old quick listening to cop-speak all the time.

[ateamer]

1. 165 sworn.
2. 18 years.
3. A lot are friends; a lot I consider family; a couple are just guys I work with.
4. Remain cordial with them, but don't hang out with them when I have a choice.
5. Most of my friends outside the job aren't officers. My closer friends include a building maintenance worker, a couple engineers and a computer marketing director. You have to have friends who aren't cops.

[EMVAMPYRE]

1. 10,000(give or take)
2. 18 years
3. A bunch are friends, a few are brothers/sisters to me, some are just co-workers
4. Always nice to them, they are my back up after all.
5. Only have 1 or 2 friends outside of work that are coppers somewhere else.

[SRT936]

1. How many officers are on your dept.?

34 Road deputies, 52 jail deputies

2. How much time do you have on?

13 years total

3. Do you consider the officers you work closely with your friends, family or
simply co-workers?

There are a couple that are closer than family, a bunch that are my freinds, and few that I wouldn't say two words to outside of work.

4. How do you deal with officers that you're not fond of?

Professionally. At work, I treat them like any other officer. We're all on the same team and need to have each other's back, no matter what our personal feelings may be. Away from work, I may acknowledge them if I run into them, but we don't run in the same circles.

5. Are your friends outside of "the job" also officers?

I have many friends that are officers. I also have friends who aren't. In fact, the friends I probably spend the most time with are not cops. Fortunately, they understand and we rarely discuss my job. I think that helps keep them my friends.

1. Roughly 45-55 (new guys in the academy)
2. 3 Years (Detective already )
3. Their my brotherhood for police, most are friends, some are just co-workers. But I usually get along with everyone.
4. If your not fond of an officer, just dont talk to them. If your forced to, then keep it professional and leave it as that.
5. I have friends outside the job that are not officers, but of course you tend to hangout with alot that are, b/c your around them so much.
