I'm afraid you are out of luck.
California Code of Civil Procedure
219. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the jury commissioner shall randomly select jurors for jury panels to be sent to courtrooms for voir dire.
(b) (1) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), no peace officer, as
defined in Section 830.1, subdivision (a) of Section 830.2, and
subdivision (a) of Section 830.33, of the Penal Code, shall be
selected for voir dire in civil or criminal matters.
(2) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), no peace officer, as defined
in subdivisions (b) and (c) of Section 830.2 of the Penal Code, shall
be selected for voir dire in criminal matters.Going too far is half the pleasure of not getting anywhere

Here in Kansas I simply tell them that I may be biased in favor of local law enforcement. I haven't served here yet. In Missouri when working for them, I said the same thing, once or twice. For what it's worth, the Feds would carry me on admin leave and pay me anyway, if it was for jury duty.

Don't worry. No defense atty is ever going to allow a C/O to be on a jury. I wish I could be on one though. My mom lucked out a while back and got on a murder trail jury. It took weeks! She got admin leave through her fed job and sent the bastid to prison for LIFEMy moma rocks!

We have had COs on juries here all the time...one was nominated as the jury foreman in a death penalty case.
I have received a summons 3 times and been excluded only once. The response to our summons has a place to put why you should be excluded. I told them what I do each time.

And in Georgia...
Certified peace officers are excused from duty, but not COs or detention officers. Moreover, if you have a good judge like the Superior Court judge in my county, you'd better show up for jury duty or risk being tossed in jail.

C/O's are likely to get put onto juries, if the jury pool selected for that particular trial is full of others that are more important to perempt than you. Defense attorney's and Prosecutors get so many peremptory challenges, or free strikes, but after that they have to motion for dismissal due to some sort of cause or just deal with who is in the jury box at the end of voir dire. A lot of times law enforcement won't get dismissed for cause and defense attorney's run out of peremptory challenges. There's more law enforcement and pro prosecution individuals on juries than you may think.

Just one time
I'd like to, just once, get called for jury duty and find that the defendant is one of the heifers that resisted/spit at me/refused to comply/cried harassment during patdown/questioned my sexual orientation during strip search/tried to keester a crackpipe in her nasty hoo-hah.
It would be soooo satisfying to sit there and smile
