There has been a discussion in the International Forum on how the younger generation police officers perceive 'The Job' and a Gardai member commented on how in present day Ireland it is not unusual for someone to chuck in the job, whereas years ago, it was unheard of and being a Police Officer was a job for life ie from the cradle to the grave.
I have always regarded my job as a Police Officer as 'Not just a job, but a way of life'. Perhaps this attitude has now changed and as Bob with the lazy eye says, maybe it's nothing but a job and that in this day and age you just clock on and off, as you would in a factory?
Maybe I have taken Bob with the lazy eye out of context, for this Post bears no relation to Hurricane Katrina.
So, in your view, is it 'Just a job or a way of life.
I would also like to hear comments from any of our Retired Members.
Cheers.
