I hate taking people I know to jail.....

[shooter1201]

* Upper level city employee: Statutory rape

* Mom AND older sister of a girl I had in class last year: Domestic Violence

Small towns.....UGGG!

And THEN there's the clown that CANNOT understand why I can't let him ride his 4-wheeler to WalMart @ 0200! Where do these people COME FROM?!?!?!?

[KCadet]

They come from the dark corners of rooms and from under rocks in the forests...

Getting ready to indict a guy I had became aquainted with over the last year-Indecent Liberties With a Minor. He's wheelchair bound also, which makes it unique.

No mercy...

I have a cop friend who works in a small town. He made me laugh because he said, "I arrest some one one day. I see them a few days later, after they get out of jail. They shake my hand and they thank me because the arrest woke them up and they are going to live a straight life. A few days later, I arrest them again," lol

Yeppers it is hard to arrest a person you know but one thing is if they reabbit on you you just go wait for them at home LOL. I busted a fellow MP when I was in had him on 15 different charges and he ended up headed for Ft. Leavenworth Ks. I even looked him up when I got there to work road duty to see how he was doing. LOL

I tell my in-laws that if I become a Police in their town I'll arrest them all for posession. They like to smoke alittle on the holidays. The funny thing is they're not sure if I will or not.

personally, i cook at my county's jail (hey look i have to do something till i get to be old enough for the corrections end, you know what they say get your foot in the door) and i think its more fun to come up to people you know who were in jail and don't want people to know. look them right in the eye and ask then how they liked the food, depending on the person the look on thier face is priceless, but the answer is always the food is horrible...

[klar]

LOL remind me not to let you cook at any officer.com get-to-gethers ferret LOL

When I worked(briefly) in Corrections, 'we' got to eat free. Even then, I wouldn't. That prison food is NASTY!

Well gosh, I kind of ENJOYED taking folks to jail that I knew. Of course I knew almost everybody who lived on my beat when I was a RD and also when I was in a substation. I was an "equal opportunity" kind of guy. . .

As to jail food, my last department really had pretty good food there. At least for the most part. Once in a while they would come up with something that was well, not wonderful. But it was amazing the number of locals who would get transfered in from other jails, and would tell us how happy they were to be back home where the food was good!

I work in a borough that is 2 miles from my home. The area I live in is so small that there is only one high school. Needless to say, I run in to plenty of folks on a daily basis who I know from school or how are related to me. The worst so far was when I had to back up a neighboring PD that was arresting my brother

I debated over taking a job with a department that was where I grew up. But I must say, the pros outweigh the cons. I've been able to calm several domestic sitations because the people involved knew me and I was able to interact with them on a more personal level.

The fact that you know a lot of the people can be a good thing summer. I think having more of a influence on someone that you know can make a problem easier to deal with. But that is my opinion.

I have never worked in an area with a population that exceeded about 17,000, so eventually you came to know just about everybody in the area. Our members pride themselves on being able to recognize everybody and anybody that is involved in a situation.

Note that I am speaking from the experience of working Pinky and Pumphandle. I do not speak on behalf of our members in the Lower Mainland District of B.C., and certainly not for our members in Ontario or Quebec.

[PelicanDriver]

Haven't arrested anybody that I know. But I know some people I'd sure LIKE to arrest
