Bowie, MD USA I have an old friend in New York City who is retired from the NYPD. He spent the last six years of his career with the harbor patrol unit. He loved his job. My sister is getting ready to retire from NYPD but she works as a civilian administrator, not an officer. A good friend of mine currently works for the Philadelphia PD...I admire these folks - - I wouldn't want to approach a vehicle from behind at night, and sure as hell wouldn't want to become involved in a domestic dispute - I think they can be the worst!!

TX USA Yes, my best friend Mike. I've mentioned him before. He's a Chicago cop. He grew up with me in Indiana. He was still living in Indiana when he got the job. They told him he made the cut and 3 days later the policy academy started. He had to rush up here, find an apartment, and learn the city very quickly! He was actually very naive. He was used to the neighborly ways of small town Indiana. He really struggled for a while. I think all the other cops made fun of him in the beginning. Then they realized what a cool guy he was and everybody learned to have a lot of respect for him. He's gotten lots of good recognition for his work. He's been a cop for probably 4 years now. He tells the funniest stories about all the weird stuff that happens on the job. The best stories are about the prostitution stings he does. Once his Sargeant made him dress up in a cowboy outfit and go pick up the prosititutes! He is a very funny guy (in high school he was voted Class Clown) so he really played up the cowboy part! Once the prostitutes were in jail, they kept talking about the "freak cowboy"! Oh, the stories, I could go on and on..... Susan, 31

Ocean City, NJ USA Yes I have some very close friends and close relatives in law enforcement. I don't know how some have managed to stay married for as long as they have with the type of work person 's in law enforcement do.

Sugar Hill, GA USA I used to work with a bunch of people who thought they were plus some who used to be. One of my ex-bosses did a stint as head of the DEA so it was really funny when he almost lost a client because they went through 30 guards before they found one who could pass a drug test.
