You know you're a Law Enforcement officer when you have your knee on the back on of a perp as he's on the ground as he says  "yo I can't breath". To which you respond "If you can talk, you can breath".

when all your family and friends tell the younger kids to "watch out because (insert your name) is a police officer and if you're not good he/she will arrest you".....I try to tell them that police officers help people about as much of the time as they arrest them. I also try to tell the parents not to teach their children that way, because they could grow up to be afraid or wary of the police.

i agree. especially with young black youth. thet already have a bad view of police growing up as it is.

you know your a leo when you cant watch a police movie without sitting there picking out all the mistakes they make.

And....  After the M.E. sends out only one person to try and scoop up a 7-day bloater - looks at you for help..and you do..   it gets all over your boots when the bloater goes pop... then you go straight to lunch.  After you sit down, you look around and wonder why everyone around you just got up and left.

You and your partner can discuss where your going to eat while standing over a dead person

You Know your a Law Enforcement Officer When- Your kid asks you to stop answering her text messages in 10 codes.

You Know your a Law Enforcement Officer When- Your Daughter brings home her first boyfriend and you are sitting there with the finger print cards and ink. and are ready to run his CQH.

You Know your a Law Enforcement Officer When- People you hardly know start to ask you if you can run a plate for them.

You Know your a Law Enforcement Officer When- someone you just meet asks you if you know his buddy who is a cop...with a department in ANOTHER STATE- (like we all know each other)

You Know Your A Law Enforcement Officer When, you never pay for a drink or a meal. When you make sure everyone see's your badge at the store when you open your wallet, when your on your 3rd marriage to someone you've busted before.

When you have 20 years experience enforcing the law and some spotty faced 17 year old tells you, "You're not allowed to do that."

When you earnestly believe that all Lawyers are as bad as their clients.

You wish those lawyers would make a mistake for u to lock them up and hope they resist.

You know your a LEO, when u go to a wedding for the wife's side and all her relatives have to bitch about when they got stopped for a traffic violation.

I'm still trying to get into the academy --WILL happen very soon (STILL no civil service exam results.  Can't for the life of me understand WHY it takes up to 5 weeks to get the results back from Baton Rouge.  When I was grading test in AZ, we did, 45,000 in three hours and that was with the OLD grading machines.  SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I sit and wait and PRAY they come in today.  I'm getting close to missing the January  Academy Class.  I need to be in that class as it is the only cold weather class of the year.  PLEASE pray.  Today is the end of the 3rd week.  The Lady said 3-5 weeks.  I need those results FAST.  Civil Service Committee will be meeting very soon for the last time this year. ) and I already have people doing this.  Wonder what they will do when I say "PRESS HARD _____ COPIES!!!!" evil grin goes here.

Well the end of week four has passed and I have still NOT received any civil service grades.  Been on the phone to Shreveport and they are finished with their P E Tests.  Not even started here because we have to wait for the exam results.  My life is now on pins and needles as we approach the cut-off date.  Already missed the academy for one department.  Not certain about the second one.  Thrid has all but given up on this year.

You have an inmate that has been near the officers desk way to long, and ask if you need the number to someplace, he shouldn't know.. This is true, it has happened.. They like to eavesdrop on the rookie officers..

You know your a cop when you get called out to a crime scene and take bets with your partner as to who is going to be the runner.

You Know Your A Law Enforcement Officer When -  You can lay $500.00 cash and some of your gear in the squadroom.  The money will be there for six months but your damn gear is gone in five minutes!!!
