I started my career in Corrections, State then County.  I have noticed that some of our younger LEOs who started on the road seem to have a lack of respect for COs. It's not really very common at my agency though as most of us are former COs.  I can only say that to the LEOs that give you s#$t, F@#k um'.

Why? Maybe it's because we have so many tards in our ranks...

Zero animosity here.

elitist

There should be none!

This CO/PO issue has been beat to death here on PL.  Regardless, riveralies are common in LE and have been for a very long time.  Riveralies are a healthy way of increasing productivity, initiative, and bonds between agencies.  Should it turn into animosity between those agencies, that's when it's time for the Big Cheeses to get together and hash things out. 

I'd venture a guess and say that the animosity you're experiencing is due to an old rivalery turned bad and most involved probably don't even understand when or how the animosity began.

When dealing with a similar situation between a BP station and a local PD we decided to take the issue to our Patrol Agent in Charge.  He got together with the PD Chief and they decided to start a few co-sponsored LEO events to repair the LE bonds and reinstitute good working relations.

Did it work AZ

Sure did!  A few softball games and BBQs went a long way to causing some of the more thick-skulled LEOs (blue & green) to "see the light."  In the end we're all on the same side regardless of jurisdiction and color of uniform.  Any BP seeing a cop fighting for his/her life is going to stop and put his/her @$$ kicking boots to good use.  As far as BP is concerned, we're the most available backup to any local LE in many areas.  When the PD has 50 cops and a BP station has 400 agents, we'll be there...in force, likey grinning in expectation .  This should be expected of us...of any LEO.  I don't doubt for a minute that a CO around here, seeing me fighting with an illegal alien, would do the same for me.  I know my blue brothers will be there tazering the hell out of 'em.  "Honor First!"

No anamocity here. We're all brothers & sisters headed for one common goal... & that goal is to keep societies knotheads off the streets. Like it or not you can't have a PO without a CO/DO

 Many, NOT all have serious attitudes.  A lot of times it's the shield out the window combined with rolling eyes and sucking teeth followed by I'm on the job.  Again it's not all, but the ones that fly past me when I'm in a marked car or go through the red light when I am behind them because they are late for work act like morons when they get stopped.  If you act professional I will have no problem treating you like a professional but I refuse to be talked down to when I am doing my job.  The same goes for some of these knuckle head rookie cops who act like idiots.

What he said

It's called respect, don't make me look bad and we are okay

I never had any problems with the CO's in my county and we all worked together, City, County and Jailers. State Corrections Officer were many times like copscops said, a bunch of sloppy lowlifes that probably would be in the prison even if they were not a CO. Now I understand that the vast majority of them are great guys and gals but we frankly never have much contact with them as they don't mess up and get in fights, drunk, or drive like an idiot. They are good folks. It's the bad ones that give the bad rap for many CO's. Same thing for Security Guards. Probably most are good folks but we always end up dealing mostly with the idiot wanna bes who really screw things up so we end up thinking "oh crap, a damn security guard again" whenever we get a call to meet one for something.

As for the BP, I worked a lot with them in San Ysidro and the San Diego PD and BP always worked very well with each other and seemed to be great friends. We were both cops as far as we were concerned.
