I am a trooper married to a city cop. In my opinion it is easier because my husband understands my job. We work for different departments but things are very similar. It is challenging with children but we make it work. We do our best to spend time with each other but sometimes sleeps wins for activities together. Anyone with similar families?

I'm a deputy sheriff, my better half of 20 years is a sergeant awaiting promotion to lieutenant within the same department. We work different shifts, different facilities, but fortunately have the same days off. We raised my son and daughter and his son as "ours" without ever trying to replace their non-custodial parent. We talk shop about anything and everything except any exceptional danger we have faced during our shift, unless we really need to get something off our chests. While he doesn't (can't, really) attend any line of duty funerals, or the various memorials, he understands my need to be there and supports me. In turn, I support him in his endeavors. It definitely helps that we both have the same career! We love, trust and respect each other, and I guess that says it all!

It is great to hear everyone's stories. My husband has been in LE for a few more years than I have but he has worked for several different departments and has done a lot more than I have. I have learned a lot from him and he really supports me 110%. Even when I was pregnant and still working the road. I got off at the right time at about 14 weeks or so. Besides, he knows it is useless to argue with me. HA HA

my father was a 30 year vet of the st louis,missouri police dept. both of my sisters are on the SLPD. my brother in law just retired from SLPD. my cousin is the sherrif of new madrid county missouri. i'm new to the site an just wanted to say hello! i'm not an officer myself,but a supporter. thanks for everything you do!

Im a city patrolman and my wife is a supervisor at the county sheriffs office we live in. I think it makes everything a lot easier in the coping department. Have any couples had problems with each other when you have had to rotate shifts and one of you is not adjusting to the sleep....going through that right now!

I am a city cop (5 years), my husband is a sheriff's deputy (19 years) for the county where I work. Both of us have been married before to non-leo's and I definitely feel that it works better when you are both in the same line of work.

My husband and I both are LE for bordering cities within the same county. He's patrol and I'm in investigations. I definitely think it's better that we're both LE's so we don't think each other are crazy for driving by a hoopdie and saying "that'd be a nice felony stop."

I have been a LEO for about seven years and my better half has been a dispatcher for the sheriff's office for about one and half years. It makes a different's she under stands when I have a bad night and I do to under stand when she as a bad night, it is so much easier to commcant with each other.

I was a Deputy Sheriff and Sergeant for our Sheriff's Office for 15 years. Just before I retired, my wife went to work for the Stae Attorney. I returned as a city cop three years ago and my wife was recently hired as a police officer for the same city. I am a School Resource Officer and she is the community relations officer. This means we both work practically the same shift with weekends and holidays off. Our two daughters have been raised in the law enforcement family all of their lives. I enjoy working at the high school they attend. I help out on their sport teams, with JROTC where my daughter is Commander and with band where my other daughter plays saxophone. I think my daughters especially like it because we both have take home cars so our personal vehicles are at home for them to drive.

PD cop of about 6 years married to PD cop with about 13 years, same department. It works... we understand each other and can vent because we get it... and we can also avoid venting because sometimes the silence is better... we get that too.
