The 20 Best Outdoor Adventures for Police Officers
Tania Khadder
2. Fly Fishing the Madison River
Pack up your hoppers, flying ants and beetles – it’s time catch some fish. Also known as the “50 mile riffle”, this fly-fisher’s paradise boasts expansive, calm waters, free from boulders and fallen trees. What you get instead is a pool full of wild rainbow trout and large brown trout. And the river is novice-friendly, so even if you’re new to fly-fishing, you can come away with a cooler full of loot.
What’s more, you’ll be surrounded by some of Montana’s most picturesque scenery while you cast your line. Tip: Try evening fly-fishing! The best month to do so is July, and the best time of night is 8:30-11pm.

They should also try out surfing at Gold Coast it is one of the most hottest spot for surfers and they would really feel relaxed during their vacation.

They have such a stressful job that they hardly find the time to relax. When they get the time off they should relax and have fun with family enjoy Doing pizza New York style at home.

They should spend their vacation in a quite manner as they are always in the middle of some action. You should look for quite places you can visit during holidays.

Maybe, latter. Police work is about commitment to your citens, and your fellow officers. The job never comes with dowl moment but, alot hard cases. It's not activies witch you can do anytime, it's about being a good cop, the repect of an indivigle, and getting the bad gyes. Mainly being above and beond the call of duty, sleepless nights on case, and pertecting and seriving you city, and state. Giving back only the good with in you. Thats what I know police work is about, because my dad was a cop and that is what he did.

Add a "Adventure" clause to everyone's contract so we can take the time out to actually enjoy these!!

Your mental balance won't last long if you don't keep yourself grounded. There is no better way to do that than to have interest beyond law enforcement. It gets better when you can, and do share these interest with a girlfriend, wife, son, daughter who are not in the business. In fact, it is a great way to show your family that your are more than a badge.
While I am not saying that you can't share these adventures with a cop buddy, it is best when you can forget the job, and just enjoy yourself. Remember ladies and gents, you are not cops, you are far more interesting than that. You are a person, complete and complicated, who happens to be in law enforcement as a vocation. Now, get out there and enjoy yourselves!

Go anywhere in North Idaho, there is nothing but outdoors things to do. Officers for the most part, I think, just really enjoy the outdoors and being active otherwise they wouldn't be officers. Just my insight

Hike the Canyon (Grand) and go a little further than the hamlet of Havasupai to the Supai falls! Turquoise colored water and cliffs! Always be aware of the weather in the area because many have lost their lives due to flash floods that can frequent this area, especially during the "Monsoons". All over AZ there are enormous Cliff dwellings that USED to be on the topo maps. Find someone that has lived here for many years (that has copies of these old maps) and you might be treated to a picture taking time of your life. Don't tell everybody!

I spent a week camping in Yosemite National Park a few years ago. I didn't want to go home. Everything there is huge. The sky is so clear it seems like you can see forever. Like in Texas, when looking up at night you are amazed at how many stars there are up there. Caught my first rainbow trout in the Mercer river and even trying panning for gold, ( no luck ). Great time.

Big Bend is my favorite, many night up till about 2 or 3 in the morning just looking at the stars there is so many that even without the moon you do not need a flashlight, it is so bright with the moon some of our group said it was to bright to go to sleep. And to top it off the west Texas territory is the best place in the US, the King Ranch offers week long stays and the chance to work on a ranch (after all it is the largest ranch in the US) Enchanted Rock State Park offers great hiking and rock climbing and repelling. Texas is truly the best place in the world!! (OK mabey I am just a little prjudice)
