Reply #31: My cousin is a police officer

[MadHound]

Has risen through the ranks, is now a captain on his force. He is utterly appalled by the attitude of a lot of their new recruits. Brand spanking new CJ degrees in hand, sure they've got the book smarts. But have little to no clue on how to deal with people, not just on everyday routine matters, but when the shit is really hitting the fan. More than one has been fired on his recommendation because they had this King of Shit Hill attitude towards the people who paid them their salary. He is an old school cop, and determined long ago that no officer whom he is responsible for is going to cop an attitude, and that they will always have the fact that they are public servants first and foremost in their minds. Thankfully his chief has backed him to the hilt on this, and their police unit gets regular praise, both from the citizens, but also from peers across the nation.
