What is the funnest part of LE for you?

K9 Deputy... nuf said:D

Exactly, I get to play with my dog all day, and hunt dope and people. What could be better?

[CincyCop]

Cincy, you certainly remember those days driving around with, or meeting with a partner, slow day on calls, yet you both are cracking up so hard tears are pouring from your eyes.

Absolutely, Cat_Doc! The last year while on patrol, I was partnered with a fellow classmate from the academy. We requested to ride together since we were pretty good friends. She was a riot! We would literally be in tears from laughing so hard regarding certain things encountered on the beat, "remember when" stories, etc.

I have a big smile on my face reading this thread...

This is a job like no other! You never know what you're gonna get into. And the "remember when" stories are the best! My squad and I are always cracking up at the end of the night about something that happened during the shift... or the stories start coming in when we have roll-call. LUV IT!!!!

[shugs]

Guess mine is a bit diffrent but I love working alone. I love that fact that I get into my car and can work my entire shift and never see a supervisor. Telling stories during meal break is an added bonus.

taking a resisting perp down to the ground, getting him cuffed, then handing him off to someone else to deal with. Preferably with no injuries.

"All right, who's looking???"

The co-workers.

The stupid sense of humour we share to hide our displeasure of some of the aspects of the job.

When I left my email open last night without locking my computer and ran off to an urgent job. I got back to find that one of my co-workers had written an email on my behalf to the rest of my team, explaining how I loved each and everyone of them individually and longed to spend some quality time with them, hopefully taking romantic walks along a beach somewhere.:D

After all it was payback for the other day when I did the same to him and told the SGT that "I LOVE YOU" (on his behalf of course - with his email).

The fact that jokes aside when the brown matter is horizontal to the ground an approaching the spinning cooling device, that those I work with are with me all the way.

Oh, and people who are that drunk that they can't be smart a$$es to you and can't walk properly and are actually being funny compared to those idiots that think they are funny.

That used to happen quite frequently at my PD, either over the MDT or Email. Of course you could always count on a follow up threating email from this one overly officious commander about the big invest to follow & how heads were going to roll when the person sending the messages was ID'd. All this did was just up the ante usually resulting in a taunt directed at this one commander the next time it happened. Of course no one was ever caught. Some of the messages showed true writing talent.

I most enjoy the days when we lock someone up, who thought they had gotten away with it. :D

You can tell the ones that thought they had it so figured out that they never saw you coming, and didn't even know they were being hunted.

[DontBurnMyFlag]

Even though Im a young new guy, my department is very busy during the months I work and Ive seen alot. Gun calls, burglary, foot pursuits etc. I have the most fun with anything that gets my blood pumping and adrenaline up.

The older guys say it will get old and Ill burn out eventually. But I have too much fun doing it to worry right now. :D

I absolutely love when an alert tone comes over the radio to signify a serious incident is in progress. There is nothing like dropping everything you're doing and instantly going into a mode of controlled hell on wheels. Once you get on scene everyone just starts getting things done. It's like being part of a well orchestrated team in the middle of a giant chaotic situation. And when everyone's input from interviews and findings start coming in and you began talking about all the evidence...you suddenly realize that you're all collectively putting the crime together as a team. It's very satisfying.

On the less dramatic side of the job, I actually enjoy interfacing with the public, and at least attempting to help solve problems. If nothing else it always makes for some interesting conversations.

For me, it's the rush of going to an officer's 85/13 (call for assistance), getting there, getting the job done, and when all is said and done, you realize how many cops are there from different precincts and other units you had no idea would be in the area have come to help, and this all in a matter of less than five minutes.

It's all good.

Search warrants would have to be my favorite. Nothing better than getting the opportunity to look through someone's private stuff. It's amazing what kind of perverts there really in this world, especially the ones who you never would have guessed, that is until you find their personal sex toy stash. We usually pose for few photos. :D

It also goes without saying that meth cookers have the freakiest porn collections - it is inversely proportionally that the longer they've been cooking the more perverted their collection is. Most of them get downright specific too, such as only watching pregnant-Asian-midget-bondage sex with animals porn. :eek:

But as I said before it's all good. It's the best job in the world on most days, but even on the worst days it's still pretty damn good too.
