    What is the funnest part of LE for you?

    Although I am not a Police Officer now, I still chuckle when looking back. I loved to hunt down wanted people when I had the time between radio runs. Figuring out where they might be, finding them, hauling their butts to jail. I really enjoyed trying to figure out wanted peoples' possible locations based on information from the MDT, word on the street, info at the District, info from other Officers, instinct, etc. I miss it!

    So what is the funnest part of LE for you?

    Getting 3 days off a week!

    But seriously, I enjoy the unique calls and contacts. While every call is similar in one way or another, they are all obviously very different. I like not knowing what to expect and having to problem solve different situations. It keeps things from getting boring and uninteresting.

    there is not a day that is the same. It very important to me to help people, you never can tall how is gonna be your day and if you'll be back home at the end of the day. So now I appreciate every little moments with my familly and my fiance. I dont get upset anymore for stupid stuff. Life is too short.

    With me it's 2 things.

    1. The funnest is breaking suspects. In my job I know they are lying and they know they are lying. I just need to get them to admit it and I'm good at it. My wife says it's because I'm a natural born BS'er.

    2. Being out in the middle of nowhere, just me and my dog searching for someone. The thrill of the hunt and knowing it's just you and them.

    I love going to critical incidents, the kind that most people would turn to jelly. I enjoy the team work necessary. I suppose I'm a bit of an adrenaline junky, give me the shots fired, burglary in progress, robbery in progress. The more nuts the better. I enjoy the challenge of turning complete chaos into a good case. You show up on bedlam and it's like being a conductor of an orchestra of people who have never played before and when we're done they're on Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

    I also love the chase. I've been involved in a bunch of pursuits lately (last night K9 got a brutal bite on a guy.) That's just fun and terror at the same time. :D

    Getting to know the drunks and the idiots by name and they know me by my first name , almost as though they are a friend ! Needless to say I would never hang with these people but it is funny when they see me, know they did wrong and say " I know you are going to arrest me" and go without putting up a fight.

    The greatest is arresting a§§holes and put them into the grey bar hotel:D

    And I love to help people who are worth to get my help - not that idiots who are impossible to clear their conflicts with a few words and call police or FD for every little sh*t.

    And I love the team work in my unit. We only have one I don't like to work with and we are an 9 officer team.

    There are two things I'm good in, the second is arresting people



    I'm looking for Drug/Narcotic Unit patches together with DUI/DWI unit patches for a frame in our Anti-Drug-Team bureau

    Also looking for Massachusetts Police and US Capitol City PD patches now!

    My favorite thing to do is working checkpoints. Listen to people's excuses, the drunks and the stoners pulling up trying to act normal. The best part is just being out their with my good friends. Having fun at work with them.
    Why is it that all these jerkoffs seem to know about the right to remain silent, but I have yet to find one of them to actually exercise that right. -Legoate

    After reviewing this thread and agreeing that all above comments are indeed fun, I have to say the most fun of my job is interacting with the officers/deputies I work with.

    What a fantastic breed! The absolute top-of-the-line in world civilization when it comes to sense of humor, honor, bravery, communication skills, and true understanding (acceptance?) of human nature and diversity.

    Sense of humor was listed first and bolded for emphasis for a reason only real cops understand. The un-sworn rarely get to see it and a very large population wouldn’t get it if they did see it.

    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. That is the when I have the most fun on this job.

    You will occasionally run across a couple of oddballs that squeaked through the process, but the overwhelming majority are by far some the best people that walk the face of this earth.

    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.

    I mean, we're getting killed for these people and they don't even appreciate it. They think it's a big joke.
