You could pepper spray yourself so that you know how it feels. That is what I did. I had someone be there with me as well in case anything at all went wrong. It hurt, it hurt a lot but I knew what to expect. Make sure you are not getting sprayed when you are sick or have sinus problems that day...

You need to find out exactly what they require in the PT exam. Then focus on mastering all of those discipline. For example, if they require 25 situps, 25 pushups and 1 1/2 mile run in 30 minutes - then focus on mastering each one, one a day. Then when you master one each day, do two a day and...

I would hope not anymore in 2014. Spanish speaking officers are always needed in most every department. I live in IL, far from the southern border region but we still get a lot of illegals that don't speak a word on English. I am learning Spanish now simply because it pays more money to know it.

I would just buy something unique to him being a cop. Maybe a pig toy in a police uniform lol, something funny he can laugh at and put on his dash or something like that. As far as equipment to carry, a lot of departments have regulations on that kind of stuff. If he has a cheaper vest, maybe...

I can understand that you could burn yourself out. I myself am addicted to it, haha, I ride all the time and always think about cycling on a daily basis. It is like my calling. But I don't allow myself to go overboard with it. I do have rest days and even if I have active rest days, I don't ride...

That is exactly what is going on. Police need to counter this problem, too. If an ignorant school does then, police should host an afterschool program right next to the school about integrating officers and kids into community programs. If I was chief, I would counter that school until they...

Oh yeah and the no windows helped a lot with the sound part. That is the biggest thing, if you hear daytime sounds, you might not want to sleep.

I would be the type that would feel badly about eating them in any outfit. Usually, they are not very healthy for you. I think nowadays, most cops are going for fitness and health tactics so they are avoiding them. Maybe we need to start a new thing - cops with flatbread crisps or something like...

No, I don't. Peer pressure is causing kids to overdo alcohol. Honestly, I don't think you should be allowed to drink alcohol until you are out on your own. Responsibility to manage you life might give you a better approach on how much to drink. I am not a big drinker and that is because I am...

In all honesty, I mess with them when they are behind me. I'll start going over the line and increasing/decreasing my speeds to make it odd looking. They pull me over and find out everything is all normal, lol. Most of the time though, I know them and they know me and its all fun an games...

I won't open carry my firearm anywhere even if it was legal. I don't want you to know that I am armed unless I was on duty or on the beat or something like that. When I am just a regular plain clothes citizen, my firearm is concealed and I don't announce I am carrying. Carrying around a fake or...

Are any of you into cycling at all as a fitness program? I bought a mountain bike a few years ago for once a month extra fitness, rode it 20 miles and fell in love. Now I road bike at least 100-200 miles a week and some times even 50-100 miles in one day. It has done a number for my fitness and...

Now as a firefighter, I don't recommend this but I have done it so I can't be too against it, lol. Lived in thise old house once where the attic was converted into a bed room, no windows at all. I was a daytime sleeper then and I got this wild hair to paint the walls completely black. No I am...

Want to become a law enforcement officer? You can do a few things... 1. Stay healthy, avoid things that hurts your body like smoking, junk food, drugs, etc. 2. Workout regularly, you need to be physically fit... Run every day, go cycling, do upper body workouts 3. Use your head, don't anything...

My average thought is the source of the news being the bad part. It makes me laugh when someone posts a clip of a video (not the whole video mind you) of a cop taking someone down and making it look as if they are being abusive. Then you get this massive pool of the most ignorant people on the...

I refuse to purchase alcohol for anyone based on an ethical standard. If I buy you liquor and you get drunk, drive and wreck killing someone in the process - I had a part in that killing even if you're of legal drinking age. Sure, it wasn't my fault but I had a part in it nonetheless. Children...

I disagree that its being used as a tactic to encourage speeding. In fact, if you ride on my rear end - I will either slow down 30 miles to annoy you or slam on my brakes and let you hit me and then sue your insurance because it will always be your fault... "I saw a kid and slammed on my brakes...
