"Maybe for a young officer, the constant calls make for an interesting day. But at some point it has to get old, and not worth the money."

I do indeed appreciate the job police officers do. It's a job that I would NOT want. Especially nowadays.!

My wife and I often pass by the maximum security prison at Lucasville Ohio. Can one even began imagine what the guards must deal with in that place? NO THANKS!

A friend of mine was a police officer in an upscale municipality. The pay was good, and the folks were nice. He surprised me by quitting to become a prison guard.

It was all about the Benjamins (money), he told me. As a prison guard, he could double his salary due to all the available overtime.

To each his own.
