And don’t forget those pet detectives and mediums, too.
Big BUMP in agreement.
Worth repeating BUMP!
One of my managerial duties is to direct the actions of 11 people who perfom this duty day in and day out, I can tell you that I cringe at the idea of more Hollywood insults aimed at those who try to maintain a sense of order.
Ou people have helped the injured, sick, elderly and stranded more times than I count. They’ve also bravely confronted the agressive and annoying in an effort to make life more livable for the rest of us.
My officers are trained in everthing from emergency spll response, First Aid /AED, to coordination with local authorities for an active shooter. Recently, we’ve even trained our staff on how to identify chem/ bio events. They are also very adept in knowing the legal limits of thier own authority.
Granted, the training in some of the more technical areas is cursory and generalized, but I’d be willing to bet that more than one parent has thanked God for a mall cop when thier kid wandered away in a crowded mall. It’s amazing how quickly all-hands begin searching in earnest to find the little tikes.
They can even jump start your car for you. The list goes on and on.
I grew up in a nearby town. I remember Conshohocken as a blue-collar, working class town, but it made itself later into a business center with lots of big office buildings.
I agree with you - I was raised to believe "an honest job is a good job."
