KEEP FIGHTING is something that I learned a long time ago when I was a child. Never give up --- no matter what happens, keep on going to the end of what you are planning on doing.

BETSEY Great advive. I am trying to advice my 25 year old son but he is not ready for a police profession yet!. December 28 will mark my 30th year in LE and I salute you for 1981 was a difficult time for a female officer. We could not patrol the housing projects of Bridgeport CT without the touch and personalities of our female officers!! JOHN CARRARO

NatalieR429, I think that has a lot to do with being an attractive female, I have had to deal with that crap ever since I have been in law enforcement. It sucks and it takes a toll on you, I have been there more that I can say. What it boils down to is men aren't quit as emotionally attached as we are, as in, they usually don't care about the rumors, the when they are said about us, females, we do take it seriously. I have had some horrible things said about me and what's really sad is some people believe it and that's when you find your true friends!

The hardest part for me in academy was the social BS and rumors. You think law enforcement would be a little more mature at times, nope there are rude, lying, drama starting people in this profession too. Be prepared to be judged for everything you do in your life, past and present. You are under a microscope ..well until somone new with better gossip comes along. Girls its even harder for us...keep your heads up and help your sisters out.

i was the tuffest 2 degree black belt,350 lb bench pressing, snot nosed, egotistical, mirrored
sunglass wearing part time cop ever seen...
I went full time and went went away to the Chicago Police Academy. About half way through things were sinking in ! It wasnt just week end fun anymore this was for keeps. My ego wouldnt
allow me to know what the problem really was and I started to have severe acid problems and some bouts of anxiety disorder. When i graduated the academy i went to the midnight shift and thats when it sank in. I was affraid !!!!!!! I admitted it and took action vowing to use my fear to
keep me alive. 22 years later Im still here and love the job even more. Ive been shot and attacked with edged weapons. I won the latter confrontation with .45 slug to the chest of the bad
guy.......... rmember heroes are nothing more than people frightened to the point of taking action!!
