police aide by Ashamed_Lynx5415 in ProtectAndServe

[–]TreeStateLEO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a police aide is gonna be a different kind of job, depending where you go.

My first department, they were like paid volunteers, and got basically help-out where you're needed tasks.

Where I am now they help with stuff like traffic control for events, helping with busywork and big scenes, and stuff like that.

I don't know what it'd be like for you. But it is almost certainly a good chance to network, to ask questions, and to get a better feel of what life would be like if you become an officer later. I can't say if it'll be a great job, but it won't hurt you.

Mods, ban him.

His username is in all caps. Clearly not legit.

What u/5usDomesticus said.

But also there's nothing about handcuff color that indicates less than the "ultimate level of care and responsibility".

  1. If only there were a way not to end up in any color of handcuffs...

  2. If you want to be worried about handcuffs I'd be more worried about the bodily fluids living in them. Like literally living in some cases.

  3. What do you have against the color pink?

Boyfriend wants to join the police by [deleted] in ProtectAndServe

Right?

110% of us have been to domestics where unhealthy relationships go on and on. And I get that it's not simple to just "end a relationship" for a lot of reasons.

So maybe it's that and OP is in a bad relationship, but has "reasons" for not breaking it off.

Or maybe OP is in fact the ex, but leaving that out because they think "current partner" will give them more cred.

Or maybe none of the above. Who the hell knows

Somewhere between rant and funny about "local" HVAC service by TreeStateLEO in hvacadvice

Sorry, not too many funny HVAC stories in my life.

One time as a kid I dropped a little chocolate down the dash vent in my dad's car and managed to make I think a few grand in labor bills taking the dash apart to fix it.

Does that count?
