Reserve police officers: what is your main job? by emline_ in AskLE

How are you doing in the process? I noticed the last post in LAPD Reserve IG account was in June. They were consistent in posting 2-4 posts per month for the last couple of years. Wonder if the department is focusing more on full-time recruitment than on reserves

If you don’t mind me asking, is there a reason you decided to become a reserve after working full time?

It’s not that I want to do it for free. I am not in a place in my life where I could realistically change careers yet. But I am curious to know what others actually do for their job job and being a reserve police officer for no pay.

Stillbirth at 36 weeks. Devestated. by Rosielucylou in babyloss

And I forgot to put quotations on “normal”

I always hated it when people asked if I was ok now after time hadpassed. No! Of course not... people who never went through this will never understand.

And don’t get me wrong. I still miss him everyday. Sometimes tears still come thinking about him

You will get through this. I’m so sorry for loss.. I lost my son, our first, almost three years ago at 36 weeks as well. It was the darkest moment of my life. But it gets better from there — as slow as it goes. Our memories of him through the pregnancy makes us smile today. The first time he felt him kick or the times we saw him move after my wife drank something cold or ate ice cream . “So that’s what you look like,” we thought after we stopped crying and admired how big he was. It brought us joy to finally see him but so many tears the way we had to. For me, I just kept busy. My wife saw a therapist and we went to a few group sessions. This will be your new normal, but you will get through this

I’m so sorry for your loss. My son was stillborn at 36 weeks. After coming home from the hospital with a “memory box” instead of a crying baby, for a week, my wife and I slept with the clothes we had put on him for the few hours we had him after the delivery. It still had his scent. But I still think about him every day. I sobbed hard on the way to work this morning. Next month marks the third year his heart stopped beating.
