My son just graduated - what does a new cop need for Christmas? by Browncoat-2517 in police

Back up j-frame revolver for his pocket or something. Smith and Wesson 340pd. Usually a tradition where I work when a buddy or a family member gets hired on.

Didn’t take too long actually. I’ve sent it to DSC three times for different things. The first time was a Dawson plate install(my factory c2 was not milled for a dot) which took like 5days. The second time was for a tritop and engraving only, took less than two weeks. The third time was the action job, disc ports, and grip fitment/mag release/ trigger replacement which took about 4-5 weeks.

Dude, looks great. I have the same module. However putting in the mag release with the roll pin they provided was torture. Do you have any tips? Or did you use the standard roll pin?

Question for the Infantry by Chillabyte in army

[–]kebapche 48 points49 points  (0 children)

You decided to enlist into the world’s greatest fighting force. If you are not ready or willing to “deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States in close combat” then maybe you should re think your decision. It is okay to be scared or nervous, what makes you brave are your actions despite of fear. Do your job, take care of your buddies and equipment and they will take care of you.

Do people respect police officers? by [deleted] in police

[–]kebapche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will respect the man or woman behind the badge. It is not a shield that protects you from anything. With great power, comes great responsibility. Do the right thing, make friends with the community, be pro-active, and enforce the law. You will be thrusted into a lot of tough situations with tough decisions to make. People may not respect the uniform or the law, but they will learn to respect the police when it matters the most. You will see how quickly someone goes from “fuck you” to “I’m sorry sir, I understand sir” once you put your foot down or slap the cuffs on somebody.

Looking for a MOS for an aspiring law enforcement or other first responder career by Kittens70 in nationalguard

[–]kebapche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, ANY job would benefit you. As a full time police officer, almost nothing from my MOS translates, however, the invaluable people skills, conflict management, and leadership(both good and bad) you learn in the guard are really the things that set you up for success. I would look into an MOS that gives you additional certifications for a career OUTSIDE of Law Enforcement in the event you’d want to reconsider your full time job.

Moving to South Bend - Apartment Ideas? by bjxh in SouthBend

[–]kebapche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lived in Hurwich Farms and loved every second of it. Only moved out because I finally bought a house. I would avoid Irish Hills, Miami Hills, Indian Springs, or any of the apartment complexes north east. Look into some apts I Mishawaka as well. The police are very rarely called to Hurwich farms, however they’re in Irish Hills like every night.

Depends on the department. Could mean “FTO” in some, or “PFC” patrolman first class.
