Deputy Sheriff with one of the largest Sheriff's Offices in the state.
It is a "second" career for me.
Absolutely hate it. Retirement is not coming soon enough.
When asked, I tell people to consider other careers........

Only A reserve for 20+ years
I joined the local "Town" police force during the mid 60's as a reserve officer, had powers of arrest and worked the shifts for the "Regulars" when they were off. I was just recently discharged from the USAF, Young & Dumb & Full Of you know what. I usually worked the Friday Midnight to 8:00AM shift. Now a small town back in the mid to late 60's was basically crime free so the intoxicated driver was usually the worst we were confronted with. I am very appreciative of the opportunity and would take nothing for the experience I gained during this period! The Law Enforcement Officers of Today Have Much Tougher Job than I had, my hat is off to those of you who are still working!

Well, I'm on the "Dark side" but my son is a paramedic and Coast Guard Reserve and about to be deployed to (can't say). He loves his dad-has just bought his first AR, has his eyes on my S&W's and watches the FOX network like his dad

My Agency has a 23 year retirement.
I did 23 years and 1 day.
The next day I was at a gun show.
I allowed my commission to expire.
And that's it.

Started as a Deputy in Sheriff's Dept went to a City PD in New Jersey for more money. Retired as a Sergeant, was a Squad/Shift supervisor for a patrol unit. Worked 25 years and NOT ONE DAY MORE.
13 years in the Washington State Patrol, Dad retired there. Got out and into consulting, then construction safety. I miss the guys, but still stay in touch with some of my old buddies.
Spent 27 years in a municipal agency retiring at the rank of Detective Lieutenant, Bureau Commander. Spent years as a state certified firearms instructor running the department firearms unit and instructing at the academy level. Gave that all up to drive a big yellow bus while the wife and I build our log cabin.

4 years USAF Security Police back in the early '80s. Got back into it after moving to Maine in 2000 and spent 3 years as a part time deputy and 10 with a small town doing everything - cop, ACO, marine warden, harbormaster. Just "retired" from LE in June, decide it was time to finally cut back to just one job, like pawncop, I'm also a respiratory therapist, been doing that for almost 25 years now.

I've been a part of two volunteer fire departments, a mountain search & rescue team member and an EMT. I was also an armed security guard many moons ago.

4 years as a USAF SP in early 80s. 12 years as FF/EMT, the last five of those as Chief and Emergency Manager for the county. Now...civilian, no more politics.
I just retired in June after 35 years with Denver PD. I spent 9 years of it in the DUI Unit and the last 16 1/2 at Denver International Airport, 12 of that as a training officer and corporal. It was fun, especially working airside, but I'm glad to be done. Heading to AZ in a couple days...
