You Know You're a cop if:

I still wolf my food down, even though I know I won't be called away from a meal.

I was making $394.00 a month, had a wife and kid, and had to eat on the road at truck stops etc. It really hurt to have to leave a partially eaten meal to go work a wreck.

42 yrs. after I went into law enforcement and now retired 11 yrs., some of these things are so true that they aren't even funny.

I was at a seminar once where a police psychologist demonstrated how cops think differently than other people. His example: When you mention 'scoutmaster' to the general population, what do they think? Helpful, honest, trustworthy, etc. When you mention 'scoutmaster' to cops, what do they think? PEDOPHILE! Yep, cops do think differently.

LMAO! I gotta log off and forward this one to all of LEO buddies. Too Funny!!!

19) You are the only person introduced at social gatherings by profession. (ISN'T THIS THE TRUTH)

No, it's not quite the truth, not the only ones. Pastors are nearly always introduced by profession. In both cases I imagine it's like a warning to their friends to watch what they say.

been doing the job 7 years now and all of these are sooo true, especially the quoted phrase above. a fellow officer told me a long time ago that the things that i will see/hear in my career, a person could not dream this s*** up. cops are a special breed, walk the warrior walk with very few friends outside of the job. unfortunately, we are not liked like fireman are, no offense fireman but we are not heros like you guys are labeled in the communities we work. i am very proud everyday that i put the uniform on until that first "stupid" call. stay safe fellow boys in blue and watch your 6!

Good stuff here. Mostof these are actually true. Still can't get the LEO habits out of my daily routine

3) You believe that 50% of people are a waste of good air.

Funny stuff, except for this. We must remember that there are a lot of wonderful people, hard working "Joe and Jane America" types who we hardly ever get to meet. You know, the reason the police exist. We don't do our jobs for the sole reason of having police; we are there for the protection of society. Society made up of hard working, freedom loving Americans.

Sounds like a normal shift at the happy house.

You know you're a cop if:

A pretty girl walks by and the FIRST thing you look at are her hands!

Your flashlight is longer than your temper and your flashlight gets shorter every year.

31) You and the Chief both agree that if you could get rid of just 100 people in town, everyone could take every weekend and holiday off. And you agree on which 100...
