This is what i know about law enforcement beginning with the benefits. In local law enforcement there is a major plus side that includes four days of work and then three days of rest per week. Everybody loves the ability to have that extra day off to relax. Another benefit is benefits police officers have great health care benefits since their job is so dangerous. their retirement benefits are also great since their pension plans can include receiving 95% of their salary at retirement. most departments only require an officer to work for 20 years before they are eligible to retire. Departments furnish their officers uniforms gun's and everything else an officer may need even running shoes. Some departments even allow officers to use their cars when off the clock in order to improve the presence of police at all times.
The downside to being a police officer is the danger aspect of it. State Troopers police the highways of Texas alone so if anything happens to them backup does take awhile to reach them. for any police officer traffic stops are extremely dangerous often times an officer cannot adequately see inside the vehicle to be able to gauge the situation as he approaches a car. officers also face danger from other motorists as they often are not paying attention. Officers have died during routine traffic stops

It's an admirable occupation, but I couldn't in good conscience bust somebody for having a sack of weed.
