RE: My Life in Law Enforcement: A True Life Story #15 Jail House Blues
I don't know if I'd have the balls to face an angry,
violent inmate all on my own. Being short staffed
and under equipped in a dangerous environment
is just asking for trouble, thank goodness nothing
happened to you, like the other officers.
If I survived that kind of environment, I don't think
there would be an awful lot that would scare me.
But what do I know...
It takes a special person to be able to do that job effectively. It takes a very special person that can do it and like it. I think you can see why starting an officer off in a jail can be an effective tool to see if he/she will have the certain personality and skills to become a road officer. Because if you can't make it in the jail, you probably won't make it on the road. Thank you for reading and commenting!
Definitely. I guess I just don't have what it takes to be a road officer.
You would be surprised what you can do sometimes, ya never know. I'm a firm believer though that everyone was put on this earth to do a specific job. Some people were made to work in the medical field while others were made to build houses. I believe I was made to work in law enforcement. I'm not anything special, it's just was I was meant to do.
