For crying out loud. There are bad officers because they are human - just like other humans. They should be held to a higher standard, but let's not lump all deputies / officers into one category. My father served 30 years in our large department. My husband has had a career that spans 27 years in Emergency Services of all divisions, including time as an instuctor at the FBI Academy in Quantico. I by no means meant to start a cops-are-bad theme on this thread. By and large they are wonderful and put their lives on the line everyday when they put on that badge and climb in that car. My point was simply if you come from a large progressive agency you may not be so happy in a small department. I'd look into larger agencies. And for the love of Jiminy Cricket, please don't jump to conclusions when you heard stuff on the radio or in the paper about law enforcement. It's very widely acceptable for people to make false allegations about officers / deputies and the media just eats it up and blows it out of proportion. If I'm not personally involved with it, I take it was a huge hunk of salt. The time I spent in law enforcement I was amazed at how many times I'd hear a story on the news or radio or read in the paper and the story they had wasn't even close to reality.
