So, what do you do for work?

Leatherman123 · **on:** July 03, 2008, 06:00:52 AM

Well, I just wanted to know- what do you guys do for work?

I am a police officer.. I can remember being a kid and watching so many cop shows and saying I want to be just like them.. And, I got what I wanted. The best part is- I don't dread going to work either..

So, what about you guys?

By day I am a mild mannered cargo surveyor, but when the sun goes down I don my black outfit and equipment belt and become.... DOORMAN!

Oh crap, Durham Regional Police in Ontario? I remember those guys... most of the good ol' boys I remember are probably retired by now, but ~30 years ago when they started they were a joke among LEO officers because Durham picked up all the guys that were rejected from the Toronto force! Considering Toronto PD had about 10,000 officers, the washouts were pretty impressive!

Like I said, they are better now, but back in the day, you couldn't find a more dysfunctional group of armed officers anywhere outside a cartoon!
