Even for a routine call, the citizens expect to see the police quickly. I know it seems that every police car you see seems to be speeding, but sometimes there are legitimate reasons for it. One thing I cannot get over is the backstabbing and general lousy attitude most young cops have. This, coupled with what may be lower hiring standards, are leading many veteran officers like myself to question what's the sense of even staying on the job. I would like to get a sense of how you feel about what I said.
Life is too short and the job is too stressful under the best conditions.
You're feeling the same things many veteran officers feel toward the end of their careers. Even if you're right, and I'm not agreeing with you, you cannot change it. By letting this get to you, you are only hurting yourself. You must accept what you cannot change and make the best of it. Twenty years is a long time to be on the job.
