A Day in the Life: Patrol Officer

A Day in the Life series highlights a different unit/team/assignment of the Grand Rapids Police Department each month and shows what it's like to wear that badge. #5 in the series is the Patrol Unit.
The backbone of any police department is the Patrol Unit. Men and women all across the country, from small to large departments, respond to every kind of call imaginable. And Grand Rapids is no different. We are proud to have the most professional, compassionate, and well trained officers here at the GRPD! Take a look at what they do everyday...

Chewing a gum while interacting with ppl looks horrible! Uphold yourself to the highest standards!

[@zaktripper4908]

Take an oath, in a uniform, at a podium, with your right hand on a book, to receive a certificate and a trinket, just like you're joining a religious cult. -What's that?... Christians, ..really?!
Where's my FIRST amendment right to be free from the persecution of laws respecting an establishment of religion? Sorry cops, but,..
~This is MY body, and I'll do to it whatever I like, so long as no other body is in harm's way!
The sooner you figure out this is not a negotiable factor, the sooner we can all move forward and continue to evolve.

[@logangomez1209]

Are u saying that pursuing a career as a police patrol officer is a cult? It's not but maybe you should consider a career as a substance abuse/behavioral disorder counselor or a supervisor of police and detectives instead.

@@logangomez1209 Police must meet regular ticket & arrest quotas, or "performance expectations", which work as a deciding factor in establishing the general criminality of a given jurisdiction.
