When my eldest was 4, we were walking into a BBQ restaurant as two officers were walking out. She looked up at them wide-eyed, and said quite loudly in an incredulous voice "Mommy, I thought they only ate donuts!" They laughed the whole way back to their car.
When I first started as an officer my Chief asked me if I was going to have a problem working in my home town. I said " heck no, I know everyone in town ". Boy was I wrong. I dealt with weird people I had no idea even existed.
recklacetotheer, Some companies use them for the dress code violations.Kind of like “what not to wear” and why you can’t wear it. It’s pointless because as soon as the next day someone has redone the same outfit. 😏
i wish my experience with the police had been good ones, the first real encounter i had was in cincinnati, i was 15 and had just been robbed, somehow that managed to go south so badly, but it always did, i dunno if it's because of my autism or lack of social skills, my size (i'm a big person) or what, but the police can never turn their damn brain off and stop trying to "figure out" what i'm hiding, because i'm never hiding anything, but i have autism so i don't communicate well verbally, i don't make eye contact i get very anxious and stressed out because i have sensory overload issues, so lights and the sirens stress me out, i do my best to contain it but eventually i will get irritated and then i'm in shut down mode, i'll just try and leave , to remove myself from the things causing the stress, thats when they get physical and then i have a full on meltdown mace and tasers are not effective i just pull the barbs out. i type great though, i wish i could text the police to be honest, when interacting with them, it's almost always a disaster i'm pretty sure my past interactions with the police have caused ptsd, i had my arm broken in highschool during a meltdown that was really bad but i understand at that point what else can they do with a 6'3" 200lb 13 year old with autism, but to this day just seeing a police car causes anxiety, even though i have nothing against police officers. ..it's kind of like how you feel i guess, "can i trust this person enough to tell them i'm a cop" ..for a lot of us it's "can i trust this person to be decent and respectful and human, because he's a cop"
It's called loyalty. Police officers have a discipline, loyalty, and brotherhood developed by such a dangerous and stressful job. They risk their lives to protect people who, for the majority, don't appreciate it.

Hardest transition for me was, when my wife and I went to a house party and everyone was talking about work, there wasn't really a lot I could say that they could relate to. They were all pretty good people and never had any dealings with Police Officers, and didn't want to hear about bar fights, domestics, DWIs, etc. Within a couple of years I found that the only people I hung with were other Police Officers and City Firefighters.

Real Police Talk I never said anything about about "announcing" where they work. If someone is meeting them for the first time and happens to ask what they do, there is nothing wrong with them asking, nor is it wrong if a LEO tells them what they do. Get a grip
"until the good ones weed out the bad ones". There is never ever ever going to be a time where all 900,000 cops in the US are good or do not make a mistake. Just like how we will never ever not have doctors that malpractice or teachers that dont have sex with their students. Get real dude, this whole typical anti-police phrase of "until the good ones weed out the bad ones blah blah" is cheesy, overused, over-exaggerated and cliche. Officers are disciplined and fired every year.
Good video guys! Sad though that you have to sometimes hide what you do from people i.e. not tell people you’re a cop because of all the haters out there. But lots of us still have mad respect✊🏻 for what you do. Keep up the good work. 👍👮👮
I love how this account just does simple stuff that nobody can dislike. There’s no clickbait there’s no videos that you make that are solely made for views there’s just always good, quality content that I’m pretty sure we can all agree we love!
I love police presence. We have several police officers and sheriff's and I love having their cars in their driveways in our neighborhood. Thank you for doing the job you do. 😘
Thank you to both of you for your service. Even though, neither of you are located anywhere near me, I still want you to know that I appreciate you both for what you do in your community's.
Hey, my name is Campbell and I just found your channel at 1:24 AM in the morning. I'm a naturally compassionate person, so I'd like to say thank you for all of your service and everything you do for our country. Every time i've dealt with a police officer it has been a great time other than the one power drunk cop who pulled me over for going a few miles too fast over the speed limit on my BICYCLE. hehe, but anyway, thank you. I suffer from adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism, so my thyroids and adrenal glands don't produce proper hormones or regulate my body properly. I've been to the hospital over 20 times, about 15 times by ambulance, and I'd like to thank you police officers for the many escorts through traffic lights for the ambulance, and checkups at my house to make sure my health is good while on routine strolls through my neighborhood. I truly realized how amazing you guys are when I was recently arrested, for getting in a car accident in a parking lot while under the influence. The parked car I rolled into either was stolen, had no insurance, or was dirty in some way (what's your opinion?) so the driver ran through the parking lot and got in the car and ran off after I hit his vehicle while I was parking to make sure everything was okay, so I guess it was a "hit and RAN." I am a kind person, so when I arrived at home (100 feet away, I emphasize this because I said I was under the influence), I called the police on myself to report the accident and my driving while intoxicated. Because I could've been to myself and not called the police, the police officers who arrived on scene were very kind to me and thankful for me acting the way I did, and arrested me very nicely (as much of an oxymoron as that may sound) as well as letting me play Pink Floyd in his patrol car on the way to the station, because I was nice to him and all of his coworkers (fellow police officers, what's the right term?) and I described my music tastes, albeit quite more relaxed than his tastes, metal and screamo music, which I was surprised to hear from a police officer. At the age of 17, I have a deep respect that's been set in concrete in my head for the police force. While it may not be considered the police, I also have a huge amount of respect for the fire department and paramedics who protect and serve our country. Thank you for everything you and all of your buddies do for our country, whether it be arresting those who need to be arrested, not pulling me over for having too much camber in my MK7 golf or not ruining all the car meets I go to, or assisting the paramedics in their ventures to save my life, or saving my girlfriend's life when she was both sexually assaulted and attempted suicide. I love you police officers with all my heart, whether you're a rookie, a veteran, a state trooper, a secretary at the precinct, etc. Once more, Thank you. I hope you see this, Campbell.
Really crazy that I came across your videos for the first time ever today. I was just talking to my husband about how he felt about me wanting to change my career path. I told him I was strongly thinking about going into law enforcement. Do you think it would be a smart decision with my husband being an active duty Marine?
I no longer use my turn signals because lately every time I turn on my turn signal a car in the adjacent lane that is 1.5 to 2 or more car lengths back guns it to block me from being able to change lanes I do not understand why people do this type of crap now
I'm studying to be a cop in Canada and all my professors are ex-cops and one of them told my class this story about a guy that was about 26 years old applying to be a cop. This guy had a perfect resume with great references and a great personality, however there was a 2-year gap in his job history that he said was just a break from work to travel and that was good enough tor the interviewer but it was still required to look into it. It turns out that during that time he worked for an air-conditioner retail store and was fired for stealing and selling air-conditions to the mob.
My friend is a LEO, and he had to arrest an old high school friend who got belligerent at a bar. Ended up needing to take him down hard. He said it was pretty awkward. Also, said he had to stop going to parties at certain friends' homes, because he would either have to arrest them or get in a ton of trouble (I wish he would explain that one more).
Please do a video on your heroic experiences. What are some times that made you proud and feel like you made a huge difference in someone's life? Ever save a kid? Save someone's life?
It is very true that in some professions you see a side of humanity no one else sees. Cops, people who work in hospitals, EMS, and people who work in the courts see people in their worst and most chaotic moments.
Great job you both do. I enjoyed the video and keep up the great work and look forward to your next video from Kate in scotland. You both seem like two lovely down to earth guys with huge hearts of gold. By how you both come across and that your always being considerate thinking of others abdvputting others first. That's a wonderful way to be in life. Trust me not everyone dislikes police. People just need to think more and realise that your doing a job like every other human being and a very hard and challenging job. Very long hours and to have respect for the police . Especially when they may need your help some day in Their life. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos
I have nothing but respect for all law enforcement. Thank you for putting your lives on the line everytime you put on that uniform. To police offers and first responders everyone, thank you for all you guys do to help keep us safe. You are True Heroes!
DemarkableP I usually don’t mind either but this one time I saw someone recording while sitting on the pointy part of a fire hydrant and I was like how the hell is he sitting that far down on that thing.
Because you're handsome Staten ;) (I hope I spelled that correctly? Haha)..Kidding, you are very handsome. But you are entertaining to watch. Thank you both for your time and the entertaining Q&A. :) ♡ Hopefully we can make this a weekly vlog Q&A type scenario. That would be wonderful. :) Much love, Misters! Thank you so much for your service! :) ♡
Anyone else smoking a bowl whilst listening to this? In any case, great video! I will have to check out both your channels. My buddy was on the force for 30 years until he got diagnosed with prostate cancer a few years back. It's a thankless job these days.
**QUESTION** if you’re driving your patrol car for personal use, are you required to be in uniform? You said if you’re in your patrol car for personal use and something happens like an accident, you’re required to act. So would you have to be in uniform? Thanks
No would wouldn't, at least you aren't where I live. It would depend on department policy and in some cases your local laws. For example, where I live an officer has to either be in a marked squad car or in full uniform to make a traffic stop. So in theory you could be off duty in street clothes and stop someone for a traffic infraction legally. Some departments will require that you be armed whenever you are in your squad.
Aaron T not at my local department, they allow take home cars (with a mileage restriction on how far from the PD your house is) and you can use your car for personal use as long as you’re in the city or have business in the city that trip, I believe they also require a sidearm and badge but IMO you would be stupid to be driving a marked unit without sidearm and badge on you.
I love learning from you too, especially Officer401. I want to become a police officer and or want to work in the law enforcement system. These videos are highly educational. Thanks, Staten and Officer401
How can we make these damn bright white headlight illegal? Im a mechanic n iv talked to countless pll who agree they blind ppl when they drive i even had 1 customer say he refuses to drive at night because of them
certified Sex Ninja Omg...so true. I HATE them. I'm THIS close to getting them just bc I'm tired of ppl behind me who have them putting my car in a shadow where I still can't see.
Jennifer Herzog i know being a mechanic id b so easy 4 me 2 do the same but i literly have a sticker on the back of my truck that says if u have white headlights i hate u lol
Those really bright neon blue lights are horrible... I think they're high beams so I flash mine and then I'm really blinded when they actualy go brighter.. This should be a law of how many lumens allowed in headlights.
I just want to say to you both, I am so happy y'all are showing that MOST police officers aren't nasty! Where I live the Police officers here saved me and my children's lives, I have mad respect for y'all
I love this. Tik Tok is so prevelant right now, I think you should generate some videos on there if you haven't already. I'm currently out of law enforcement, but I plan on making some videos in the future to show others what it was like as a female in law enforcement.
Is police academy worse than BCT?BCT sucked mentally but it wasn’t bad now looking back. VCU police academy is in May so how is the academy, what should I be prepared for?
I’m curious how y’all are getting around the 4th amendment when you seize the property of someone not remotely suspected of committing a crime. It seems like a really quick way to turn a cooperative witness into an uncooperative individual. When someone is filming they often see more than what is in frame, including what happened before the recording began. Wouldn’t it be better to get the recording emailed to a work email along with a detailed witness statement, then to get only the actual recording along with a “I didn’t see anything” statement?
Daniel Curtin funny how there isn't anyone remotely concerned about this top and also why we are on this note, in your eyes as cops, what justifies a road block, seeing as every road block is unconstitutional?
I would bet that 9 out of 10 times that is exactly what happens. cooperative witnesses make for a better case in court. although in some cases if you were to say, make some sort of comments while filming the phone might get taken 'just because' since I am sure there is a process that takes a month and is really inconvenient and it would be a perfect passive agressive way to get back at a jerk......
Dude... at my second job... some of the "vendors" tend to bring dozens of donuts for the employees. When I see a box, I make it a point to take one and walk around saying "GET YOUR PHONES READY! COP EATING A DONUT!".... LOL
Hey man, I'm 19 and graduated a year ago, i keep thinking i wanna be a cop (detective later one hopefully) but i have a few things i feel hold me back. For one i haven't had a serious job with much responsibility, and i heard the hiring process is hard, and that leads me to believe i wouldn't get hired. On top of that, i don't really know the streets around my area too well, and sometimes get a little anxious driving in the highway (inexperience i believe), other than that, I'm in really great shape, I'm a combat sports athlete, do you think i should pursue it? Any specific advice?
King Kong Hi, I'm not a cop yet, but I do know that your best shot is to either join the military or go to college for criminal justice. Better yet, do both; it'll make you high up on the list of applicants.
King Kong If you really truly want something enough, you can find a way to make it happen. Perhaps you should ask some of the police officers from your local police department, as they are going to provide you the most accurate information for where you live. In the world we live in today, a college education is going to help you in most job applications. There are many different degrees that can be of great use to a law enforcement officer, and so it would be a good idea for you to really look into your options and figure out what the best fit is for you. Not to mention, if you don't end up being hired in law enforcement, that college degree will aid you in alternative career choices. As the other reply mentioned, the military is also a good option for giving you a better chance of landing the job as a LEO, but you need to go into the military for the right reasons, not just because it would look better on a job application. The military isn't for everyone, and that's ok. Plenty of police officers have no military background. Driving anxiety is definitely something that gets better with time, so I really wouldn't let that be the thing that holds you back. As for the job history aspect, start working now. Even if it's a part time minimum wage job, it's going to help you not only in the application process (that goes for any job you're applying for) but it will also help you transition into a working environment. Additionally, get involved in service and charity work. Volunteer with organizations that serve the public, especially organizations that reach out to the same demographic and population that police do. Even more helpful, would be to try to work your way into more of a leadership position in the organization your volunteering for. Dedicated service work looks good on any job application, but that is especially so when you're applying for a job that deals specifically with public service and outreach. Whatever path you decide to take, I wish you the very best! Anything is possible with hard work and dedication. God bless! 😊
King Kong Tip from one of my ex's friends, he took a part time job as pizza delivery so he could learn the roads by heart. You'd learn the area, get more practice driving and pick up some extra money.
3 years later, I'm in the military. Still want to be a cop when I get out, looking back, my concerns in this comment seem very insignificant now. I'm on my way 😁
This is so awesome!!! As a wife of a LEO I am cracking up!!! But I also appreciate like crazy everything u guys do!!!! This year our department lost someone in the line of duty and the public outcry of support-still, blows me away. I hope y’all also feel the love and anyone else associated with this calling do as well!!! U need to ask the partners of cops 👮♀️ their stories!!! I love the convo about not being able to be off duty!! So true!! Going out and about in town with a cop is always an adventure!!! Stay safe out there!!
*I'm not sure how to word this into a question so I guess I'll just explain myself. (Also, the user name is just a joke! But probably true lol) Something I often think about is when there are marches or protests against police brutality or if a police officer shoots and kills an unarmed man or woman (for example) and the family/friends/public are protesting against the police departments across America or that particular department .. How does it make you feel? Do you ever feel like it's the police (nationwide) against the public? Do you ever wish you could just tell some of these people that you understand and actually agree with them? I hope this statement/question makes sense.. And one more if you're ever able to.. I'm a 29 year old female who's been addicted to heroin/opiates for roughly 10 years. I spend a lot of time in the inner cities. I obviously get to know and talk to not just my dealers but ppl in the neighborhood(s) and something I hear constantly is "oh shit.. Here come the police.." and this person might have nothing on them.. They aren't doing anything wrong.. No warrants.. But in their minds and I know bc I've asked.. They always think it's better to avoid and ignore the police regardless of the situation at that moment. They are convinced the police don't give a fuck about anything but fucking them over if they have the chance or honestly and truly catching them if they really are doing something wrong and for those reasons they won't even say hello to a police officer. Do you think if police officers that patrol the inner cities were to slowly try and interact with some of these ppl maybe over a quick game of basketball (we've all seen those videos) or even just getting out and speaking to these ppl especially the young men.. Do you think it would make things better for everyone? Like, do you think it's possible and important for the police to try and build some type of relationship when they're able to with the ppl in their community? I probably sound insane but I really think about both of these things often and I hope you understand what I'm saying/asking*
Awesome content, Officer401! You are a very inspiring officer, and thank you for what you do for your fans and your community! Stay safe and God bless you!! Keep up the great content.
When I moved to Port Charlotte I broke down crying when I learned a cop w 4 kids was killed during a domestic. I just call to ask what public can do when I got this big lump in my throat. She wanted me to get off the phone. Was not emergency line. I am a registered nurse and worked w geriatrics and still on alert to help an elderly person now that I am elderly. Or a younger person too since have a secondary teaching degree. L9ved middle school kids. You can reach them at that age. Many needy kids w one parent. Please help them not condemn them.
I was never a cop, but was in the Navy and I can relate to stepping into a normal conversation while off duty and when the question of "what do you do for a living" comes up. Not for the exact reason because I never felt they might not like me or want to hurt me, but because the most common questions when you tell somebody you are in the military are "did you kill anyone", "did you ever jump out of a plane?" No and No, I was a Hull maintenance technician on a Frigate and mainly maintained a damage control locker because My ship only had 2 Damage control guys, 3 damage control lockers and 4 HTs and since there was more of my rate than needed and we were short DC guys I got picked to help the DCs. I refilled SCBA tanks and made sure they were good to go in case of a fire.
Similar story to the one with Boston and the powdered donuts. I had just gotten off a shift doing snow removal and hadn't eaten anything for over 10 hours, I got yelled at for some small stupid shit before I left work and so I wasn't in a good mood, I was tired, hungry and sore but I stopped at a gas station that had a little area to sit down and eat. (Small back info, the cops for the city I live in are the greatest for doing things like this) I noticed two cop cars parked in front and didn't think much of it but when I walked through the door, these two cops were sitting at a table chowing down on powdered donuts and drinking coffee like it's the first thing they'd had to drink all day. They catch me glancing over at them and act like I'm eyeing their donuts and stare me straight in the eye and slowly slide the bag of powdered donuts out of view like I had caught them doing something suspicious. Made me smile seeing two guys in what I think is the hardest job out there keeping a sense of humor like that.
I supported Oakland police dep in CA 15yrs after I volunteered eod of sheriff dep I saw so many liters in law enforcement world I hope you guys are good cops . Thx for service I was bartender of cop bar so many years I made sure I give strong drink for law enforcement
"Don't just start running plates on my computer." got me good because, if officer Staten would let me, I'd absolutely use his patrol car as a real-life game of "Watch Dogs"

As a Former LEO, I really enjoyed this video!
Good video guys! Sad though that you have to sometimes hide what you do from people i.e. not tell people you’re a cop because of all the haters out there. But lots of us still have mad respect✊🏻 for what you do. Keep up the good work. 👍👮👮
Lori Vance couldn't have said it better
Lori Vance you’re Awesome (:
Lori Vance is gorgeous. Had to be said....
I'll show myself out.

Legend has if you give officer401 a turkey leg on traffic stop he will rip up the ticket bama gave you
You(401,donut, Mike the cop, angrycops,...any other leo channels) should all get crown victoria demolition derby cars and have some fun.
Why do you think they stopped making the Crown Vic??

I love how this account just does simple stuff that nobody can dislike. There’s no clickbait there’s no videos that you make that are solely made for views there’s just always good, quality content that I’m pretty sure we can all agree we love!
Thanks for answering my question officer401 you really made my day! 😄
Thank you for your service to our communities!! God bless
That face officer 401 had when the other guy said he was into it lmao
I love police presence. We have several police officers and sheriff's and I love having their cars in their driveways in our neighborhood. Thank you for doing the job you do. 😘
All the officers in my area are mean, y’all seem nice 😹
Well they dont have you pulled over right now. Who knows how they act...
Thank you to both of you for your service. Even though, neither of you are located anywhere near me, I still want you to know that I appreciate you both for what you do in your community's.
Connecticut State Police has removable lightbars so officers can take them home after work for personal use.
Hey, my name is Campbell and I just found your channel at 1:24 AM in the morning. I'm a naturally compassionate person, so I'd like to say thank you for all of your service and everything you do for our country. Every time i've dealt with a police officer it has been a great time other than the one power drunk cop who pulled me over for going a few miles too fast over the speed limit on my BICYCLE. hehe, but anyway, thank you. I suffer from adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism, so my thyroids and adrenal glands don't produce proper hormones or regulate my body properly. I've been to the hospital over 20 times, about 15 times by ambulance, and I'd like to thank you police officers for the many escorts through traffic lights for the ambulance, and checkups at my house to make sure my health is good while on routine strolls through my neighborhood. I truly realized how amazing you guys are when I was recently arrested, for getting in a car accident in a parking lot while under the influence. The parked car I rolled into either was stolen, had no insurance, or was dirty in some way (what's your opinion?) so the driver ran through the parking lot and got in the car and ran off after I hit his vehicle while I was parking to make sure everything was okay, so I guess it was a "hit and RAN." I am a kind person, so when I arrived at home (100 feet away, I emphasize this because I said I was under the influence), I called the police on myself to report the accident and my driving while intoxicated. Because I could've been to myself and not called the police, the police officers who arrived on scene were very kind to me and thankful for me acting the way I did, and arrested me very nicely (as much of an oxymoron as that may sound) as well as letting me play Pink Floyd in his patrol car on the way to the station, because I was nice to him and all of his coworkers (fellow police officers, what's the right term?) and I described my music tastes, albeit quite more relaxed than his tastes, metal and screamo music, which I was surprised to hear from a police officer. At the age of 17, I have a deep respect that's been set in concrete in my head for the police force. While it may not be considered the police, I also have a huge amount of respect for the fire department and paramedics who protect and serve our country. Thank you for everything you and all of your buddies do for our country, whether it be arresting those who need to be arrested, not pulling me over for having too much camber in my MK7 golf or not ruining all the car meets I go to, or assisting the paramedics in their ventures to save my life, or saving my girlfriend's life when she was both sexually assaulted and attempted suicide. I love you police officers with all my heart, whether you're a rookie, a veteran, a state trooper, a secretary at the precinct, etc. Once more, Thank you.
I hope you see this,
Campbell.
Really crazy that I came across your videos for the first time ever today. I was just talking to my husband about how he felt about me wanting to change my career path. I told him I was strongly thinking about going into law enforcement. Do you think it would be a smart decision with my husband being an active duty Marine?
Absolutely. I think you should reach for any goal you have for yourself. Everything else will fall in line.
officer401 thank you! I just wasn't sure if it was a realistic goal considering he will be switching duty stations roughly every 4 years.
I no longer use my turn signals because lately every time I turn on my turn signal a car in the adjacent lane that is 1.5 to 2 or more car lengths back guns it to block me from being able to change lanes I do not understand why people do this type of crap now
Imagine says ur a ballon pilot for a coast guard and getting accused of stolen valor by an actual ballon pilot lol
I'm studying to be a cop in Canada and all my professors are ex-cops and one of them told my class this story about a guy that was about 26 years old applying to be a cop. This guy had a perfect resume with great references and a great personality, however there was a 2-year gap in his job history that he said was just a break from work to travel and that was good enough tor the interviewer but it was still required to look into it. It turns out that during that time he worked for an air-conditioner retail store and was fired for stealing and selling air-conditions to the mob.
Omfg what?😂😂😂😂.
another awesome video being watched keep it up
My friend is a LEO, and he had to arrest an old high school friend who got belligerent at a bar. Ended up needing to take him down hard. He said it was pretty awkward. Also, said he had to stop going to parties at certain friends' homes, because he would either have to arrest them or get in a ton of trouble (I wish he would explain that one more).
Please do a video on your heroic experiences. What are some times that made you proud and feel like you made a huge difference in someone's life? Ever save a kid? Save someone's life?
Brandon Lucas nothing is heroic about their job.
Officer 401, how many burnouts have you done in your cruiser? 🤔😂
More than zero...less than....2000
how many people have you raced in that charger, especially now your getting v8s
PS 400 1 month late, but no they're provided. Only thing you purchase is your personal vehicle.

It is very true that in some professions you see a side of humanity no one else sees. Cops, people who work in hospitals, EMS, and people who work in the courts see people in their worst and most chaotic moments.
Great job you both do. I enjoyed the video and keep up the great work and look forward to your next video from Kate in scotland. You both seem like two lovely down to earth guys with huge hearts of gold. By how you both come across and that your always being considerate thinking of others abdvputting others first. That's a wonderful way to be in life. Trust me not everyone dislikes police. People just need to think more and realise that your doing a job like every other human being and a very hard and challenging job. Very long hours and to have respect for the police . Especially when they may need your help some day in Their life. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos
I have nothing but respect for all law enforcement. Thank you for putting your lives on the line everytime you put on that uniform. To police offers and first responders everyone, thank you for all you guys do to help keep us safe. You are True Heroes!
I always thank people when they start recording me and without fail they always stop 1-2 minutes after I thank them.
DemarkableP I usually don’t mind either but this one time I saw someone recording while sitting on the pointy part of a fire hydrant and I was like how the hell is he sitting that far down on that thing.
xD
It’s not because you thank them, it’s because they realize you’re not worth a little bit of their battery life
jeejee that doesn’t even make sense. Fuckin troll can’t even properly shit post.
“These internet companies I will not name *Comcast*” lol
Because you're handsome Staten ;) (I hope I spelled that correctly? Haha)..Kidding, you are very handsome. But you are entertaining to watch. Thank you both for your time and the entertaining Q&A. :) ♡ Hopefully we can make this a weekly vlog Q&A type scenario. That would be wonderful. :) Much love, Misters! Thank you so much for your service! :) ♡
Anyone else smoking a bowl whilst listening to this? In any case, great video! I will have to check out both your channels. My buddy was on the force for 30 years until he got diagnosed with prostate cancer a few years back. It's a thankless job these days.
I absolutely love the content of your channel
**passionately discusses donut flavors** - 401 quickly interjects: "We don't eat donuts as much as people think" "yeah no I don't either."
**QUESTION** if you’re driving your patrol car for personal use, are you required to be in uniform? You said if you’re in your patrol car for personal use and something happens like an accident, you’re required to act. So would you have to be in uniform? Thanks
No would wouldn't, at least you aren't where I live. It would depend on department policy and in some cases your local laws. For example, where I live an officer has to either be in a marked squad car or in full uniform to make a traffic stop. So in theory you could be off duty in street clothes and stop someone for a traffic infraction legally. Some departments will require that you be armed whenever you are in your squad.
Aaron T not at my local department, they allow take home cars (with a mileage restriction on how far from the PD your house is) and you can use your car for personal use as long as you’re in the city or have business in the city that trip, I believe they also require a sidearm and badge but IMO you would be stupid to be driving a marked unit without sidearm and badge on you.
The department in my town requires you to be in uniform if you are in your patrol car.
Do they have take home cars and if so do you know if they are to and from work only?
Chris Jones mmm I'll ask my friend real quick
Imagining a cop pulling up behind people in the drive thru with their lights on like they're trying to pass or pull them over made my night.
"I'm a freelance tank driver. It's very confusing though since there's 6 pedals but only 4 directions."
I love learning from you too, especially Officer401. I want to become a police officer and or want to work in the law enforcement system. These videos are highly educational. Thanks, Staten and Officer401
How can we make these damn bright white headlight illegal? Im a mechanic n iv talked to countless pll who agree they blind ppl when they drive i even had 1 customer say he refuses to drive at night because of them
certified Sex Ninja Omg...so true. I HATE them. I'm THIS close to getting them just bc I'm tired of ppl behind me who have them putting my car in a shadow where I still can't see.
Jennifer Herzog i know being a mechanic id b so easy 4 me 2 do the same but i literly have a sticker on the back of my truck that says if u have white headlights i hate u lol
Those really bright neon blue lights are horrible... I think they're high beams so I flash mine and then I'm really blinded when they actualy go brighter.. This should be a law of how many lumens allowed in headlights.
Sorry 😂
Mike Larson Arsehole lol
I just want to say to you both, I am so happy y'all are showing that MOST police officers aren't nasty! Where I live the Police officers here saved me and my children's lives, I have mad respect for y'all
Staten for the love of powdered doughnuts its
" my partner and I"
cool channel bro, most videos online don't show police in a good light. but it's cool to see this more personal side to the profession.
I love this. Tik Tok is so prevelant right now, I think you should generate some videos on there if you haven't already. I'm currently out of law enforcement, but I plan on making some videos in the future to show others what it was like as a female in law enforcement.
That's a great idea! Please keep me updated!
Please no. Tik tok is cringe
Watch you daily man! Thanks for all you guys do, and always be safe!
Is police academy worse than BCT?BCT sucked mentally but it wasn’t bad now looking back. VCU police academy is in May so how is the academy, what should I be prepared for?
No! Definitely not as bad lol
i wish all cops acted like you two, because ive seen some sketchy ass shit go down. You both have a lot of respect for your job and power.
I’m curious how y’all are getting around the 4th amendment when you seize the property of someone not remotely suspected of committing a crime. It seems like a really quick way to turn a cooperative witness into an uncooperative individual. When someone is filming they often see more than what is in frame, including what happened before the recording began. Wouldn’t it be better to get the recording emailed to a work email along with a detailed witness statement, then to get only the actual recording along with a “I didn’t see anything” statement?
Daniel Curtin funny how there isn't anyone remotely concerned about this top and also why we are on this note, in your eyes as cops, what justifies a road block, seeing as every road block is unconstitutional?
I would bet that 9 out of 10 times that is exactly what happens. cooperative witnesses make for a better case in court. although in some cases if you were to say, make some sort of comments while filming the phone might get taken 'just because' since I am sure there is a process that takes a month and is really inconvenient and it would be a perfect passive agressive way to get back at a jerk......
Dude... at my second job... some of the "vendors" tend to bring dozens of donuts for the employees. When I see a box, I make it a point to take one and walk around saying "GET YOUR PHONES READY! COP EATING A DONUT!".... LOL
Hey man, I'm 19 and graduated a year ago, i keep thinking i wanna be a cop (detective later one hopefully) but i have a few things i feel hold me back. For one i haven't had a serious job with much responsibility, and i heard the hiring process is hard, and that leads me to believe i wouldn't get hired. On top of that, i don't really know the streets around my area too well, and sometimes get a little anxious driving in the highway (inexperience i believe), other than that, I'm in really great shape, I'm a combat sports athlete, do you think i should pursue it? Any specific advice?
King Kong Hi, I'm not a cop yet, but I do know that your best shot is to either join the military or go to college for criminal justice. Better yet, do both; it'll make you high up on the list of applicants.
King Kong If you really truly want something enough, you can find a way to make it happen. Perhaps you should ask some of the police officers from your local police department, as they are going to provide you the most accurate information for where you live. In the world we live in today, a college education is going to help you in most job applications. There are many different degrees that can be of great use to a law enforcement officer, and so it would be a good idea for you to really look into your options and figure out what the best fit is for you. Not to mention, if you don't end up being hired in law enforcement, that college degree will aid you in alternative career choices. As the other reply mentioned, the military is also a good option for giving you a better chance of landing the job as a LEO, but you need to go into the military for the right reasons, not just because it would look better on a job application. The military isn't for everyone, and that's ok. Plenty of police officers have no military background. Driving anxiety is definitely something that gets better with time, so I really wouldn't let that be the thing that holds you back. As for the job history aspect, start working now. Even if it's a part time minimum wage job, it's going to help you not only in the application process (that goes for any job you're applying for) but it will also help you transition into a working environment. Additionally, get involved in service and charity work. Volunteer with organizations that serve the public, especially organizations that reach out to the same demographic and population that police do. Even more helpful, would be to try to work your way into more of a leadership position in the organization your volunteering for. Dedicated service work looks good on any job application, but that is especially so when you're applying for a job that deals specifically with public service and outreach.
Whatever path you decide to take, I wish you the very best! Anything is possible with hard work and dedication. God bless! 😊
Brittany God bless, thank you very much for the advice and kind words ☺
King Kong
Tip from one of my ex's friends, he took a part time job as pizza delivery so he could learn the roads by heart. You'd learn the area, get more practice driving and pick up some extra money.
3 years later, I'm in the military. Still want to be a cop when I get out, looking back, my concerns in this comment seem very insignificant now. I'm on my way 😁
Thank you guys for serving the community!!
Watching a cop video baked😂😂🤫
This is so awesome!!! As a wife of a LEO I am cracking up!!! But I also appreciate like crazy everything u guys do!!!! This year our department lost someone in the line of duty and the public outcry of support-still, blows me away. I hope y’all also feel the love and anyone else associated with this calling do as well!!! U need to ask the partners of cops 👮♀️ their stories!!! I love the convo about not being able to be off duty!! So true!! Going out and about in town with a cop is always an adventure!!! Stay safe out there!!
*I'm not sure how to word this into a question so I guess I'll just explain myself. (Also, the user name is just a joke! But probably true lol) Something I often think about is when there are marches or protests against police brutality or if a police officer shoots and kills an unarmed man or woman (for example) and the family/friends/public are protesting against the police departments across America or that particular department .. How does it make you feel? Do you ever feel like it's the police (nationwide) against the public? Do you ever wish you could just tell some of these people that you understand and actually agree with them? I hope this statement/question makes sense..
And one more if you're ever able to.. I'm a 29 year old female who's been addicted to heroin/opiates for roughly 10 years. I spend a lot of time in the inner cities. I obviously get to know and talk to not just my dealers but ppl in the neighborhood(s) and something I hear constantly is "oh shit.. Here come the police.." and this person might have nothing on them.. They aren't doing anything wrong.. No warrants.. But in their minds and I know bc I've asked.. They always think it's better to avoid and ignore the police regardless of the situation at that moment. They are convinced the police don't give a fuck about anything but fucking them over if they have the chance or honestly and truly catching them if they really are doing something wrong and for those reasons they won't even say hello to a police officer. Do you think if police officers that patrol the inner cities were to slowly try and interact with some of these ppl maybe over a quick game of basketball (we've all seen those videos) or even just getting out and speaking to these ppl especially the young men.. Do you think it would make things better for everyone? Like, do you think it's possible and important for the police to try and build some type of relationship when they're able to with the ppl in their community?
I probably sound insane but I really think about both of these things often and I hope you understand what I'm saying/asking*
Awesome content, Officer401! You are a very inspiring officer, and thank you for what you do for your fans and your community! Stay safe and God bless you!! Keep up the great content.
I have heard "buff" and "mannequin" in the same sentence before.... Is that weird?
i 💙 cops!!! no lie. thank you for taking on an underappreciated necessity for our life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and general well-being.
Would you go lights and sirens if you need the bathroom reaaaaaaally bad?
YES
I got pulled over the other day by the nicest cop EVER. You guys seem like pretty good cops, good on you, keep serving boys!
What’s your favorite thing to give a ticket for
Move Over Law, and traveling slow in the left lane.
Thank God someone is enforcing that left lane law. We finally have it here, but it's not enforced. It drives me nuts.
When I moved to Port Charlotte I broke down crying when I learned a cop w 4 kids was killed during a domestic. I just call to ask what public can do when I got this big lump in my throat. She wanted me to get off the phone. Was not emergency line.
I am a registered nurse and worked w geriatrics and still on alert to help an elderly person now that I am elderly. Or a younger person too since have a secondary teaching degree. L9ved middle school kids. You can reach them at that age. Many needy kids w one parent. Please help them not condemn them.
Did I hear you guys are from Georgia in the beginning? I live in Georgia ☺️ I wish the police in my area were as nice as y’all!
Thank you, Nicole! :)
officer401 your welcome :)
Also, I’m sure you get this all the time, but I love your tattoos!
Thank you both! I love these videos !
I've got a question, how often do you witnessed police improprieties including yourselves?
They wont answer that one. At least not honestly.
Alphonzo Hairston probably never it’s not as often the media likes to make it seem.
I was never a cop, but was in the Navy and I can relate to stepping into a normal conversation while off duty and when the question of "what do you do for a living" comes up. Not for the exact reason because I never felt they might not like me or want to hurt me, but because the most common questions when you tell somebody you are in the military are "did you kill anyone", "did you ever jump out of a plane?" No and No, I was a Hull maintenance technician on a Frigate and mainly maintained a damage control locker because My ship only had 2 Damage control guys, 3 damage control lockers and 4 HTs and since there was more of my rate than needed and we were short DC guys I got picked to help the DCs. I refilled SCBA tanks and made sure they were good to go in case of a fire.
Those dimples though 😍
That’s funny. My hubby tells people he works for DOT. Exactly your reasons is what he’s explained to our kids. Be safe guys. 🙏🏻🙌🏻
BOTH HOTT🔥🔥 I know, I have 0 shame. I ♡ Cops
40 to 60 percent are abusers. I'm not saying these two but yes....that fact is true.

Do's and Don'ts (officer procedures) for pulling cars over would be a great topic.
What is your view on 2nd career/midlife rookie cops?
Similar story to the one with Boston and the powdered donuts. I had just gotten off a shift doing snow removal and hadn't eaten anything for over 10 hours, I got yelled at for some small stupid shit before I left work and so I wasn't in a good mood, I was tired, hungry and sore but I stopped at a gas station that had a little area to sit down and eat. (Small back info, the cops for the city I live in are the greatest for doing things like this) I noticed two cop cars parked in front and didn't think much of it but when I walked through the door, these two cops were sitting at a table chowing down on powdered donuts and drinking coffee like it's the first thing they'd had to drink all day. They catch me glancing over at them and act like I'm eyeing their donuts and stare me straight in the eye and slowly slide the bag of powdered donuts out of view like I had caught them doing something suspicious. Made me smile seeing two guys in what I think is the hardest job out there keeping a sense of humor like that.
My question: is duolingo kidnaping familys
I supported Oakland police dep in CA 15yrs after I volunteered eod of sheriff dep I saw so many liters in law enforcement world I hope you guys are good cops . Thx for service I was bartender of cop bar so many years I made sure I give strong drink for law enforcement
