    In GA they can work jobs after hours in uniform and with the police car as long as it was approved. The money is side money to the officers not sure about overtime, etc. I used to know the two young guys who would coordinate traffic at my local liquor store on New Years Eve. My city was a dry city and the nearest liquor store was 9 miles away so it would get quite busy on holiday eve's.

    I too have relatives who are COPS. They have to work three jobs to make a decent living. I have a life long friend in Portland who is a COP downtown and after 30 years he makes shit. Many law enforcement agencies across the country are begging for qualified candidates to fill their ranks.

    They get treated like shit especially in the inner cities. You have democrats all over the country cursing them when they don't need them and condemning them when they don't show up fast enough. What the hell do you expect?

    Those I know hate dirty COPS. Hate them. If there is one thing that makes me throw up it is democrats in dem run cities bitching about the environment they have created.

    Bullshit. I know many cops. Not a fucking one has any additional jobs. They all do fine.
    Apparently, you have only met cops in large cities that are highly unionized.

    POWERFUL public unions . . . Where it is difficult to fire “public servants” who arguably should be or should have been fired . . . Tremendous pay, health and retirement benefits.

    Pension information is available online for ALL folks receiving state, city, county retirements in CA and OR (PERS).

    Hope this helps!

    So what's the difference between unionized and HIGHLY unionized? Extra super duper unionized

    There isn’t . . . Should have said some unions are more effective than others . . . Rural police officers and deputy sheriffs don’t benefit from strong unions as a general rule.

    This is why it's harder to fire cops. Union had nothing to do with at my department.
