Work / Any Law Enforcement Officers (Police) from Poland here? [40]

Im glad you said from the horses mouth and not the other end..lol

I couldnt imagine working without a firearm..On my normal shift, my departmant arms me with a pistol (Glock 40 cal) and in my patrol car there is a shotgun and a Colt AR15 rifle. Each has a specific job..sort of like a carpenter bringing differant tools for differant jobs. Id give anyone a lot of credit to put on a Police uniform and walk around unarmed.

How do they confront an armed suspect. To me its a big officer safety issue...Id love to read a bit about the pro's and con's...got a link ?

Work / Any Law Enforcement Officers (Police) from Poland here? [40]

Im a full time Law Enforcement Officer with the Lewiston PD (Just North of Niagara Falls, NY)..Im a few years away from retirement and am operating an exporting business to subsidize my impending retirement.

And I agree, nice detective work. I actually joined here for business contacts, but after reading the many posts, Ive become quite interested...

Maybe they allow moonlighting in the Police Force in the US.

Actually, Id say half of the Officers I know work a second job or own a side business. I work midnights / 12 hour shifts and have a lot of time off from the PD..allows me time to pursue a second career...

Law / Trying to do business with Polish businessmen... but it's not easy. [41]

Its tough today to meet business partners because of all the scam artist and ripoffs. Everytime I send an e-mail to a prospective partner I get the feeling that they will think it's a scam and delete my mail before its read ! Its tough not knowing anyone in a country you are trying to break into. Ive been trying to find a partner in poland for some time, but am also leary of getting ripped off...aahhh for the days when a handshake meant something !
