The day-to-day life of a law enforcement officer may not be the life you imagine. After all a job is a job and everyone does the best they can at their job in order to get ahead and make money in order to pay the bills.
Most folks watch TV and movies and think they know all there is to know about police officers and detectives, but let me tell you, what you see on TV and in the movies is not the life I have lived or the life those I know have lived.
Started out as a police ...cadet in the 1970s, studied criminology, became a civilian police officer and then over the years changed from civilian law enforcement and moved to the military where my life changed as a military policeman, military police investigator, military customs investigator, military drug investigator, military fraud investigator, semi-undercover drug agent, and special agent criminal investigator.

Sometime after retiring from the Army went back to work with the Army as a civilian working as a criminal intelligence analyst, then to Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as an investigator writing policy and doing inspector general investigation follow-ups. Also developed and worked the DLA fraud hot line which led me to a new job.
Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) split from DLA taking me and others with them to run their fraud hot line and investigate fraud allegations and write policy.
After being on the road traveling way too much moved from the DCMA as an investigator and special agent to the DoD Inspector General (IG) as an Intelligence Review Specialist and Criminal Investigator Special Agent writing DoD investigative policy, investigating and researching the occasional criminal inquiry, evaluation, and internal affairs review.
Life in the civilian police world and the military police world is not always lived the way you might think and in most instances is nothing like you read about or watch on TV and in the movies.
