>> It's a very rewarding field.
For instance, a child being abused, you know.
I mean, the ability to, you know, take that child out of that abusive environment
and get some type of justice, that's a rewarding part.
I mean, you have to-- you go into law enforcement knowing that there's a certain risk
and there's probably more sort of risk with the Kentucky State Police
than many other agencies just 'cause you don't have the backup.
You're more autonomous.
That's where your training comes in.
That's where-- That's why I believe our training is more rigorous, more physical,
mainly it's more of a militaristic type training--
the job from a personal life and you just go into something like that and you have a job
to do and you got to do it to the best of your ability to--
so the outcome is right and it's-- you got almost detached from it.
>> Ted, have you seen men and women come in to the field
and they haven't really been able to stick around--
>> Absolutely.
>> Yeah, what separates the ones that can make it versus the ones that just do wash out?
>> You know, being able to detach like I was speaking of and leaving the job
at work and separate your home life.
But I mean, it's very difficult.
I mean, there's high divorce rate in police work and that's the reason,
long hours, night hours, always on call.
As a detective, I'm always on call.
