>> I like being able to help people.
And I like the fact that I'm able, it changes every day.
It's a different day.
I don't go into work every day and do the same thing even though some days it might feel
like the same thing; it's never exactly the same.
It's never identical.
There's always something different.
Like I said, I meet new people every day.
The other part is I get to solve problems.
I get to help people and solve their problems and sometimes I can and sometimes I can't.
But, you know, whenever I am able to solve problems for people, it is it is gratifying,
you know, and it might not be on the news, it might not be, you know,
front page on the paper but, you know, knowing that I was able to help somebody
and they appreciate it then that's that's what I really like about my job.
Hardest part is that, and I tell people this all the time,
is that we see the ugly side of society.
People don't realize that no one dials 911 to say, "Hey officer, I'm having a great day."
We deal with everybody's crisis, you know, whenever, if someone's to the point,
most people when they're to the point of dialing 911 and calling the police for help,
it's whenever they're at the lowest point of whatever situation they're dealing with.
So even though for me, I've dealt with everything from shootings to parking complaints,
somebody calling me because, you know, their dog got out, you know, that's that's, you know,
that's they're in agony, they're in pain.
So it's like when you're constantly dealing with that for 12 hours a day
where someone's calling you to tell, you know, the worse and, you know, you can see they're
in pain, I mean you still have to deal with it and process it, I mean, you know,
a lot of people say cops become callous and cold and that's because we kind of have to be.
You can't, you know, a lot of people couldn't do this job because you're you're you're dealing
with people's negative emotions 12 hours a day or however many hours you work and then you got
to just kind of push through it and go to the next call.
I mean seeing children that are hurt and victimized,
even just seeing anybody that's victimized that's a real legit victim.
I mean you can't, it's hard to deal with that day in and day out.
So I'd say that's probably the hardest part.
