I've been to DC, that's the last place I'd want to be a cop.
Come to wild wonderful West Virginia. We haven't had a cop killed here in several years. Pay isn't that good, but you have a lot of places to run the Jeep, over mountains and through mud.
I have to admit that the West Virginia State Police treated me with respect, as they put the cuffs on my wrists. The cop made sure that they weren't to tight, and was nice to me the whole time.
The one time I was pulled over fort speeding, the cop said, "Well, I've been writing tickets for 80 and 90 all day, since you were only doing 70, I'll just give you a warning ticket".
That was very cool, since he had me dead to rights, doing 70 in a 55 zone. The same highway is now a 70 zone.

Certainly there are risk to urban departments, but after I put in a few years with DC or Baltimore, just about any department in the States would give their right AND left arms for an officer with the experience I'd've earned.

If your gonna be a cop, I have one piece of advice for you. Don't get into the police brutality stuff. a few years ago a couple of cops in the city south of my town, dropped a guy off at the edge of town in january, it was -33 degrees celcius (no idea what that is in the states) but he had only a t-shirt and a pair of sweats on, no shoes. needless to say he was found frozen solid the next morning, and the cops are just now getting fired. I toyed with being a cop a when i came of age, but i dismissed the idea because about the most action in this town is rounding up rowdy drunks at the shopping mall.
