May 10-16 is National Police Week. How many of our fellow RP members serve or have served in law enforcement?

Federal Agent for 5 years!!!

I have been in the Army National Guard for 26 years, the last 19 as an MP, where I currently serve as the commander of a Law and Order Detachment. On the civilian side, I have been a police officer for over 17 years. This year, I organized the local Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony.

GySgt Wayne A. Ekblad, I've been in law enforcement for 25 years in one way, shape, or form. I was in LE before the first Gulf War. When I saw all my fellow LEOs who were reservists getting called to active duty to don a uniform and go fight, I got patriotic and joined the service.

Some 23 years later, here I am...still in LE, just with a different uniform. Although my 6490 designator (MOS) does far more than LE, it remains a focus point in most assignments, as I'm usually the Provost Marshal, as well as the Force Protection guy.

Have not been but have had several in my family that were.

This guy

I have been a Deputy Sheriff now for over 9 years in Northern California El Dorado and Sacramento Counties. Still serving with the Army in the National Guard now for 14 years. I only went into law enforcement because I had met my ex wife. She didn't want to be an active duty military wife and she wanted to be a police officer like many of her family members. I thought about law enforcement as a fall back plan but once I met her it became my primary objective. So I put on the badge and started serving in the military part time. I reclassified from mechanic to MP and I really enjoy serving in both capacities. God had blessed me with the skills to protect the weak and innocent and with the capacity to use violent force if necessary to stop evil. LTC Ret. David Grossman has taught me a lot about how to effectively function in this life choice. I think serving in the military first and seeing such horrible things around the world has enabled me to be a more compassionate Deputy Sheriff.

Served for thirty years.
