I want to see Rallypoint gain more members. I think opening up membership to the law enforcement community is a good way to do it without disturbing the integrity of the website in a major way. Lets get to 2 million!

Mixing apples and oranges. Law Enforcement has their own brotherhood, and a completely different mindset

Not unless they are prior or current military, as well. Secondly, I personally have not and will not encourage my friends who are both. The RP community is hardly what I would say to be "law enforcement" friendly. That is, of course, from experience, though, with notable exceptions.

I served in the corps and in Law enforcement. When on patrol in the jungle or in the streets I always knew what partners I could count on. The law enforcement community is Para- Military I wore both uniforms with pride, and just served different roles. No matter your views there are bad soldiers, bad people and bad cops, but over all they love this country and are trying to do the right thing. When others are running from gun fire they are running in Just like you would do. Remember when your family is in danger and you are not there to protect them they will show up and they also will risk their lives to protect your child. No matter what you believe if you look deep in your heart you know they too are warriors. They too bleed and cry when they lose a partner in combat.

As a Veteran, and LEO, I can attest that LEOs are pretty much at war now and can use all the support available.

That depends where you are Greg some cops do not chose the situation they are forced into it. To say they have a choice is wrong. This is not a page to debate this I understand what others hear are saying but when I received a call that someone has a gun and is shooting, or man seen dragging female or child into a car (I am at war to save that person) I could not say I am busy or let someone else do it. I went and thought of my family as I did so, but I also did what I had too. I know for fact there were many like me. So saying only if they want to is wrong, lets say some but never all.

Ok I will not disagree with you this story was about letting law enforcement in or not. But I will end with I spent my time in Vietnam as an M-60 gunner and I served two decades in the streets of Los Angeles, where I received numerous commendations for saving lives and I too was employed to protect and serve which I did.I feel we need cops like me also those willing to stand up and not allowing the thugs to victimize innocent people. No body is supposed to use excess force but sometimes you are there and you have a right to survive also. Have a great day and be safe and thank you for your service.

I don't think that RP should add police except for police recruiters to help soldiers and veterans get a police job.

Civilians are already allowed on... how would LE be any different? Or are you just talking about giving them a special identifier? Like the "V" "SM" "R"? They could get "LE" and then we could also add "FD" for Fire Department folks, "PS" for Postal Service, "EO" for Elected Officials... The list of identifiers could go forever... I'm not sure how special tags influence more people to get on board.

No. Just think of it in the reverse. If all of us military RPers moved in on an LEO website, would we really be part of that community and provide value added from an LEO perspective? I don't think so, and I'd guess that the LEOs would feel like their website was being overrun and diluted with military types. Different communities with different cultures, experiences and concerns.

I don't think so. I still wish they tightened up the civilians they allow on. I would go immediate family members only.
