Even when I was a cop I traveled 50 miles to go to a bar in hopes of not "bumping" into anyone I had arrested. I carried my weapon in until I saw it was all clear. If I started drinking I took my weapon and secured it in my car. Never drink while armed, never. If you can;t let go of your weapon, let go of the bottle.

We had a unwritten rule in SoCal, "Never sh*t where you sleep." So very few cops actually lived where they worked. The downside is that it made for some long commutes to work for most of us. Even the chief of police didn't live in town and I worked in a nice area. As I travelled the country, it was interesting to learn that everywhere else in the US, it was the opposite.

SMSgt Thor Merich - That seems odd to me as we were required to live in the county we worked in. Made things rough sometimes, but many off duty Deputies were our back up as we were a rural county. Large area few Deputies.

When I first got hired, back in the mid 1980's, they just rescinded the rule about living in the city. I was one of the few guys hired that was not born and raised in the city. As time went on, fewer and fewer officers lived in town. Some of it was created because we couldn't afford to live there due to the high price of housing. However, with few officers actually living there it did create a problem in which officers were not connected to the community like in the past.

Common Sense-
So rare, it's a fucking superpower.
I don't know why the demotivational part didn't come through.
