When my eldest was 4, we were walking into a BBQ restaurant as two officers were walking out. She looked up at them wide-eyed, and said quite loudly in an incredulous voice "Mommy, I thought they only ate donuts!" They laughed the whole way back to their car.
recklacetotheer, Some companies use them for the dress code violations.Kind of like “what not to wear” and why you can’t wear it. It’s pointless because as soon as the next day someone has redone the same outfit. 😏
When I first started as an officer my Chief asked me if I was going to have a problem working in my home town. I said " heck no, I know everyone in town ". Boy was I wrong. I dealt with weird people I had no idea even existed.
i wish my experience with the police had been good ones, the first real encounter i had was in cincinnati, i was 15 and had just been robbed, somehow that managed to go south so badly, but it always did, i dunno if it's because of my autism or lack of social skills, my size (i'm a big person) or what, but the police can never turn their damn brain off and stop trying to "figure out" what i'm hiding, because i'm never hiding anything, but i have autism so i don't communicate well verbally, i don't make eye contact i get very anxious and stressed out because i have sensory overload issues, so lights and the sirens stress me out, i do my best to contain it but eventually i will get irritated and then i'm in shut down mode, i'll just try and leave , to remove myself from the things causing the stress, thats when they get physical and then i have a full on meltdown mace and tasers are not effective i just pull the barbs out. i type great though, i wish i could text the police to be honest, when interacting with them, it's almost always a disaster i'm pretty sure my past interactions with the police have caused ptsd, i had my arm broken in highschool during a meltdown that was really bad but i understand at that point what else can they do with a 6'3" 200lb 13 year old with autism, but to this day just seeing a police car causes anxiety, even though i have nothing against police officers. ..it's kind of like how you feel i guess, "can i trust this person enough to tell them i'm a cop" ..for a lot of us it's "can i trust this person to be decent and respectful and human, because he's a cop"
It's called loyalty. Police officers have a discipline, loyalty, and brotherhood developed by such a dangerous and stressful job. They risk their lives to protect people who, for the majority, don't appreciate it.

Hardest transition for me was, when my wife and I went to a house party and everyone was talking about work, there wasn't really a lot I could say that they could relate to. They were all pretty good people and never had any dealings with Police Officers, and didn't want to hear about bar fights, domestics, DWIs, etc. Within a couple of years I found that the only people I hung with were other Police Officers and City Firefighters.
I'm a volunteer fire fighter and medical response (EMT by the end of this year), and I just have to say, we sometimes forget to turn our lights off too. We realize it when we are backing into the bay and have a light show behind us. It makes me happy to know y'all have done it too!

Good video guys! Sad though that you have to sometimes hide what you do from people i.e. not tell people you’re a cop because of all the haters out there. But lots of us still have mad respect✊🏻 for what you do. Keep up the good work. 👍👮👮
My friend is a LEO, and he had to arrest an old high school friend who got belligerent at a bar. Ended up needing to take him down hard. He said it was pretty awkward. Also, said he had to stop going to parties at certain friends' homes, because he would either have to arrest them or get in a ton of trouble (I wish he would explain that one more).
I have nothing but respect for all law enforcement. Thank you for putting your lives on the line everytime you put on that uniform. To police offers and first responders everyone, thank you for all you guys do to help keep us safe. You are True Heroes!
Hey, my name is Campbell and I just found your channel at 1:24 AM in the morning. I'm a naturally compassionate person, so I'd like to say thank you for all of your service and everything you do for our country. Every time i've dealt with a police officer it has been a great time other than the one power drunk cop who pulled me over for going a few miles too fast over the speed limit on my BICYCLE. hehe, but anyway, thank you. I suffer from adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism, so my thyroids and adrenal glands don't produce proper hormones or regulate my body properly. I've been to the hospital over 20 times, about 15 times by ambulance, and I'd like to thank you police officers for the many escorts through traffic lights for the ambulance, and checkups at my house to make sure my health is good while on routine strolls through my neighborhood. I truly realized how amazing you guys are when I was recently arrested, for getting in a car accident in a parking lot while under the influence. The parked car I rolled into either was stolen, had no insurance, or was dirty in some way (what's your opinion?) so the driver ran through the parking lot and got in the car and ran off after I hit his vehicle while I was parking to make sure everything was okay, so I guess it was a "hit and RAN." I am a kind person, so when I arrived at home (100 feet away, I emphasize this because I said I was under the influence), I called the police on myself to report the accident and my driving while intoxicated. Because I could've been to myself and not called the police, the police officers who arrived on scene were very kind to me and thankful for me acting the way I did, and arrested me very nicely (as much of an oxymoron as that may sound) as well as letting me play Pink Floyd in his patrol car on the way to the station, because I was nice to him and all of his coworkers (fellow police officers, what's the right term?) and I described my music tastes, albeit quite more relaxed than his tastes, metal and screamo music, which I was surprised to hear from a police officer. At the age of 17, I have a deep respect that's been set in concrete in my head for the police force. While it may not be considered the police, I also have a huge amount of respect for the fire department and paramedics who protect and serve our country. Thank you for everything you and all of your buddies do for our country, whether it be arresting those who need to be arrested, not pulling me over for having too much camber in my MK7 golf or not ruining all the car meets I go to, or assisting the paramedics in their ventures to save my life, or saving my girlfriend's life when she was both sexually assaulted and attempted suicide. I love you police officers with all my heart, whether you're a rookie, a veteran, a state trooper, a secretary at the precinct, etc. Once more, Thank you. I hope you see this, Campbell.
Sure as hell! That was THE most badass thing to do imho. I just imagine him ranting about something and in the middle of the rant he looks the civilian dead in the eyes and says that. After that he goes on ranting. EPIC 😂
DemarkableP I usually don’t mind either but this one time I saw someone recording while sitting on the pointy part of a fire hydrant and I was like how the hell is he sitting that far down on that thing.
I was never a cop, but was in the Navy and I can relate to stepping into a normal conversation while off duty and when the question of "what do you do for a living" comes up. Not for the exact reason because I never felt they might not like me or want to hurt me, but because the most common questions when you tell somebody you are in the military are "did you kill anyone", "did you ever jump out of a plane?" No and No, I was a Hull maintenance technician on a Frigate and mainly maintained a damage control locker because My ship only had 2 Damage control guys, 3 damage control lockers and 4 HTs and since there was more of my rate than needed and we were short DC guys I got picked to help the DCs. I refilled SCBA tanks and made sure they were good to go in case of a fire.
How can we make these damn bright white headlight illegal? Im a mechanic n iv talked to countless pll who agree they blind ppl when they drive i even had 1 customer say he refuses to drive at night because of them
certified Sex Ninja Omg...so true. I HATE them. I'm THIS close to getting them just bc I'm tired of ppl behind me who have them putting my car in a shadow where I still can't see.
Jennifer Herzog i know being a mechanic id b so easy 4 me 2 do the same but i literly have a sticker on the back of my truck that says if u have white headlights i hate u lol
Those really bright neon blue lights are horrible... I think they're high beams so I flash mine and then I'm really blinded when they actualy go brighter.. This should be a law of how many lumens allowed in headlights.
I have an aunt who is an officer or was. She now does different work at a college to help other officers. She doesn't use her real name on social media because of the issues people have for the profession.
Great job you both do. I enjoyed the video and keep up the great work and look forward to your next video from Kate in scotland. You both seem like two lovely down to earth guys with huge hearts of gold. By how you both come across and that your always being considerate thinking of others abdvputting others first. That's a wonderful way to be in life. Trust me not everyone dislikes police. People just need to think more and realise that your doing a job like every other human being and a very hard and challenging job. Very long hours and to have respect for the police . Especially when they may need your help some day in Their life. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos
Anyone else smoking a bowl whilst listening to this? In any case, great video! I will have to check out both your channels. My buddy was on the force for 30 years until he got diagnosed with prostate cancer a few years back. It's a thankless job these days.
Great video 👍🏻 I was married to a police officer and mentally the uniform never came off, he was a public servant if anyone asked. The sacrifices you all make every day are unmeasurable 😊
I no longer use my turn signals because lately every time I turn on my turn signal a car in the adjacent lane that is 1.5 to 2 or more car lengths back guns it to block me from being able to change lanes I do not understand why people do this type of crap now
I wish cops were required to do stuff like this as far as a community policing campaign. After seeing this, I feel like I could have a beer with yall and if I saw you on the job I would not be scared of getting shot or something.
**QUESTION** if you’re driving your patrol car for personal use, are you required to be in uniform? You said if you’re in your patrol car for personal use and something happens like an accident, you’re required to act. So would you have to be in uniform? Thanks
No would wouldn't, at least you aren't where I live. It would depend on department policy and in some cases your local laws. For example, where I live an officer has to either be in a marked squad car or in full uniform to make a traffic stop. So in theory you could be off duty in street clothes and stop someone for a traffic infraction legally. Some departments will require that you be armed whenever you are in your squad.
Aaron T not at my local department, they allow take home cars (with a mileage restriction on how far from the PD your house is) and you can use your car for personal use as long as you’re in the city or have business in the city that trip, I believe they also require a sidearm and badge but IMO you would be stupid to be driving a marked unit without sidearm and badge on you.
Because you're handsome Staten ;) (I hope I spelled that correctly? Haha)..Kidding, you are very handsome. But you are entertaining to watch. Thank you both for your time and the entertaining Q&A. :) ♡ Hopefully we can make this a weekly vlog Q&A type scenario. That would be wonderful. :) Much love, Misters! Thank you so much for your service! :) ♡
About the taking your car home and using it as a personal car... a buddy of mine is a Connecticut State Trooper, and since their patrol vehicles have no livery, they are just grey, you are allowed to take your car home, detach the lightbar, lamp, etc, and use it as a personal vehicle. It's kinda cool and interesting
The thing is that video camera evidence from a third party cell phone is problematic because it can't be authenticated. Most phones record in the .mp4 format which is digitally compressed. From the forensic standpoint you need a non-compressed format for a reputable digital forensics expert to be able to testify that the video hasn't been tampered with to a high degree of certainty. (i.e. an avi or a mov file). This is because of the fact that the tools we use to verify the integrity of video footage don't work with compressed formats that require a codec.
*I'm not sure how to word this into a question so I guess I'll just explain myself. (Also, the user name is just a joke! But probably true lol) Something I often think about is when there are marches or protests against police brutality or if a police officer shoots and kills an unarmed man or woman (for example) and the family/friends/public are protesting against the police departments across America or that particular department .. How does it make you feel? Do you ever feel like it's the police (nationwide) against the public? Do you ever wish you could just tell some of these people that you understand and actually agree with them? I hope this statement/question makes sense.. And one more if you're ever able to.. I'm a 29 year old female who's been addicted to heroin/opiates for roughly 10 years. I spend a lot of time in the inner cities. I obviously get to know and talk to not just my dealers but ppl in the neighborhood(s) and something I hear constantly is "oh shit.. Here come the police.." and this person might have nothing on them.. They aren't doing anything wrong.. No warrants.. But in their minds and I know bc I've asked.. They always think it's better to avoid and ignore the police regardless of the situation at that moment. They are convinced the police don't give a fuck about anything but fucking them over if they have the chance or honestly and truly catching them if they really are doing something wrong and for those reasons they won't even say hello to a police officer. Do you think if police officers that patrol the inner cities were to slowly try and interact with some of these ppl maybe over a quick game of basketball (we've all seen those videos) or even just getting out and speaking to these ppl especially the young men.. Do you think it would make things better for everyone? Like, do you think it's possible and important for the police to try and build some type of relationship when they're able to with the ppl in their community? I probably sound insane but I really think about both of these things often and I hope you understand what I'm saying/asking*
Where I work our cruisers have to stay at the station, Supervisory are the only ones allowed to take their vehicle home at night. I have a Tahoe I drive 24/7 but am sworn to act on and off duty.
Really crazy that I came across your videos for the first time ever today. I was just talking to my husband about how he felt about me wanting to change my career path. I told him I was strongly thinking about going into law enforcement. Do you think it would be a smart decision with my husband being an active duty Marine?
Hey man, I'm 19 and graduated a year ago, i keep thinking i wanna be a cop (detective later one hopefully) but i have a few things i feel hold me back. For one i haven't had a serious job with much responsibility, and i heard the hiring process is hard, and that leads me to believe i wouldn't get hired. On top of that, i don't really know the streets around my area too well, and sometimes get a little anxious driving in the highway (inexperience i believe), other than that, I'm in really great shape, I'm a combat sports athlete, do you think i should pursue it? Any specific advice?
King Kong Hi, I'm not a cop yet, but I do know that your best shot is to either join the military or go to college for criminal justice. Better yet, do both; it'll make you high up on the list of applicants.
King Kong If you really truly want something enough, you can find a way to make it happen. Perhaps you should ask some of the police officers from your local police department, as they are going to provide you the most accurate information for where you live. In the world we live in today, a college education is going to help you in most job applications. There are many different degrees that can be of great use to a law enforcement officer, and so it would be a good idea for you to really look into your options and figure out what the best fit is for you. Not to mention, if you don't end up being hired in law enforcement, that college degree will aid you in alternative career choices. As the other reply mentioned, the military is also a good option for giving you a better chance of landing the job as a LEO, but you need to go into the military for the right reasons, not just because it would look better on a job application. The military isn't for everyone, and that's ok. Plenty of police officers have no military background. Driving anxiety is definitely something that gets better with time, so I really wouldn't let that be the thing that holds you back. As for the job history aspect, start working now. Even if it's a part time minimum wage job, it's going to help you not only in the application process (that goes for any job you're applying for) but it will also help you transition into a working environment. Additionally, get involved in service and charity work. Volunteer with organizations that serve the public, especially organizations that reach out to the same demographic and population that police do. Even more helpful, would be to try to work your way into more of a leadership position in the organization your volunteering for. Dedicated service work looks good on any job application, but that is especially so when you're applying for a job that deals specifically with public service and outreach. Whatever path you decide to take, I wish you the very best! Anything is possible with hard work and dedication. God bless! 😊
King Kong Tip from one of my ex's friends, he took a part time job as pizza delivery so he could learn the roads by heart. You'd learn the area, get more practice driving and pick up some extra money.
3 years later, I'm in the military. Still want to be a cop when I get out, looking back, my concerns in this comment seem very insignificant now. I'm on my way 😁
Before my nephew became a policeman he and my dad talked about how his job would spend 99% of his time with the bottom 10% of society. I think it’d be a stressful job that only special people can handle. I know I couldn’t. Ty for the vid. It was great!
I love this. Tik Tok is so prevelant right now, I think you should generate some videos on there if you haven't already. I'm currently out of law enforcement, but I plan on making some videos in the future to show others what it was like as a female in law enforcement.
Is police academy worse than BCT?BCT sucked mentally but it wasn’t bad now looking back. VCU police academy is in May so how is the academy, what should I be prepared for?
I hate to be the one to tell you this,but you cannot seize someone’s cellphone without a warrant.Even if a video exists,it is a constitutional right to film in public,and seizing their phone without a warrant is the same as stealing it.No expectation of privacy in public spaces is a thing.How would you articulate seizing the phone of a bystander who had not committed a crime?
When a cop is obviously abusing his authority, why do other cops not interfere??? They just stand there and watch. Like when that cop arrested that nurse in Utah.
I’m curious how y’all are getting around the 4th amendment when you seize the property of someone not remotely suspected of committing a crime. It seems like a really quick way to turn a cooperative witness into an uncooperative individual. When someone is filming they often see more than what is in frame, including what happened before the recording began. Wouldn’t it be better to get the recording emailed to a work email along with a detailed witness statement, then to get only the actual recording along with a “I didn’t see anything” statement?
Daniel Curtin funny how there isn't anyone remotely concerned about this top and also why we are on this note, in your eyes as cops, what justifies a road block, seeing as every road block is unconstitutional?
I would bet that 9 out of 10 times that is exactly what happens. cooperative witnesses make for a better case in court. although in some cases if you were to say, make some sort of comments while filming the phone might get taken 'just because' since I am sure there is a process that takes a month and is really inconvenient and it would be a perfect passive agressive way to get back at a jerk......
Awesome content, Officer401! You are a very inspiring officer, and thank you for what you do for your fans and your community! Stay safe and God bless you!! Keep up the great content.

The thing about mannequins is relatable to me. I am a security guard in New Zealand and I respond alarm activations as part of my job. In NZ security guards are not permitted to carry any kind of weapons. In the last couple of weeks I have responded 3 alarms that had unexpected mannequins onsite. Each time I nearly shit myself. At the last actual burglary I responded (2 weeks ago) a police dog handler also attended. He had a tazer, a German shepherd , a baton and a Glock 17. Most New Zealand cops don't carry guns on their person, but I was told dog handlers do because they are first responders. I got there three minutes before him.
Less than half way through, I was looking for the like button 😉 Hey Officer401, question for ya. So yalls were talking about the patrol car- if you can take your patrol car home and what are your limitations (if any) on the use of the vehicle, off-duty... If, say, you were off duty making a Wal-Mart run, but saw a vehicle accident and stopped to act upon the situation, do you get paid at that moment?
A lot of the guys at the department recommended your shit, and it is badass. Where do you work, man? I know I missed that somewhere in all these videos.
i can only take my car home on days i work. so if i work 3 days i can take it home, but the two days off i have to leave it at headquarters. its pretty annoying

I have nothing but respect for all law enforcement. Thank you for putting your lives on the line everytime you put on that uniform. To police offers and first responders everyone, thank you for all you guys do to help keep us safe. You are True Heroes!
All the officers in my area are mean, y’all seem nice 😹
Well they dont have you pulled over right now. Who knows how they act...
Hey, my name is Campbell and I just found your channel at 1:24 AM in the morning. I'm a naturally compassionate person, so I'd like to say thank you for all of your service and everything you do for our country. Every time i've dealt with a police officer it has been a great time other than the one power drunk cop who pulled me over for going a few miles too fast over the speed limit on my BICYCLE. hehe, but anyway, thank you. I suffer from adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism, so my thyroids and adrenal glands don't produce proper hormones or regulate my body properly. I've been to the hospital over 20 times, about 15 times by ambulance, and I'd like to thank you police officers for the many escorts through traffic lights for the ambulance, and checkups at my house to make sure my health is good while on routine strolls through my neighborhood. I truly realized how amazing you guys are when I was recently arrested, for getting in a car accident in a parking lot while under the influence. The parked car I rolled into either was stolen, had no insurance, or was dirty in some way (what's your opinion?) so the driver ran through the parking lot and got in the car and ran off after I hit his vehicle while I was parking to make sure everything was okay, so I guess it was a "hit and RAN." I am a kind person, so when I arrived at home (100 feet away, I emphasize this because I said I was under the influence), I called the police on myself to report the accident and my driving while intoxicated. Because I could've been to myself and not called the police, the police officers who arrived on scene were very kind to me and thankful for me acting the way I did, and arrested me very nicely (as much of an oxymoron as that may sound) as well as letting me play Pink Floyd in his patrol car on the way to the station, because I was nice to him and all of his coworkers (fellow police officers, what's the right term?) and I described my music tastes, albeit quite more relaxed than his tastes, metal and screamo music, which I was surprised to hear from a police officer. At the age of 17, I have a deep respect that's been set in concrete in my head for the police force. While it may not be considered the police, I also have a huge amount of respect for the fire department and paramedics who protect and serve our country. Thank you for everything you and all of your buddies do for our country, whether it be arresting those who need to be arrested, not pulling me over for having too much camber in my MK7 golf or not ruining all the car meets I go to, or assisting the paramedics in their ventures to save my life, or saving my girlfriend's life when she was both sexually assaulted and attempted suicide. I love you police officers with all my heart, whether you're a rookie, a veteran, a state trooper, a secretary at the precinct, etc. Once more, Thank you.
I hope you see this,
Campbell.
"Yeah, that's right" that story made my day 😂😂 Boston needs to be on the show.
#Fabi agreed 100%
Sure as hell! That was THE most badass thing to do imho. I just imagine him ranting about something and in the middle of the rant he looks the civilian dead in the eyes and says that. After that he goes on ranting. EPIC 😂
Very well said, my man. 😂😂 I replayed that part three times already.
We always wave at our local cops. I have nothing to hide and my kids see my attitude without fear. I think that speaks volumes.
Imagine says ur a ballon pilot for a coast guard and getting accused of stolen valor by an actual ballon pilot lol
Staten has such a contagious smile. I love the dude.
another awesome video being watched keep it up
Just scrolled across your channel and love it. Thank you both for your service. Stay safe out there.
Thank you ma'am!
You're welcs!!
If I meet this guy in a bar and he says I'm a coast guard blimp pilot...1 I'm going to die laughing and 2 I'm going to buy that guy a drink
That’s funny. My hubby tells people he works for DOT. Exactly your reasons is what he’s explained to our kids. Be safe guys. 🙏🏻🙌🏻
I always thank people when they start recording me and without fail they always stop 1-2 minutes after I thank them.
DemarkableP I usually don’t mind either but this one time I saw someone recording while sitting on the pointy part of a fire hydrant and I was like how the hell is he sitting that far down on that thing.
xD
It’s not because you thank them, it’s because they realize you’re not worth a little bit of their battery life
jeejee that doesn’t even make sense. Fuckin troll can’t even properly shit post.
I was never a cop, but was in the Navy and I can relate to stepping into a normal conversation while off duty and when the question of "what do you do for a living" comes up. Not for the exact reason because I never felt they might not like me or want to hurt me, but because the most common questions when you tell somebody you are in the military are "did you kill anyone", "did you ever jump out of a plane?" No and No, I was a Hull maintenance technician on a Frigate and mainly maintained a damage control locker because My ship only had 2 Damage control guys, 3 damage control lockers and 4 HTs and since there was more of my rate than needed and we were short DC guys I got picked to help the DCs. I refilled SCBA tanks and made sure they were good to go in case of a fire.
How can we make these damn bright white headlight illegal? Im a mechanic n iv talked to countless pll who agree they blind ppl when they drive i even had 1 customer say he refuses to drive at night because of them
certified Sex Ninja Omg...so true. I HATE them. I'm THIS close to getting them just bc I'm tired of ppl behind me who have them putting my car in a shadow where I still can't see.
Jennifer Herzog i know being a mechanic id b so easy 4 me 2 do the same but i literly have a sticker on the back of my truck that says if u have white headlights i hate u lol
Those really bright neon blue lights are horrible... I think they're high beams so I flash mine and then I'm really blinded when they actualy go brighter.. This should be a law of how many lumens allowed in headlights.
Sorry 😂
Mike Larson Arsehole lol
I have an aunt who is an officer or was. She now does different work at a college to help other officers. She doesn't use her real name on social media because of the issues people have for the profession.
Great job you both do. I enjoyed the video and keep up the great work and look forward to your next video from Kate in scotland. You both seem like two lovely down to earth guys with huge hearts of gold. By how you both come across and that your always being considerate thinking of others abdvputting others first. That's a wonderful way to be in life. Trust me not everyone dislikes police. People just need to think more and realise that your doing a job like every other human being and a very hard and challenging job. Very long hours and to have respect for the police . Especially when they may need your help some day in Their life. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos
Anyone else smoking a bowl whilst listening to this? In any case, great video! I will have to check out both your channels. My buddy was on the force for 30 years until he got diagnosed with prostate cancer a few years back. It's a thankless job these days.
Those dimples though 😍
i 💙 cops!!! no lie. thank you for taking on an underappreciated necessity for our life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and general well-being.
Great video 👍🏻 I was married to a police officer and mentally the uniform never came off, he was a public servant if anyone asked. The sacrifices you all make every day are unmeasurable 😊
When I pull someone over and approach the vehicle I always say " Crikey! You're an idiot!"
Thanks for answering my question officer401 you really made my day! 😄
I no longer use my turn signals because lately every time I turn on my turn signal a car in the adjacent lane that is 1.5 to 2 or more car lengths back guns it to block me from being able to change lanes I do not understand why people do this type of crap now
Connecticut State Police has removable lightbars so officers can take them home after work for personal use.
I wish cops were required to do stuff like this as far as a community policing campaign. After seeing this, I feel like I could have a beer with yall and if I saw you on the job I would not be scared of getting shot or something.
**QUESTION** if you’re driving your patrol car for personal use, are you required to be in uniform? You said if you’re in your patrol car for personal use and something happens like an accident, you’re required to act. So would you have to be in uniform? Thanks
No would wouldn't, at least you aren't where I live. It would depend on department policy and in some cases your local laws. For example, where I live an officer has to either be in a marked squad car or in full uniform to make a traffic stop. So in theory you could be off duty in street clothes and stop someone for a traffic infraction legally. Some departments will require that you be armed whenever you are in your squad.
Aaron T not at my local department, they allow take home cars (with a mileage restriction on how far from the PD your house is) and you can use your car for personal use as long as you’re in the city or have business in the city that trip, I believe they also require a sidearm and badge but IMO you would be stupid to be driving a marked unit without sidearm and badge on you.
The department in my town requires you to be in uniform if you are in your patrol car.
Do they have take home cars and if so do you know if they are to and from work only?
Chris Jones mmm I'll ask my friend real quick
I got pulled over the other day by the nicest cop EVER. You guys seem like pretty good cops, good on you, keep serving boys!
Because you're handsome Staten ;) (I hope I spelled that correctly? Haha)..Kidding, you are very handsome. But you are entertaining to watch. Thank you both for your time and the entertaining Q&A. :) ♡ Hopefully we can make this a weekly vlog Q&A type scenario. That would be wonderful. :) Much love, Misters! Thank you so much for your service! :) ♡
About the taking your car home and using it as a personal car... a buddy of mine is a Connecticut State Trooper, and since their patrol vehicles have no livery, they are just grey, you are allowed to take your car home, detach the lightbar, lamp, etc, and use it as a personal vehicle. It's kinda cool and interesting
*sees accident while in cop car* *swerves around it and goes to wallmart* lmaoooooo i died at that part
The thing is that video camera evidence from a third party cell phone is problematic because it can't be authenticated. Most phones record in the .mp4 format which is digitally compressed. From the forensic standpoint you need a non-compressed format for a reputable digital forensics expert to be able to testify that the video hasn't been tampered with to a high degree of certainty. (i.e. an avi or a mov file). This is because of the fact that the tools we use to verify the integrity of video footage don't work with compressed formats that require a codec.
*I'm not sure how to word this into a question so I guess I'll just explain myself. (Also, the user name is just a joke! But probably true lol) Something I often think about is when there are marches or protests against police brutality or if a police officer shoots and kills an unarmed man or woman (for example) and the family/friends/public are protesting against the police departments across America or that particular department .. How does it make you feel? Do you ever feel like it's the police (nationwide) against the public? Do you ever wish you could just tell some of these people that you understand and actually agree with them? I hope this statement/question makes sense..
And one more if you're ever able to.. I'm a 29 year old female who's been addicted to heroin/opiates for roughly 10 years. I spend a lot of time in the inner cities. I obviously get to know and talk to not just my dealers but ppl in the neighborhood(s) and something I hear constantly is "oh shit.. Here come the police.." and this person might have nothing on them.. They aren't doing anything wrong.. No warrants.. But in their minds and I know bc I've asked.. They always think it's better to avoid and ignore the police regardless of the situation at that moment. They are convinced the police don't give a fuck about anything but fucking them over if they have the chance or honestly and truly catching them if they really are doing something wrong and for those reasons they won't even say hello to a police officer. Do you think if police officers that patrol the inner cities were to slowly try and interact with some of these ppl maybe over a quick game of basketball (we've all seen those videos) or even just getting out and speaking to these ppl especially the young men.. Do you think it would make things better for everyone? Like, do you think it's possible and important for the police to try and build some type of relationship when they're able to with the ppl in their community?
I probably sound insane but I really think about both of these things often and I hope you understand what I'm saying/asking*
Here In Connecticut the state troopers are allowed to take their cars home since they're all unmarked and the light bars are removable
That face officer 401 had when the other guy said he was into it lmao
Where I work our cruisers have to stay at the station, Supervisory are the only ones allowed to take their vehicle home at night. I have a Tahoe I drive 24/7 but am sworn to act on and off duty.
Really crazy that I came across your videos for the first time ever today. I was just talking to my husband about how he felt about me wanting to change my career path. I told him I was strongly thinking about going into law enforcement. Do you think it would be a smart decision with my husband being an active duty Marine?
Absolutely. I think you should reach for any goal you have for yourself. Everything else will fall in line.
officer401 thank you! I just wasn't sure if it was a realistic goal considering he will be switching duty stations roughly every 4 years.
Staten got awfully red when asked about the lawyer hahaha
Hey man, I'm 19 and graduated a year ago, i keep thinking i wanna be a cop (detective later one hopefully) but i have a few things i feel hold me back. For one i haven't had a serious job with much responsibility, and i heard the hiring process is hard, and that leads me to believe i wouldn't get hired. On top of that, i don't really know the streets around my area too well, and sometimes get a little anxious driving in the highway (inexperience i believe), other than that, I'm in really great shape, I'm a combat sports athlete, do you think i should pursue it? Any specific advice?
King Kong Hi, I'm not a cop yet, but I do know that your best shot is to either join the military or go to college for criminal justice. Better yet, do both; it'll make you high up on the list of applicants.
King Kong If you really truly want something enough, you can find a way to make it happen. Perhaps you should ask some of the police officers from your local police department, as they are going to provide you the most accurate information for where you live. In the world we live in today, a college education is going to help you in most job applications. There are many different degrees that can be of great use to a law enforcement officer, and so it would be a good idea for you to really look into your options and figure out what the best fit is for you. Not to mention, if you don't end up being hired in law enforcement, that college degree will aid you in alternative career choices. As the other reply mentioned, the military is also a good option for giving you a better chance of landing the job as a LEO, but you need to go into the military for the right reasons, not just because it would look better on a job application. The military isn't for everyone, and that's ok. Plenty of police officers have no military background. Driving anxiety is definitely something that gets better with time, so I really wouldn't let that be the thing that holds you back. As for the job history aspect, start working now. Even if it's a part time minimum wage job, it's going to help you not only in the application process (that goes for any job you're applying for) but it will also help you transition into a working environment. Additionally, get involved in service and charity work. Volunteer with organizations that serve the public, especially organizations that reach out to the same demographic and population that police do. Even more helpful, would be to try to work your way into more of a leadership position in the organization your volunteering for. Dedicated service work looks good on any job application, but that is especially so when you're applying for a job that deals specifically with public service and outreach.
Whatever path you decide to take, I wish you the very best! Anything is possible with hard work and dedication. God bless! 😊
Brittany God bless, thank you very much for the advice and kind words ☺
King Kong
Tip from one of my ex's friends, he took a part time job as pizza delivery so he could learn the roads by heart. You'd learn the area, get more practice driving and pick up some extra money.
3 years later, I'm in the military. Still want to be a cop when I get out, looking back, my concerns in this comment seem very insignificant now. I'm on my way 😁
Before my nephew became a policeman he and my dad talked about how his job would spend 99% of his time with the bottom 10% of society. I think it’d be a stressful job that only special people can handle. I know I couldn’t. Ty for the vid. It was great!
I love this. Tik Tok is so prevelant right now, I think you should generate some videos on there if you haven't already. I'm currently out of law enforcement, but I plan on making some videos in the future to show others what it was like as a female in law enforcement.
That's a great idea! Please keep me updated!
Please no. Tik tok is cringe
That is a terrible alarm company. It allowed the system to be armed when the bay door was open. Unless that door doesn’t have a sensor 🤣🤣
Is police academy worse than BCT?BCT sucked mentally but it wasn’t bad now looking back. VCU police academy is in May so how is the academy, what should I be prepared for?
No! Definitely not as bad lol
Good god. Dude on the left makes me want to break the law 😂😂
Someone get this girl a sham wow to soak up the wetness.
What’s your favorite thing to give a ticket for
Move Over Law, and traveling slow in the left lane.
Thank God someone is enforcing that left lane law. We finally have it here, but it's not enforced. It drives me nuts.
Everytime you were putting the comments on the screen I kept thinking it was saying Satan my Staten whenever his name popped up 😂😂
Staten for the love of powdered doughnuts its
" my partner and I"
I’m watching this at midnight and kept looking for over my shoulder like I’m so paranoid😂
I’m so thankful for all y’all do. I have two that live in my neighborhood and they are two great men!!
I hate to be the one to tell you this,but you cannot seize someone’s cellphone without a warrant.Even if a video exists,it is a constitutional right to film in public,and seizing their phone without a warrant is the same as stealing it.No expectation of privacy in public spaces is a thing.How would you articulate seizing the phone of a bystander who had not committed a crime?
I've got a question, how often do you witnessed police improprieties including yourselves?
They wont answer that one. At least not honestly.
Alphonzo Hairston probably never it’s not as often the media likes to make it seem.
When a cop is obviously abusing his authority, why do other cops not interfere??? They just stand there and watch. Like when that cop arrested that nurse in Utah.
I have heard "buff" and "mannequin" in the same sentence before.... Is that weird?
Watch you daily man! Thanks for all you guys do, and always be safe!
Did I hear you guys are from Georgia in the beginning? I live in Georgia ☺️ I wish the police in my area were as nice as y’all!
Thank you, Nicole! :)
officer401 your welcome :)
Also, I’m sure you get this all the time, but I love your tattoos!
I was searching a business I found open around 4 AM and came close to shooting a statue.
I’m curious how y’all are getting around the 4th amendment when you seize the property of someone not remotely suspected of committing a crime. It seems like a really quick way to turn a cooperative witness into an uncooperative individual. When someone is filming they often see more than what is in frame, including what happened before the recording began. Wouldn’t it be better to get the recording emailed to a work email along with a detailed witness statement, then to get only the actual recording along with a “I didn’t see anything” statement?
Daniel Curtin funny how there isn't anyone remotely concerned about this top and also why we are on this note, in your eyes as cops, what justifies a road block, seeing as every road block is unconstitutional?
I would bet that 9 out of 10 times that is exactly what happens. cooperative witnesses make for a better case in court. although in some cases if you were to say, make some sort of comments while filming the phone might get taken 'just because' since I am sure there is a process that takes a month and is really inconvenient and it would be a perfect passive agressive way to get back at a jerk......
11:11 reaction was great
My question: is duolingo kidnaping familys
Awesome content, Officer401! You are a very inspiring officer, and thank you for what you do for your fans and your community! Stay safe and God bless you!! Keep up the great content.
Please do a video on your heroic experiences. What are some times that made you proud and feel like you made a huge difference in someone's life? Ever save a kid? Save someone's life?
Brandon Lucas nothing is heroic about their job.
We were going to do mad libs, but it fell through because of internet companies I will not name - Comcast.🤣🤣
Watching a cop video baked😂😂🤫
The thing about mannequins is relatable to me. I am a security guard in New Zealand and I respond alarm activations as part of my job. In NZ security guards are not permitted to carry any kind of weapons. In the last couple of weeks I have responded 3 alarms that had unexpected mannequins onsite. Each time I nearly shit myself.
At the last actual burglary I responded (2 weeks ago) a police dog handler also attended. He had a tazer, a German shepherd , a baton and a Glock 17. Most New Zealand cops don't carry guns on their person, but I was told dog handlers do because they are first responders. I got there three minutes before him.
"I'm a freelance tank driver. It's very confusing though since there's 6 pedals but only 4 directions."
Less than half way through, I was looking for the like button 😉 Hey Officer401, question for ya. So yalls were talking about the patrol car- if you can take your patrol car home and what are your limitations (if any) on the use of the vehicle, off-duty... If, say, you were off duty making a Wal-Mart run, but saw a vehicle accident and stopped to act upon the situation, do you get paid at that moment?
I absolutely love the content of your channel
And there are a few departments if you live over a certain mileage from the department they make you park your take home car at another PD
“These internet companies I will not name *Comcast*” lol
A lot of the guys at the department recommended your shit, and it is badass. Where do you work, man? I know I missed that somewhere in all these videos.
BOTH HOTT🔥🔥 I know, I have 0 shame. I ♡ Cops
40 to 60 percent are abusers. I'm not saying these two but yes....that fact is true.
my grandpa kept a cutout of a the kodak nascar racer from the 80s in the womens restroom for a while...
401 is daddy
I usually tell people that I'm just a county worker. I just work for the county
Would you go lights and sirens if you need the bathroom reaaaaaaally bad?
YES
My mans said a blimp pilot 😭😭
Do a reaction video to the song “officer down” by Hannah Ellis. Don’t listen to it yet if you haven’t heard it ;)
i can only take my car home on days i work. so if i work 3 days i can take it home, but the two days off i have to leave it at headquarters. its pretty annoying
