I would have to agree with you fhantom,(he already stated that he did not post at work, but you can see he post at 5 in tha morning, 7 in tha evening, and 11 in the am, so you be the judge) but such a good way to spend everyone's tax dollars, posting while at work, already proven a liar, what else will he try to convice someone of, I even seen he had posted on another comment, where it was listed as 46:1 instead of jetboy, wonder if that was the truth on the other topic.
Wow, I cant believe this has moved here, or that I followed it ;o) I was reading the last of the other thread and keyed in on the discussion on the difference between a jailer and a LEO. Someone needs to clarify 'jailer' or 'corrections officer.' Many counties and cities use LEO's as 'jailers' for the county or the city jails (thus they would have a badge and a weapon). This is completely different from a CO. My sister was a CO and, while I love her to death, she was not sworn to protect anything but herself. CO's in the prisons I have seen usually attend a 2 week training class and carry a nightstick. They have access to 'locked' weapons in an emergency, but, for the most part, they do not carry firearms. And believe me, my sister, while she was a scrappy thing back then (she has MS now), she could not run down a donut, better yet chase a suspect like an LEO is required to do.

A CO's job, however, is as difficult as an LEO at times, but in other ways. Prisoners are allowed to do and say things to CO's that you would not believe. Watch the cop shows, most of the folks that are being arrested are tame due to the fact that they dont want to be arrested (of course there are the nuts that put LEOs life in danger everyday.) And let a suspect spit on an LEO, that 'COPS' camera suddenly points another direction for a few seconds because the camera man 'tripped.' The folks that are in prisons are usually going to be there for awhile and have no need to respect the guards. For the most part, disrespecting the CO's gives them credit with the other prisoners. A CO's job is VERY mentally draining, and for that reason it is a very difficult job with a high turnover rate. I have heard stories of men who play with themselves in front of the female guards just because they know they can. Imagine what a female LEO (or her fellow male LEO's) might do to someone like that when no one is looking.

I think some folks need to learn respect for each others position in the process, the whole system would not work without both LEO's and CO's.

I mean no disrespect toward C/O's or jailers. My posts are for jetgirl only. I have many friends that are jailers and C/O's and they have my total respect. I was a C/O for three years before I became a police officer. Please accept my apology if I offended you in anyway.
