He was just breaking your balls rook, get used to it or it's gonna be a long 25 years.......LOL.

"Friendly" departmental rivaleries exist every where you go. Learn to think on your feet and fire back.

we all hate each other!  throw int he state troopers and we have so many drive by's its crazy.  some call them uniforms, we call them our colors!  gangs aint got nothin on the police!  i mean deputy's!  i mean troopers!

your profile says that your a corrections officer.  most corrections officers work for county jails around here which cater to federal, state, county, and local law enforcement agencies.  assuming this that would make you familiar with all of those agencies.  do you see any rivalry's between any of those departments?

 The thin...blue....line...  We're all on it, be in an SO, or a PD.

However, nothing wrong with joking around. :)

Just remember this.....  We have our real differences but when you're on the bottom of the pile, it doesn't matter who shows up to dig you out.

I don't know......Take an @$$ beaten....or have to say thanks to an FBI agent, hmmm I gotta think about this one.

You don't have to worry about it.  They won't be able to unravel the bureaucratic red tape fast enough to get to you.  First, they'd have to analyze the situation.  Then they'd have to wait for the results from the lab.  Then they'd have to bring in a specialist for consulting  Once they've done all that, they'd have to weigh the situation to see if it warrants scuffing their shoes or wrinkling their jacket.   By then the real police have shown up, kicked ass, taken names and been forced by the Special Agent in Charge to turn over all information so they get the credit for the arrest.

You forgot the EPA enviromental inpact study.

We all do the same job

That's all it is - an unspoken, friendly rivalry (and probably just due to the perceived pay differences, for the most part..)

The main rivalry that existed before in our area had existed (as perceived by the foot soldiers, at least) between our sheriff and the previous chief of the main city's PD in our jurisdiction. But now that that chief is gone, there has been more cooperation from the leadership of the city PD (as far as I can tell.)  When it comes down to the streets and working cases, though, we are ALL in it together.

Pertaining to the comments of your fellow Academy-goer:  don't let things get to you so easily; if you don't develop a sense of humor, your job will consume you (..just look at the suicide rate of LEO's compared to other professions..)  Enjoy the comradery, and share the wealth when it comes to picking and prodding, Rookie!

Let me start by saying im not trying to start anything here, but that i'm just curious. Is there a known rivalry between Police and Sheriff? I was in the local gear and uniform shop buying some boots when a guy from pd asked if i was going into the academy. i said yeah and the lady at the desk tells him that i'm with the sheriff's department. He says "I cant say anything about that as long as they pick up the perps i dont want".  so now, was he just rude, or is this an ongoing thing? i have nothing against P.D. and i would hate to have to dislike them because of my department.

Let me say this, Police and Sheriff.....is an oxymoron......two words that have the same meaning. Police, Sheriff, Deputy, Trooper, all equal one thing.....Law Enforcement.  There's going to be mostly friendly jousting, some maybe not so friendly because each agency has a few Maco Men in it.  Thing is, if the clerk had said something to you, that officer would have been on their back before you could have blinked.

vsp305 very well said!

Thats it mshort.............one more word to my fellow county mounty and we are declaring gang war hahahahahha

You just want to find him to take his cadolea from him. Thats what your after. LMAO!

Where I am from the county police were the main PD, the sheriff generally served warrants and civil papers, the state boys usually handled traffic, we did the dirty work but in all fairness we were all on the same side even though we had our differences. I has a state trooper leave his department to come to our department, that was becasue we were paid more than them and had a 20 year retirement system.

Depends where you go...VBPD Sheriffs run the jail.. Officers run the streets....Here in NC we have Sheriffs that run the streets and State police...There's a rivalry with state versus local also...Related to pay...But when the chips are down any uniform forgets all that and jumps in..
