[QUOTE="wesessiah, post: 13368498, member: 111232"] i already stated that it doesn't matter to me what i'm considered, but merriam-webster lists: and the oxford dictionary lists: half (literally) of the guys at my police department are previous military, and even between us people disagree whether or not police should be considered civilians. some say it gives a military state feel to think of police as non-civilians, others say people thinking about police as civilians minimizes the feel of authority. some say police are exempt from some statutes where civilians are not, and the other half will say "we go home at the end of the shift, and can quit." i just don't see why people let words hurt their feelings so much. i'm going to arrest a guy that assaulted somebody else whether he thinks i have too much authority, or if he thinks i'm the same as him and i just have a badge for a job. the idea in your other post isn't a bad thought, but take home cars, and rapid deployment come into play with it... especially at smaller departments where there aren't 20 officers/deputies per shift and don't have overlapping shifts. my city is a 15 minute drive from the county seat/swat team. if there was an active shooter at shift change and the outgoing guys had put their equipment up for the day, and the other shift was just getting theirs out, their would be an issue with time getting the equipment, rather than just turning the car around and having the equipment with you. or in the middle of the shift, the on call guys having to come to the pd to equip themselves would be lost minutes in stopping the threat.
