Thanks to your son for his commitment to his community, and congratulations to your other children.

Project 2025 removes overtime pay from all law enforcement and removes protections from being injured on the job

Hate him, or hate him, the current president signed a bill that provides a tax credit for overtIme pay that appears to disproportionately benefit law enforcement and other first responders. Was that a “Project 2025” approved move?

Arlington PD starting salaries increase to $90k next year with 4 & 5 days off at a time. That means a young motivated officer that averages 55 hours a week would make $51k+ in overtime. Based on available calculators like the one below, this young officer would receive a tax credit of $3k.

He'd consider too going in local and at 5 lateral to Fed, but pay isn't as good and most Fed LEO have mandatory relocation.

Ah, suckling at the taxpayer teat, I see.

EMTs make like $20/hr

Apply. If you get through the screening and the academy you can patrol for 20 years and earn the pension. It’s part of the benefits package.

Don’t forget no tax on overtime.

What is it about law enforcement they are interested in?

Start there.

What you do depends on if they are interested in the service aspect of it or if they are seeking control, praise and hero worship.

There isn’t much praise and hero worshipping going around these days for law enforcement. Everyone that gets pulled over thinks they know the law better than the law enforcement officer. They argue. They threaten lawsuits. They ignore lawful commands. That’s just the traffic stops.

You know what kind of people think officers enter the profession to exert control over others? Only the chronically entitled, arrogant, ignorant portion of our society that believe the rules don’t apply to them and are quick to demonstrate their complete lack of knowledge about policing.

Perfect example if your child expressed the attitude displayed by this poster they should be discouraged from entering the field.
If he listens to any manosphere or manosphere adjacent podcasts they should be discouraged from entering the field.

Touched a nerve?

The actions and attitude of people that bring law enforcement into their lives are what determines the tone of the interaction.
