[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is a manassas city police officer. He does not want to live in manassas, shop in manassas, eat in manassas or BE in manassas other than the hours he is at work. It is definitely THAT bad. Try Bristow, Gainesville or Warrenton. Especially the last-much more bang for your buck. But the commute can be brutal. [/quote]

That's awful. Police officers should live in the areas they police. It would likely lead to a lot less friction. That's what community policing emphasizes. [/quote]

Police officers that I know prefer not to live where they work as to cut down on the chance of running into someone that they arrested while out with their families. Keeping work/life separate. Let's say you arrest someone who is displeased with you for doing so. If you live in the same community and they see you out with your family they all of a sudden know who your wife/husband/kids are and what they look like. That could be unsafe.[/quote]

Interesting, I grew up in a small city of about 80K people. That would be kind of impossible, I mean you could live in the next town over but really everyone from all the neighboring towns (really just borders on a map of the same suburbanish area) would mix all over. It didn't even occur to me that this would be a strategy. Here it must be a bit easier because of population density [/quote]
