I respect these people a lot. They have a very tough job.
However, police have it pretty good on this island. Note the amount of holiday, vacation and sick time. Who in the private sector gets 21 days of sick pay per year? Then add in the holiday and vacation time. Anyone here get 21 days of vacation time in their first year of service?
