The worth of a Police Officers word.

The job description of Police Officer includes honesty and integrity, and to my knowledge mine has not been put in question, but my word is not good enough even with other officers stating the same thing. And I believe that Security Officers should be held to the same standard of honesty and integrity. Yes, this has to do with one particular Security Officer. After this Security Officer violated multiple traffic laws, the Security Officer admitted to the violations in an email and later stated that if a UAMS Officer tried to stop this Security Officer again th Police Officers could follow them around Little Rock, this Security Officer was still able to keep a job that involved honesty and integrity. Before and after that incident there were reports that this Security Officer was not performing their job at the Metal Detector as instructed, such as last night I witnessed a black male set the Metal Detector off three times and this Security Officer sent him on never getting out the hand wand or getting out of their chair. Just because this Security Officer has a problem with me should not diminish my word when I report that this Security Officer is letting people through the Metal Detector and not checking them after they set it off. It is offensive that when this Security Officer comes back from break, when I've filled in at the Metal Detector for this Security Officer , this Security Officer gets the germ and virus killing wipes out and wipes EVERYTHING down. I don't mind keeping an area clean but this Security Officer never does this with other officers and I know enough about reading body language to tell that this Security Officer's wiping it all down on my account. I can work with virtually anyone, there are people that I work with now that I disagree with and whose actions make me want to scream but I pride myself as a Police Officer and always strive to be professional in all that I do.

There is nothing that this Security Officer does that has any personal or professional affect on how I do my job. During my previous years in Law Enforcement I learned to deal with childish behavior, but I don't think that any Officer should have to deal with childish behavior from someone that's held to that same standard of honesty and integrity. How can the word of one Security Officer be taken over the word of at least four Police Officers?

Happiness and Contentment

"I have more than enough to be happy, you probably do too. Expectations that are not met bring unhappiness, so I am careful which expectations I set and which I accept from others. I expect happiness to come from myself because that's where it is determined, in my own mind. Giving up things frees my mind to think about all that is glorious outside my window, that's the pay-off." The Comedy Bailout Blog

Its crazy how ingrained materialism is in your culture. I have gotten rid of truck loads of JUNK, my wife calls it stuff, in the last two years and we still have junk, stuff, filling the closets.
