So I want to be a police officer when I grow up and I have a couple questions.?

1. Would a girl that is considering a relationship with a guy that is a police officer or wants to be one think about how said person could die. (Statistics show it's fairly low that someone does but they don't know that)

2. Would the girl think about how hard it would be if we had a girl kid and how that girl kid might not be able to get into a relationship because of her cop dad?

    1. I can't comment on what other people might think. There are obvious risks being a police officer. I was both an officer and a soldier, and faced more hazardous situations as a cop then I ever did in the Army. However, like you said, statistically the possibility of being killed on duty is slight. You minimize that danger by always having a plan, thinking tactically in every situation, and not taking unnecessary risks.

    2. I don't know what girls think, I have two failed marriages that prove it. There is one rule you follow with every relationship you have, you enjoy the time with them while you can.

    1. Depends on the woman, the man, the police force, and the location. However, "women: (it would be a woman, not a girl in this situation) have had relationships with men who do dangerous things from the military, to construction work, to law enforcement, etc. since the dawn of time. Honestly just driving in traffic can be dangerous. Worrying about what other people think is a waste of time.

    2. A "girl kid" would be called a "daughter". It is unlikely a "woman" would worry about her daughter's relationships because of the the father's career, because it would just be a dumb thing to worry about.

    1) Yes of course. If I was seeking after a guy in a dangerous job, like cop, army, navy, etc., I would have to think about that risk factor that I could lose them. It's just natural to worry and care about our loved ones. 2) Yes. But that wouldn't stop us from marrying/dating a cop. In the long run, isn't that a good thing? If the fact the man your daughter would be dating is scared that you're a cop, and that's the reason he doesn't date her, then maybe he has something to hide. A true man, who isn't guilty would date your daughter whether you're a cop or not. Hope this helps!!
