Do you really want to deal with crackheads all day long? I'm willing to bet you got into aviation by only looking at the positive side. Don't forget to take a long look at the negative side. Many people do not like the police, you will be called all kinds of names. People view police as more of a revenue generator now than a help to society, speed camera anyone? Your social interactions will be with people who would perfer you dead outnumbering the people that will thank you. It will get to you over time.

You may be shot at, the shot may miss your bullet proof vest and hit you in the head. Your wife will always wonder if today is the day. Much like a prison guard, this is a dead end job, very little to look forward to. As a firefighter I once saw a twelve year old blow his brains out with a shotgun after shooting his sister. I don't care who you are, it will get to you.

I would stick with 40k a year in the flaps up, shut up seat.
