I'll never forget the moment I was schooled in the realities of what being a cop really meant. I was still a rookie with about 3 weeks on the street. My FTO and I got a call to a seedy motel about screams being heard. As we pulled up I heard the horrific cry of a small child and charged the room smashing in the door.
The child's mother had a hot iron and was pressing it down hard into the bare stomach of the 3 year old. I shoved her out of the way and had to peel the hot iron out of the child's flesh. Based on the depth of the wound she had been doing this for quite some time. I was so enraged I spun to face the mother and was reaching for my revolver. My FTO stepped in front of me and stopped me and said "it's part of the job, you have to learn to deal with it".
I never lost it like that again but my eyes were opened that day for sure.
That was a lot worse then I went through when I was 12 I'm sorry for what you had to experience
Arcamemnon Horrific. You acted as any sane man would have. And your FTO acted as a tried and tested mentor. Thank you for your service, its unforunate you have to witness such things, but because you did, hopefully that child is healed and alive, and the mother is behind bars. Lucky for her your FTO stopped you from blowing her lights out.
Nothing I could say as a civilian will express my support the way Id like it to be recieved, so I just say thank you, and Godspeed sir.
Wow I am humbled by this.
It would've been justified
We are living in Critical Times hard to deal with. 2Timothy Chapter 2.
Listening to this makes me feel like he had flashbacks and nightmares frequently......
Through all of these ugly truths, I see a beautiful person.
Thank you for your service.
Wow, thank you Kiawe.
officer401 Thank you! My boyfriend and I always watch your videos! Wr support you and the blue 100%, excluding the few bad apples. Have a wonderful night!!!
officer401 same as him/her dude, from how you spoke, it definitely feels like it's coming from heart. i can tell you were very serious, yet you chose to continue being an officer/detective. massive respect man.
Kiawe V after watching the video, reading this comment nearly brought me to tears.
Kiawe V I like your snake :)
Real as it gets. My partner was shot in his chest yesterday on a warrant service. I feel helpless right now.
Did he live?
Uhhhhh. Bump?
Many sympathies to you and the rest of his family (because I'm pretty sure he's family to you). Same question as Alex - "Did he live?", but I get the feeling the answer is "no".
Sorry for the late response. He survived and is home with his family.
@@DoughnutLord50 Your post was months ago, and the question was only posed a few days ago. Don't fret about any delay.
Thanks much for the update. So glad he's ok!
I am a retired Deputy Sheriff, served 21 years with my department. This video is 100% correct. You are going to see the worst things imaginable. But being there to help a victim makes all the bad stuff worth it. I have had parents come up to me years after I responded to a call to their house and thank me saying that the night I spoke to their kid, changed that kids life and turned them from the bad path they were heading down. You do have to face the fact you cannot save everyone. But if you can save one, it makes it all worth it.
Throughout my whole career I had one main rule. Treat everyone the way you would want to be treated. It don't matter if you were a victim or a suspect or just a witness. Treat everyone with respect and professionalism. Until that person did something to the contrary then they brought that on themselves. But still stay professional. You will deal with the worst people in society. Put yourself in their position, would you want a cop coming up to you and talking down to you. No so don't do it to others. And remember the better you do your job the longer these people do in jail.
And one final thing, don't be afraid to talk to people. You can get alot of information from people just by talking. I had a suspect one time I felt it was about to get into a physical fight when it wad time to arrest him. I could see he knew it was coming and started squaring off, puffing up, when i asked him, dude thats a nice car, what year is it?, something that simple threw him off and just kept asking questions about the car. After a bit he calmed down and when it was time to put him in cuffs, he knew I was there just doing my job and I was human.
Best years of my life. So if your considering becoming a law enforcement officer, yes there is alot of bad out there, but the little victories make it all worth it.
Stay safe my brothers and sisters
@@ryzezee8543 Provided they have the correct address/person in the first place.....
What's the difference between a police officer and a sheriff?
I was pulled over yesterday and asked if they heard of you and they said no and I just looked crazy
I wish I was that famous haha.
"oh yeah that dickhead, i know him. Heres 5 more tickets" Lmao just kidding love the videos @officer401
LMAO Ryley!!
I pulled over a cop yesterday and asked them if officer401 knew them.
This is based on a true story. Maybe.
plot twist, the cop was officer401
the first time i was pulled over by a cop was when i was 9 and riding my bike with the right safety checks. he gave me a DQ free ice cream ticket for being safe on my bike
Neko Nominyan my first time he said it smelt like marijuana and charged me with possession
niga knocka My first time I was high as fuck with a friend and the cop pulled me over because I was driving at night without my headlights on. He let me go lol
first time me and my friend were riding bmx around Long Beach and we found some dude asleep on the sidewalk.Cops said he was on Xanax and he gave me a fidget spinner that he confiscated cuz some kid was throwing it at strangers lol.
Neko Nominyan First time, the cop took my to jack in the box, they’re really great people
lol my local PD does that with little children too, too bad i'm too old for that. anyways my first time was just me being a dumb 16 year old trying to troll a cop, turns out there were some outstanding tickets on the car and that got my sister (she owns it) arrested, had to wait 2 hours for her to pay up and get processed... damn
My father is a retired police officer, he never brought his work home with him but he always made sure we knew the dark side of life and showed us the value of integrity and honor and what it looks like for those who don't posses such values. Ty for your service 401
Integrity, honor,my ding-a-ling has more integrity and honor than all of law enforcement and the Justice department have put together.
401
Murdering the innocent is not honor or integrity.
Daniel Shaver.......
@@paulscott1048 Oh cmon you obviously don’t watch his videos
@@piperhh5609 Daniel shaver was murdered by police despite breaking no laws.
The murderer was rewarded.
I used to hate police officers, i grew up around drug users and dealers. As i grew up i realized what Police Officers stand for and what they do for our community. Now im pursuing a career in law enforcement.
Cops stand for their thin blue line.
Covering up for rapists, pedophiles and murderers in their ranks.
They hate the tax cattle.
Amen Javier!
@Kingfish HEY NO IM TRUST WORTHY
Glad to hear you changed your mind
good for you man. im only 14 but i aspire to go into law enforcement
As a paramedic I have seen many of these that he is listing off. It stays with you. Whenever someone asks you what the worst call you have ever had you respond with "which one?"
My dad is also a paramedic and I have so much respect for emergency responders from the stories he tells me. He is now a charge dispatcher but still gets calls that are difficult. Some of the things I have heard make my heart hurt....
My step dad is a firefighter and paramedic as well. He is so unphased by death its unbelievable they way he talks ab it is so bland like he’s unaffected
@@sethb8831 it's just another day at the office
As a paramedic this is so true
Amen, and every one is vivid mine do not recur though I have to think about them so not PTS.
In the 90s I went on a ride-along with my boyfriend who was the city of Miami cop, he had a call it was a triple homicide, I was so scared I didn't even want to leave the vehicle, he told me not to worry everything would be okay, when I entered the home it was the most horrific thing I've ever seen, that's when I knew I don't have what it takes to be a police officer. Much respect to you.
Not Charging it’s called the nineties
why were you allowed on the scene of a triple homicide? did he let you play with the murder weapon too? great police work they must do down there.
Dave D'Auria Journalism maybe
Dave D'Auria you ever heard about ride alongs dipshit? Guess not. Next time when you’re trying to look cool commenting at least try better.
@@davedauria4782 my thought exactly.
Let me also add this: I worked in EMS for 7 years as an EMT in the DC area before going on to medical school. It is not at all unusual (at least back in the 80's or 90's) to have cops that have double rolls as volunteer firefighters and paramedics. Because of their police training they saved my ass more times than I can count. Example: An unconscious drunk regained consciousness and grabbed my leg while taking his blood pressure. The guy was huge and I was maybe 19. The FF/Cop sprang into action and had him in a head-lock within 5 seconds. For anyone who thinks cops are pigs, just remember the next time someone breaks into your house or a family member stops breathing or you are in a horrible accident. Chances are, the first people on the scene will be a cop and they will save your ass too. Thank you for your service and thank's for saving my ass.
When they respond to an accident and lie about it , blaming the victim, protecting the person without valid insurance who hit you on a bicycle from the rear, then try to STOP you from filing a report. See how they "save your ass" then. If I had a home invasion, these bozos would probably arrest me, and tell the perp to have a nice night in my home. And NO....I don't have any negative history with them.
We watched a kid burn to death in a car one night. He was calling out to my officers before I got there. They were so messed up after that. Angry they could not save him. I wish I could get one of those MIB flashy things to erase my memory when I retire in 5 years. It really takes a piece of your soul. Too many terrible memories, just too many.
What the fuck that’s horrible I’m so sorry
@Patricia A. Badea Because a kid atleast deserves to have a taste of pain and beauty in life. Unfortunately God never made this world perfect, people die all over the world in the most horrific ways you can never imagine.
Omg I hear you! I wish science would hurry up and develope something to precisely remove specific memories, a "memory surgical strike". It could be possible, we just don't know enough yet about the way memories are stored.
If I was rich I'd fund research to find an "MIB flashy thing" equivalent. There are memories people shouldn't have to carry.
So sad!
@PATH LIGHT TRIPWIRE huh?
This is easily one of the most powerful videos I've ever seen. You shouldn't be so modest when you talk about how quickly your channel has grown. You've earned every sub.
Thank you, my friend.
I 100% agree. There is nothing sensationalized like what we typically see. For outsiders, such as myself, this video alone give more perspective for officers than ever before.
Cal agreed .
Cal agreed 100%
Hillary Clinton what are you doing here?
I've been an officer for just four months and it's amazing how much of this I've already experienced. Officer 401 is absolutely correct, it's a very rewarding career but it comes with its costs and sacrifices.
Just wondering in what way is it rewarding I'm just curious because I'm planning on being a cop.
Jonathan Long as officer 401 said you will meet great people, such as your partner who you might get shot at one day and go to a bbq the next day as he said, and successful missions where you play with kids changing their view on cops etc. He touched a bit on this in the video.
8 months now.
Edward livingstone you first... Lowlife...
thanks for your service man. be safe out there.
I used to hate cops; they came so many time in my home when I was a kid, parents from he'll. But as I grown up; you guys have all my respect. Tough job for sure.
Op Kl same with me
Same with me
Altho i still say ftp so I don’t get kicked out my hood
Mike Barooshian shut the fuck up dude
They came in your house? Did they cleanup their mess before they left?
Don't care what folks say about Cops or in the military. thank you for what you do. Physically and Emotionally it has to be tough.
This is the most legit shit I’ve ever heard.
It's just hit me halfway through this video that he's speaking of stuff he's actually seen not just making up scenarios. Deep shit.
Same.. Was questioning lots of this, then a question came to my head, is this what we went through? Then he kept on going, and I said, shit, he actually went through this..
Sam Sarka he's a cop. especially with how long he's been one, he definitely saw some crazy shit. It's inevitable.
This video was so sad to hear 😢 It's the nature of the job but people really don't know what you guys experience on a daily basis. Stay safe and always thanks for what you do!
Thank you Alyssa!
3 days ago I was watching cops and one the episodes showed a 2 girls crying but the cop kept it cool
When my dad Buried his partner it was heartbreaking because that was his best friend. And hearing you speak about that is really really relatable.
Officer, just so you know. I was one of those little kids that was abused and abandoned by my parents. I had so many cops over the years of my childhood genuinely trying to help me. They couldn't. My parents told me to lie.
I just turned 21 and now I'm pursuing a career in law enforcement. Because of people like you that can see the reality of a situation but are just fucked over by big wigs and make it so you can never help a kid.
Nice lie
@@maximilianmus7108 unless you have hard evidence that this is a lie, respectfully fuck off.
MaximilianMus ikr, this dude is OBVIOUSLY lying, i mean everyone knows that nobody gets abused, and cops certainly never try to help the not-abused children pshhh
😑
thats why you're a weeb
Good luck joining law enforcement hopefully you got it
As a Marine Veteran and as a current LEO I wanted to start to cry at the end around 8:20. most people don't understand the toll it takes on your own mental state. thanks again 401 from South Carolina
FrontManMilitia Hooah. I've only been an officer for over a year and 2 months. And I've already attended a fellow officers funeral. Held his wife. His 3 kids. I'm only 25, and have seen and done so much shit that even in my dreams I'm still seeing it. But I do it to give everyone a better future. That's what keeps me going. -Officer D.

thanks from south carolina again. and thank you, sir, for serving our country. i want to be a cop, and ive been well aware of all of this for quite some time. ill be going for my criminal justice degree next fall as well, so wish me luck.
FrontManMilitia I ship out August 28th. any advice sir?
My good friend retired from Boston PD. He is now coping with PTSD. He is getting help and I told him I am there for you no matter what you need. A shoulder to lean on, an ear to listen or just anything.
Every time a police car drives by me I will say a prayer for their safety and God’s strength and protection. I know firsthand the things they see and have to do. Law enforcement and Military, God bless you all.
Sheryl same
All of this and I’m still determined to do it. I want so badly to be involved with the community I grew up in, to give back and work with the kids in our community. My mom told me, people die everyday, people get killed sitting on the damn couch at home watching tv, why not be doing something meaningful, something worthwhile? Why not be of service to others? Thank you for the video!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great way of thinking! You'll go far with that mindset.
Thanks! Wish me luck! The test is in a week
Christopher Golding thank you so much! That means a lot me!
@Christopher Golding Wow, thank you Christopher!
@@sholafabolasi how did it go
Hardest thing I ever did even though I'm new to the force was seeing an entire family burn to death in a jeep fire hit by a drunk teenager. Worse part is I went to school with the guy who was drunk. I was 2nd on the scene behind my supervisor and seeing a burned 3 and 7 yr old while I have a 4 and 6yr old literally broke me...I dropped to my knees and cried and cried and cried..it was so horrible I had to take some time off and went on vacation for a week just to hold my family close.
Thank you for risking your life to keep us safe. There are a lot of us who support you guys. It makes me sick all the protests from all the shootings even though most are justified but most ppl dont look into the facts. Stay safe out there. We appreciate you men and women.
100%
I never used to cry about anything. Then I became a father.
@alex reyes okay y'all. What are you some s*** kicking hillbilly?
Josh, I know its hard. But I have studied the Afterlife and interviewed many "Near Death Experience" survivors. Heaven, the Void and Hell is real. A vast majority of people will enter heaven. Some people are ashamed and are in the holding place called the void. They don't want to step over to the light. I think all officers needs to show compassion.
@@LK-pc4sq
That vast majority will most certainly be the innocent children who have suffered through man's reign. Yes heaven and hell are real, I met God as well. There is a spiritual plane out there.
I had experience with a dead body as a intern for a smaller police department. Very sobering moment in my life and made me realize a lot of things, it was very sad to learn he had no relatives and was a loner so it was a very sad day. But I learned a lot and actually it drove me to become an officer even more. Currently working on becoming a State Trooper in Michigan.
This man hit it right on the head. Similar things can be said for those in the Fire and EMS service, I’m an EMT myself. Like he said, these are just the ugly moments. No Guarantee a First Responder will experience any of these horrific tragedies every shift or the next shift. There are a lot of happy moments, I would argue more than ugly ones. But the reason the ugly moments are more important is because it’s not the happy ones that wake you up at night. It’s not the happy ones that you question if you made the right call. It’s not the happy ones that make you wonder if you’re going to come home to your family that night. It’s not the happy ones that stick with you for the rest of your life. It’s not the happy ones that lead to anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
Everyone trys to live their life the happiest, and the fullest it can be. You can never have too much happiness in your life. But you can have too much sadness and broken hearts. Some people can tolerate those ugly moments better than others, but everyone has their breaking point. It’s natural for humans to experience joyful times, it’s not natural for humans to witness horrific scenes and pain and suffering on other humans, so often. That is the unfortunate reality of a Law Enforcement Officer, or any First Responder. They see more trauma and broken people/families in one month than the average citizen sees in their entire life.
So if you decide to become a First Responder, that’s fantastic! But understanding these ugly moments that you will inevitably see is why it’s important to ask for help when YOU need it. First Responders are always hesistant to call for help themselves (I’m guilty as charged.) Some things are understandable. Even the stubborn ones that will walk on their broken leg immediately after surgery or something like that. When it comes to mental health, you CANNOT wait until that spirals out of control before you ask for help. And as a First Responder, keep an eye on your colleagues. It is far more difficult and time consuming to heal a broken brain than a broken leg. Mental illnesses are very real, and are arguably more dangerous than real illnesses. Real illnesses can be treated with proven medicines, which is a science. Since every person is different, it’s impossible to know how their brain works. If it’s sick, such as reliving a horrible car accident where 3 children died, the brain plays tricks on the person and does what it wants. It’s impossible to look into your head, so it’s impossible to find the best solution. That’s why mental health issues take so long to bring under control, if at all.
Become a First Responder for the happy moments, but be aware of the ugly moments. And when you’ve seen too many ugly moments, reach out. Get help. You’re colleagues will be there for you.
This video and the comments are a huge eye opener
A cop saved my life. I used drugs and was overdosed in a slump. Alone. In my car. And without that officer even giving a single shit about me and 6 narcans in my chest later, I respect you guys so much.
Thank you.
Also the EMTs helped me too :p
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nicole Shett are you clean now
What did you see while you was out??
glad you're okay. i've seen people turn their lives around quite drastically after overcoming their addiction (a close friend who fascinates me overcame a heavy opioid addiction and did very well for himself). i hope your journey ends up in a good place
Thanks for your service brother..God bless you and your family.
I saw this in my recommended. I’m a 14 yr old and I kinda wish I didn’t watch this video. Thank you cops for all your service, and in these times I want you guys to know I have your back!
The dead body stuff is just if you want to be an investigator. Patrol men dont do that as much.
@@billyboy4477 yeah that seem pretty scary, going to a house that you dont even know smelling a corpse and then seeing it rott
Damn idk if I wanna be a cop anymore 😆
@@greygoosey8258 just do what makes you happy man
I’m a 14 year old and I purposely watched this video, I think I still want this job.
Crazy to think I watched this years ago without any expectation of being a cop. Earlier this week in the classroom, I watched this same video in my academy class. Thanks 401 for putting me on the right path!
Been in law enforcement for 13 years. Everything you have mentioned has happened. And yes that is the side of this job people do not see.
I wish people would show it...somehow. Give people a better "understanding" of what people like you and officer401 do.
Would you say being in law enforcement worth it? Either federally or locally.
@@zacrylist5748 how do they suffer if good cops, and bad cops get to keep their jobs anyway. It's not like every single cop has been recorded. It's not like the bad ones that do and make it to the mainstream media get fired. You obviously do not know about the 2,000 cases of police misconduct in Baltimore city, and many other corruption cases across the usa.
Same with firefighters. The Brotherhood is there. I would do anything to protect my Brothers and Sisters at the station
Matt Bateman ur a ff too? cool! (I'm a jr firefighter btw)
Brickidalphia Fire Dept nice man. Make sure you listen to the firefighter with experience. It will help a lot.

Matt Bateman thank you for serving! P.S cops are better than firefighters! Jk!!!!! Jk!!! But in all seriousness thank you!

@Jakubix 16 In Germany officers earn less, pay more taxes, less respect and cost of living is way higher but it is safer.
One thing I never expected was the support and compassion I received at the hands of two arresting officers. I have been having so many years of depression and anxiety, and shit just not workin out and, well, lotsa stuff just went wrong so quickly, and even though I was shocked and humiliated and in total disbelief at what is going on, I have never experienced so much compassion and understanding than from the two officers that showed up. With open invitations to just come by and talk if you have nobody else. Damn, man, I really appreciate all you guys and gals. Thank you for your vids. And thank you for your honesty about all these topics. I applied once, but now in life, not sure if I could take it. You folks are something else, man. Thank you all.
Former meth head here. A cop gave me my second chance. For that I will be eternally grateful.
Same here sir. Blessings to you
Yeah. I,too, have chronic, clinical depression. Being a police officer isn't what you do see on television. What nobody ever realizes is the mountains of paperwork they have to put up with. You don't ever see that on any TV show. On any police shows on TV. Like the ever-popular TV police show "Law & Order ". ? I wonder if you're detained by the feds,and if they want you to talk to them without legal counsel present, and they try to interrogate you,& somehow they implacate (sorry, it's misspelled) you, don't you have the right to a lawyer? Despite of what I've read of the author David Baldacci's books,that you not entitled to one, until you've been convicted of any crime? Because I don't think it works that way in real life.
And in the movie,that had happened after some couple - who just happened to be black - had gotten pulled over for 'reckless endangerment'. Right in the middle of L.A. 's busy street. Or intersection. Man,that LA cop had no right to do something like that! And I had thought,"Go figure." Being of what a huge mega-city or a major metropolitan city like Los Angeles, California,of their police force being a racist institution. That has been nothing new to LA. (I've never been to LA. And,boy,oh boy,I hope I never do in my lifetime. It's a complicated issue in real life,too.
Los Angeles is WORLDS apart from a city like Corpus Christi,TX. I know that because I had born and raised here in Corpus. Why we natives and veteran transplanted citizens here in my hometown,call it just Corpus,and not formally Corpus Christi,I'll never know. I don't care. Saying just Corpus makes us who live here, look like as of we're hicks, backward,low and narrow socioeconomic group or groups,that makes us look bad. Compared to San Antonio. Or Dallas. Austin. Houston. In Texas. But whatever. (So much of me being from a financially low income socioeconomic nonexistant group. Been like that growing up all my life. Me, being the quite, introverted type. Go figure,huh.) Who knows what the police often think whenever I get stopped on foot. Because I don't own a car.
Speaking of drunk drivers, my friends dad was a cop for our city, very well known and respected, I think he was a lieutenant, I'll keep it anonymous for privacy reasons, but they were on vacation in Florida, on the way home, a drunk driver got on the wrong on rap for interstate, drove head on into them, he somehow turned the car so he would absorb all the impact, he had cardiac arrest and died on seen, his wife was injured and hospitalized, the 2 kids in the back seat walked away, was the biggest funeral I've seen, his son that was in the car with him, well we graduated high school a year ago and he's now going to West Virginia state trooper school, in honor of his dad
Peace

There were a few times Police were there for my Wife and Kids when I could not be...thank you.
In 5th grade, I was in the D.A.R.E program and I absolutely loved the officer that came to my school and taught us. At the end of the school year, we were going to have a party for our graduation, and the day of the party I got the news that my officer had been killed by a drunk driver on his way to work that day. I was heartbroken and I never forgot him. He was a huge part of my life and he still is today. There is a picture of him on my bedroom wall and it has been there since 5th grade (I'm in 10th grade now). When I moved, it was the first thing to go up in my new room. I just want you to know that although there are people out there that hate you guys, I appreciate you guys so much and that you guys are truly inspiring and deserve so much respect for the work you do.
I used to be a police cadet and they told me to get used to seeing dead people, and they explained graphic real stories. I will never forget...
Hannah's Babies Used to be a cadet? What happened?
Chriz Sea. Might of graduateed up
You get used to those things. Just, for god's sake, no matter how used to it you are, make sure you aren't in ear shot of civilians if you're going to crack a morbid joke to another cop.
Everybody usually eventually sees a dead person mostly a family member that is older Seeing other people's family is not that bad
Scottius Maximus Even if not in earshot. My partner (hardly) cracked a joke about a dead body. No one was in the house, but someone had their mic on.
Guy said “dude she’s green, come look at her”
Partner “I don’t wanna see no fuckin Martian”
Even though my partner isn’t sworn, he got conduct unbecoming and 2 years probation.
Retired eight years ago after twenty years. Some in admin but most on the street. Not a big agency, only about 25 sworn. Everything this officer said is 100 percent true. The glow wears right off after you've seen your third or fourth Signal 46--Dead Body. Welcome to every possible way to decompose, about one per week for us. Very few of them homicides. And after you've walked away from that fatal car wreck that took the life of one of your fellow officers, and a total stranger literally pulls the shirt off his back and offers it to you to wipe your friend's blood off your face because you tried to save him with CPR, and when you and seven other officers carry his coffin the last one hundred feet--well, that's when you understand the meaning of the term "dead weight." You will carry him around for a long time.
And then the glorious day comes when your know-it-all elected officials decide that your real function as a police department is "Crime Prevention." Thirty minutes after the clapping ends, a car gets stolen, or a house is burglarized, or some lowlife beats his girl friend into bloody pulp, and guess what? Now it's YOUR fault because you didn't PREVENT THE CRIME from happening. So keep your nose clean and hold on to your shitty-ass pension until you can try to walk away from it all with a little bit of dignity. Good luck with that.
Hey, I'm not bitter. Maybe a little cynical, but I never claimed to be Captain America.

Thank you
Thank you for your sacrifice.
Not one single video clip of any of these situations and it felt real and hit just as hard. Thank you.
Sadly enough, there are people who have to see it to believe it. I tell people these things happen and they don't believe it and deny sht like this goes on in the world.
Why would anyone make this sht up as a joke or prank? This is real life and people have to wake the fk up.
EMS guy here. I could not have said it better. Though you guys face many more dangerous situations, the same emotions come to mind when you speak of what people will encounter when they enter a life of public service. The glory fades and you can become a different person if you aren't careful. More people need to hear this before they jump into this career. Thanks for your service and as always, great video!
I've been typically unbiased toward cops my whole life. My brother, age 17, decided he hates cops. We are a white family with enough money to do a little more than get by. We live in a decent neighborhood with a good cop 2 roads down. Yes some cops are bad. But the media is overwhelmingly biased about showing a majority of bad cops. You and a cop from my hometown have made me realize how much you guys go through. I love you Officer 401, and thank you for your service.
P.S. The other cop from my town that helped me realize what you guys go through has quite the story. Everyone calls him Preacher. He was involved in a chase and gunfight, and left with a bullet through his left nut. Had to have surgery on it. He now makes jokes about it while catching up with townies. Great guy. I have mad respect for you guys.
RedAppleGamer my dad is the same way I try to tell him there not that bad
Reasons like these are why law enforcement officers should be paid more. They deal with so much shit and unfortunately are very underpaid. Such a shame.
I agree, Cinthya! Even after this video, people will disagree though. Can't make everyone happy.
officer401 unfortunately!
Most Canadian police officers make $100k+ ^^
officers in my area make ~65k min starting per year
11 an hour here, roughly 30k a year
I’m 14, looking to be a cop or a park ranger. I’m one of those kids who’s been through a lot of ugly shit, not a spoiled brat complaining about how he didn’t get his mc Donald’s right away. Unfortunately I know a few of the horrors you mentioned my goal is to prevent that as much as possible, I love ur channel by the way! ❤️
When I originally watched this video, I had no clue that the “50 year old that had a heart attack in their hallway” would be my own mother, life sucks, and I realize how bad the cop on scene must’ve felt for me, especially since he couldn’t do anything to help. I think all this video has done is encourage me more somehow, love ya 401.
Wait you mean this actually happened to you? 401 responded to this?
@@c.h.y no, but eventually the exact same thing happened to me.
@@TheLegitMind oh man I’m so sorry. I hope Youre doing better man. 😞
@@c.h.y oh I'm completely fine now, thanks though
I don't know how anybody could work for the public and dedicate their life to serving the public and yet be so hated by the public. Most cops are very under paid and work long hours.
And thanks for you're service but Idk how you do it.
Thomas Young agreed people don't respect cops when they should and the only reason they don't is either they did something or they are scared of cops because what a minority of cops do I think you should listen and respect and like cops more
Thomas Young It's not really a job, it's something you *want* to do, because obviously no one does the work for the pay or public opinion.
True KingEthan respect is earned and as a cop and a human they have to earn that respect on every stop with a citizen as well as the citizen. It's a thankless job that only a select few can actually do and many more do who shouldn't wear the badge. People feel certain ways about cops because there are those cops that don't belong who do horrible things with the power they where trusted with. It's just the way it is
Thomas Young and a lot of them sit behind desk all day, doing nothing and being paid by tax money.
I would like to thank all police and fire officers. I will never forget the day when an officer arrived at my door and told me at 10 years old that my sister was in a car crash. Police and firefighters did everything they could and even came and dropped food off for my family who never left the hospital. Sadly she passed but it inspired me to want to be a firefighter. That was a few years ago and I am forever greatful to the police and fire officers
Chase your destiny ✊🏻
Thank you for sharing your story, my friend. I'm glad to have you as a part of the community.
I am very sorry for your loss but I am glad you have found what you were meant to do
Thank you all for the encouragement and I wish you all the best of luck
Thank you officer 401 for all you do
You compelled me to share my story and pushed me to hopefully soon be an intern with the local fire department
I’m the kid of two drug addicts, and all of my childhood memories is watching cops take away my momma , and knowing the reason I didn’t have a dad until I was 6 was because the cops took him before I was born, I was destin to hate cops , but I knew that every time my momma got out of jail, she wanted to turn her life around, she never did, but she wanted to, so I’ve always wanted to be a cop with the hopes that I’ll be some mothers breaking point, that makes her get clean, so my plans to become a sheriffs deputy, right now I work with children, and every once in a while a parent will come pick there kid up after just getting out of jail, or say goodbye on there way to court knowing there not coming back for a while, and it breaks my heart, which leaves me wondering if I’d be mentally capable of being a cop, thank you for this video, and thank you for your service
This was extremely eye opening, thank you for sharing this.
I quit my LEO career after just 7 months. Everything you said here is true and happens before your eyes, nose and ears. My takeaway was that I hated being there for the worst day of someone’s life, day after day, multiple times per day. I also took away one heck of a lot of respect and appreciation for police of all kinds. You deserve a lot more respect and money.
CCM Guitarist a lot of respect for you, people with weak self images and frail egos try to stay with it when it's really not for them. True strength of character to walk away. You are probably awesome at whatever you do now for that reason.

Good video. I hated traffic stops because you did not know what drunk fool will hit your patrol car or you, had it happen. Drunk drivers are drawn to flashing lights like a moth to a flame.
Frank ...thanks for the heads up on the flashing lights. Is their any studies on this?
@@LK-pc4sq everyone in public safety has seen it at least once...does that count for a peer review.
I'm a retired UPS trailer driver. They always said if you have to stop on the interstate to pull over as far as you could and shut every light off. Same deal a moth attracted to a light.
@@LK-pc4sq I suspect it's the same reasoning as in riding motorcycles you should keep your eyes on where you want to go. If you look to your right you will start drifting to it... now being drunk and focusing on the lights will make you drift towards them.
Drunk drivers can't see the lines on the road clearly - so they tail a bit behind your break lights in the hopes that at least YOU'RE driving straight and they can just follow your lights for as long as possible. The thing about that is, drunk drivers really can't tell the difference between a moving car's break lights and a red traffic light, or a car stopped at an intersection, or a truck's hazard lights on the highway shoulder, or even Christmas lights on a freaking HOUSE. Swear to God, I've seen drunk drivers hit, flip, kill, and destroy just about anything and anyone in their way. My parents are retired El Paso PD and they used to always tell me - "Remember to look three times before you cross a street, and green does NOT mean 'go'." Don't assume that everyone is driving as safely as you are, be defensive 100% of the time you're behind the wheel of one of those two-ton death machines we call vehicles 😅
This is the reality of being a police officer. Thank you for your service.
"I believe in shouting for those who can only whisper, I'm standing up for people who can't stand up for themselves." This is my favorite quote, and one of the many things that motivates me to be a cop.
Thank you for all that you do.

I was a paramedic for a decade , preach it sir. Well said video.
al dooze what was that like? I really have been thinking about going into a career as a paramedic, what's your opinion on the job
+Goofy U gonna see a lot of dead bodies. People smashed in traffic accidents, things like that. Part of your job is speeding in traffic to arrive on the scene, so it's stressful. You need to handle stress well and have to have the guts to handle people who got disfigured completely. Some people will die under your care no matter what, in front of your eyes. Things like that. It's a tough job, although much less risky than being a cop.
Be a nurse. You can still do emergency field medicine but get paid properly for it.
@Scott Rule To not be respected in the healthcare community for what they go through is a travesty. I understand that doctors and nurses see the same things, but the ambulance people are the ones who get them to the hospital. Where would we be without them? They've gotten my handicapped and very ill boyfriend to the hospital many times, when it would have been impossible to get him there myself. He would have died many times if not for them. My mom and dad too. Every (honest) job is valuable. Where would we be without each other? (I'm not saying you think this way, I was responding to what your comment made me think of)
@@donnaknudson7296 agree so much with you. The ambulance personnel are people who really want that job. Most important first line to the hospital encounter. Careing an giving.
My uncle was shot on patrol and i cant even begin to think how his friends felt after seeing him like that, thank u so much for telling people what actually happens to cops when they receive that badge
I just retired after 30 years. You were spot on brother. I experienced all this and more. We all see things you can’t unsee…….
Yes, like I can't un-see what happened to me by a liar with a badge.
Why do actors and NFL players get paid more. Imagine the outrage people would have it it was all fair. If I become president cops and firefighters and all hero's need to make more money
They get paid more because a shit ton of people pay to watch them. There’s only 32 NFL teams but there’s thousands of Police Departments.
5000 NFL players
A million cops. Math is hard.
Why people are so hard on this? NFL is a private business, they get paid by ads and sponsors. Cops are a public service paid by taxes, if you wanted to pay them more you have to take away from other public expenses.
I live in denmark and here the cops gets mandatory psychologist sessions when they have been dealing with death or other traumatic experiences. Maybe that pracsis could help the american cops as well
@@DeadDave666
That's a bald faced lie and you know it. What do you propose lawlessness ? Anarchy ? There are corrupt cops and that's a fact but there are many more good ones who take the job they do seriously. A sense of duty to serve and protect.
Sorry but you are a liar and must have a personal problem with law enforcement. Don't make blanket statements about the overwhelmingly good cops who serve to protect the rest of us.

Every Anti-Police person should watch this video
# retweet!!!
Not to start a fight in a comment section, but, regardless of the stress of the job it doesn't excuse the actions of "the bad apples". People aren't anti-police just because they want to be(for the most part), most are that way because of the evil, disgusting, brutal, psychopathic actions of some officers who then receive no punishment. With that being said, every law enforcement officer is a bad apple. Why? You cannot claim to uphold the law, then let your co-worker break the same laws you claim to uphold and call yourself good.
To end my comment I would like to say, I am anti-police but I am not anti-officer. I do not like where law enforcement currently is, but I am not specifically against my fellow human beings who choose to be apart of it.
lets spread this video!
Alarichswiftpaw I guess that make sense. I'm sure every officer has turned their head when another breaks the law.
It amazes me the things the anti-cop people who talk like all cops should be killed on sight. All this bravado when their anonymous, probably a sniveling coward in real life.
I think this is hands down one of the best videos you posted. My upmost appreciation to you for communicating the real side of the job. We need more cops like you...and more people like you.
It's so hard to have been born into the Police family, then being married to my LEO for 25 years to now having my own child an officer. It's a very tough life to live as a child of an officer, a wife and now a mother. I understand exactly what you are saying Sir and you havent Exaggerated one ounce.
I feel it should be mandatory for all officers to get at minimum monthly counseling..
Stay safe

I saw an episode of Cops a really long time ago (maybe early 90's). The cop featured as pretty senior, a Captain I think. He was clearly suffering from burn out. They got called to a murder scene. This guy, (who had a protective order against him) had broken in and shot his wife and kids, ranging in age from about 6 to 6 months. He killed his family then himself.
The cop took one look at the baby in the crib with his head blown off and just left. He left the camera crew at the scene, drove back to the station and turned in his badge.
You guys see the very worst of society every day. And how often do you get to see the good side? I have no idea how you guys stay sane.
"Respect" is not a strong enough word here.
Eric Taylor I swear I see your comments everywhere :D
Well damn... -i wish i knew which episode that was now-

We need cops. They are willing to do what others cannot.

God bless you young man.. Desert storm vet here that's experienced some things that are barely possible to convey. Your videos are truly needed in this toxic hateful culture we live in. Thank YOU for your service!
I’m really impressed with the way you delivered this deep information. You really maintained the proper balance of reality and reward with careers and law enforcement and it’s very informative and reliable advice. Thanks!
I work for children’s division and I am grateful everyday for the officers who serve and do the job that’s even worse than the things I see. Thanks for your service!
A badge is a ticket to the greatest show on earth.
I've never heard that before. But, it's very true. People have no idea.
officer401 It's an old saying my first FTO used to say to me. Being in law enforcement has opened my eyes up to things I never would have witnessed otherwise. You get to see the very best and the very worst of society. It takes a special breed to do what we do. Keep up the good work man and stay safe.
Hayden When working as a cop do you have time for family? Do you have any free time for yourself? what's the work schedule like
officer401 Did you hear about the kidnapped 1yr old black kid in Memphis Tennessee I think it was on a Amber alert
Captain Crunch I've always been able to make time for my family. There were definitely some rough patches from time to time but having a loving and supporting family definitely made it worth it. I have free time to myself on days that I'm off, I spend most of those days with my daughter. Work schedule varies depending where you go but personally I work four days on three days off with rotating weekends. Right now I work 9pm-7am. I get to be up to put my daughter to bed and I'm always home in time to wake her up for school and pick her up when she gets out so it's perfect for me
Thanks for your service and insight. Much appreciated...
Thank you so much to all the officers reading this. You men and women are the force that protects peace from chaos, and it takes quite a brave soul to do that. It's sickening to see people treat you so terribly for simply protecting the public from criminals, as officers have always done. Just remember, for every person that treats you like garbage, there are many more that love and respect you guys for the great work you do. You do so much for us, I just wish there was some way to do something for you.
Yes, wait til they screw YOU over someday...
My dad was a cop, and a detective. He spoke about a lot of this to me and my sister.

Thank you so much for making a honest straight up video about policing. I have 2 nephews that are firemen. They too deal with many of these tough moments. I fear that it will harden them too much.
Heard the same stuff you said in the video when I went on a ride along with a cop during high school, he said to be prepared mentally for the job as it takes a toll on you. Currently two years away from my bachelor and after that I’m heading to the academy and will finally be in this line of work. Been watching you since high school, and just appreciate all the videos you’ve put out. You motivate me to be a great future officer, stay safe :)

Just a question. I want to be a cop so bad. It’s what interests me it’s what I have a drive for. But I hear all of this bad stuff and like how cops don’t get paid that much. Like are you well off? Sorry if that’s too personal, I just really would like to do this job, but the pay kind of worries me if it’s really that bad and also what people think about cops.
Meghan Singz like any job it has its highs and lows. The money part most of the time have investments you can do like deferred comp or thrift savings plans for retirement. Also, most of the time there is always overtime available and parttime gigs you can get. Which ever departent you work for check around and compare saleries and benifits.

I have been at what I was told a horrific scene... two cops right up close is about all I remember... after as I was being loaded into the ambulance I saw something but put it down to we'll maybe I was dreaming. 4 weeks later I got to meet the two cops and found out that it wasn't a dream. Before the Ambo doors closed I thought I saw one of the cops legs just buckle under him and the other grabbing and holding him.. they looked distraught... turns out - I looked kinda gruesome and they had to we'll hold my bits together... so when the ambulance arrived and took over it was like these two cops (who most certainly saved my life ) were running on adrenaline and once I was safely in the ambulance - they collapsed with exhaustion. But never for one second did I see anything but two strong calm cops do everything they could to keep me awake... which included terrible singing and even more terrible jokes. I could not do what cop/officers (whatever you want to call them) do. They have so much more then physical strength. And I personally will be eternally grateful for the strength the gave me that night many many years ago!
What happened?
@@brittany7jeffrey4
Right.
Wow this really touched me I have a similar story. Im glad you are okay and Im thankful to have cops whom i can call angels
Greatful to hear you are recovering. Yup they sang to me to....it is charming when they are off key...
Let there be no doubt that when you sing to someone they shall always turn towards the sound of your heart.
Also had a cop sit by my bedside and make an amends to me. He is ah man amongst men.
I grow weary of people stating that cops can't make mistakes. They are human as,well. And sometimes the simple acknowledgement is ah greater healing than all the meds or surgery can provide.
It is the healing of the soul. It is ah sacred private moment.
I don't say his name...no need to create problems for ah mistake that anyone could make. Right now he knows I see him as one of the blue heroes....i call him Officer Hard Knight...it was a hard night when I met him lol. He was hard on me....but what is true as well is he was having a hard night!
We worked in out.
Privately, nobel...he is a great cop. And I would rather have him on the streets than off. He is the perfect hard core no nonsense guy when your in real trouble.
I guess I could have nicknamed him Officer d@!k but after he sat beside me....watching me get meds and drift off into oblivion with double ivs....i remember I was panicked because the meds made me loopy and I began feeling vulnerable. All I could say is..."I'm feeling it...im feeling the meds and I don't like it" I was terrified at the vulnerability the meds forced me into.
He gently smiled and rolled closer and warmly smiled and said " nothing is going to happen to you, I Am here. Just rest it's ok. I'm going to be right outside your door and no one is going to hurt you. I give you my word."
I wanted to say so much to him...i wanted to thank him, or at least say something snappy and entertaining but couldn't because of the sedation. I just looked up terrified. Muted. Feeling slow and dumb.
Many people like the sedation...but for me it means terror. You see I was intentionally set on fire at the age of 4 and sedation meant I was going to get debried, or some other procedure that was,a fate worse than death. It's probably why I don't drink much and never smoke pot....because for me when you guard is down you are vulnerable to a fate worse than death.
It doesn't matter that you are 50yrs older....the somatic memory remains.
The next cop that came in saw me shaking with shock....i was so cold....he got another blanket and tucked me in like a burrito. X marine....i thanked him for his service in the military and he said humbly...basically I was just an infantry man on the ground. I walked around alott and shot a few people. I learned how to take care of myself. nothing's going to happen to you....not on my watch. Your going to be ok...nothing is going to happen to you here. You can rest now.
Because I kept going into shock they kept sedating me# And I hated being sedated....like a wild animal struggling against a,will to survive...
I may not remember there names...but I remember there kindness. They were undaunted by my flinches or uncontrollable tremors....they sensed that what my experience in the world was also great....and there warm steady hands and unshakable compassion patience and understanding spoke volumes not in their words but their actions...a warm smile, waiting till I fell asleep, tucking in around my feet, reassurance that for that time no harm was going to come to me....and NOT retracting when I flinched but meeting that knee jerk reaction with a warm smile and gentle touch and persistence as if to say....you are safe with me.
Something deep and profound which was something my mind knew but my body didn't listen to.
No enemy shall harm you....i am your ally...i shall watch over you until you are able to stand up again....and
You shall be alright!
Cops, they are all different in their own ways. And it takes all kinds of folks to have a well rounded force. Officer friendly, officer hard knight, officer Cadillac, deputy b52 (from the love shack), officer tinker bell, the golden mean, peacock (swatt)...patrolman Kelly Clarkson and the rainbow band(no joke we were chatting and suddenly when she started speaking of spiritual perspectives and her personal beliefs a rainbow appeared!), milkshake, officer cookie (she was the one with the bag with the best cookies), officer A-1, Lamborghini (his real name is Ferrari but he's a c hristian so I remember him by the saying two shakes of a lamb's tail), there's oneduhwoman, woody (from toy story...no kidding he looks EXACTLY like the character and I did not name him his coworkers did), there's lionheart, officer goody 2 shoes, GQ, dolci gabbanna, moma bear, officer sassy (cat fights broke out with that name), queen of the damned (she works corrections and is a sweetheart of ah gal), LT sweettalk (I can't speak to him much because he makes me soft inside), motha Teresa, Tom thumb, funny thing is the toughest ones like the softest nicknames, like deputy bunny (a male btw), and when I saw tinker bell I said let's change your name up 2 something more hard core and she got a twinkle in her eye and said "I Am the Mexican Tinker bell. You gave me magic powers,and I Am not giving them back!" Everyone laughed....that was that I guess....
As an investigational journalist and fiction writer I gathered all of the names into a group called "the Bam.boo" club. I thought about writing a little book for only law n4rczment to cherish and smile, Mickey D likes his burgers lol...and 007 is very james bond lol...i have over 4 depts on the list....even had to quell a couple of sword fights and cat fights over a name here and there (can you believe one LT from another dept tried to Shanghai ah name from another dept....he got a 28p love note from me stating although I ape.re.cia.ted his forward move it ain't happening lol. Rank does not matter, neither does color, or anything else, each gets there own individual call sign and he got ah 10yard penalty...there is officer Samahdi on his crew, b9k ah k9 cop duo, and I think officer terror-bite, she's cool though....
The goon squad (ya have to be over 6'1" stature has its priveledge ah lovely group in booking that will happily greet those entering hotel California who are in need of that extra special loving care 4 those who n.joy ministering (counseling) those who need extra ah10shun every now and then. I always say incarceration and arrests need not always be an unpleasant experience as long as you play well with others and abide by kindergarten rules of following Good Orderly Conduct and keep your hands to yourself right.
These are the Bamboo Club....those who protect and serve, who are the n obel onez, tirelessly carrying out there duty everyday...in ways the general public can not imagine.
It is these that I strived to work well with....
It is these faithful men and women who not only changed my life but the lives of others. Daily.
They are....the badge of spirit, humanity, faith, and grace.
They are not only the letter if the law but the spirit if the Law.
They are the Bamboo club....the thin blue line....
They are justice....
They are the long arm of the law
Who bend their knee and stand watch over the streets devoted
On high watch
They are the ones who sacrifice
Their badges shine brighter than the son
