Dating for Law Enforcement & Corrections

Police Officers Dating — On Your Schedule

Why dating is hard for police officers

  • •Not everyone is cool dating a cop, and it shows early
  • •Shift bidding means your schedule can change in a single pay period
  • •Court days on your days off aren't really days off

Why police officers are worth dating

  • ✓You know how to read a situation faster than almost anyone
  • ✓The four-day blocks off are genuinely free time
  • ✓Dating another officer means neither of you has to explain the work
