It's a case-by-case basis for what you want to do and what department you work for. Most of the time, police department employees get good retirement benefits, and there are many policies in place to keep a positive workspace.

Can department of veterans affairs police officers carry off duty?

Legally and lawfully - if they are considered to be sworn law enforcement officers by the state, they may legally carry a firearm. HOWEVER - their agency (Dept. of Veterans Affairs) may have some kind of an agency policy or rule that states that they may not. Under H.R. 218, VA police officers are given lawful authority to carry off-duty. This is a mandate by Congress which allows ALL federal law enforcement to carry off-duty. Though a VA facility may prohibit the bringing of off-duty firearms to work, the facility cannot overturn the Congress in terms of H.R 218.


How many hours per day and days per a year do police officers work and how much time off?

(in the US) Police officers are customarily salaried on the basis of a minimum of 2,080 hours of work per year (52 weeks X 40 hrs per week). Their shifts may vary from 8 to 10 to 12 hours depending on the needs and schedules of their particular agency. All law enforcement agencies serve varying levels of government (municipal all the way to federal) and in a country as geographically widespread as the US there is no uniformity in salary scales or vacation benefits. Each individual agency will dictate those. A new recruit will get not less than 10 days vacation per year, and a senior officer, in some agencies, may get up to five weeks (25 days off) per year.

What is the job environment of a police officer?

Knowledge about police officers' job satisfaction to date has been limited to empirical inquiry based on individual officers' educational level, ethnicity, gender, and rank/years of service. This study explores the effect of the agency work environment on officers' job satisfaction in addition to the usual demographic variables. Until now, the police work environment primarily has been viewed in a pejorative context, synonymous with workers' stress, job burnout, cynicism, and alienation. Analysis of survey data from a medium-sized police department in the northwestern United States suggests that a police agency's work environment is a principal source of job satisfaction, regardless of the measure of the dependent variable employed.
