The number one thing I hate about being an law enforcement officer

I came here to vent.

I’ve been a cop a little over 4 years now. The number one thing I can is hard for me and probably many other women is: having to go to the bathroom. I can go on and on about it. First, our equipment is so heavy. Probably sticking together from sweat. When I have to go to the bathroom I’m literally jumping up and down getting20 pounds of equipment off of me, unsnapping, unclicking , unbuttoning, turning off body camera, etc. You don’t understand how many times my equipment have gotten stuck together or intertwined and had delayed the process of me getting on the toilet. There are times when I’m far from a toilet and hold my pee for HOURS, men can go find a bush. Lol I’m thinking about purchasing a female urinal LMFAO. God then when an emergency happens, I have to finish my business and rush to get dress, fix uniform wash hands then run to car. It’s exhausting. I’m not even going to talk abouut pooping. lol there are times when I refuse to eat or drink because There’s a low chance Ill have access to a bathroom.

I love what I do and I love serving people. The next time you see an officer, especially a woman officer, PLEASE thank her for her service and dedication ❤️❤️❤️
