I stand as an ordinary citizen. I have no right to; detain, interrogate or otherwise interfere with your personal property-... basically all that means is I'm a cop."-Officer Ernie

Closest job to actual law enforcement is working proprietary security, not contract security like most hotels have. Having known several officers who worked security for casinos in Las Vegas, while the job can be fun and exciting they are in no way like law enforcement. From what I hear Nevada restricts security but I can be wrong on that. Heres some advice, you want to drive around and act like a cop then go to work for a police department, if you want a little more excitement then go to work at a college or airport or military base.

Originally posted by EMTFirefighterWell, there's the difference. My campus has only about 10K students. We also answer calls off campus, make arrests, traffic stops, etc. The only thing you do that we don't is arrest on arrest or bench warrants and carry a firearm.Last edited by Tennsix; 03-24-2006, 09:16 PM.I believe I speak for everyone here sir, when I say, to Hell with our orders.

Originally posted by TennsixIn NY, how is a peace officer different from a police officer? In Indiana, a police officer and peace officer are one in the same. Some people think we are security and are baffled when they learn we are in the drugs task force, have SWAT officers, and FBI academy grads, and run a police academy. That is why I said a lot of people have no idea what all we do. They think we are high priced baby sitters.Some Kind of Commando Leader

It is a police ID card that carries the name of your agency, your rank, your serial number, your photo and the signature of the chief of police (or county sheriff as the case may be) that makes you a police officer.

Originally posted by histfan71A badge means nothing. There are plenty of wanna-be security guards out there who can buy a very police-looking badge from unscrupulous badge manufactures (Blackington comes to mind) that can fool the average citizen.
Blackington is unscrupulous???? (that's a big word for this old Marine) I know of a few companies and at least two LEO Agencies that use Blackington!

Also, police badges have been stolen or have otherwise fallen into the hands of the wrong people. One of the Hillside Stranglers here in LA, I think it was Kenneth Bianchi, lured his victims in by flashing a perfectly authentic California Highway Patrol badge he bought at a swap meet. I have no idea how the CHP badge ended up at the swap meet, but was probably stolen.

I have known several contract security companies to have Blackington make their company badges with the California state seal and words such as "Private Law Enforcement" and "Special Officer" because scrupulous badge companies such as Sun Badge Company and Entenmann-Rovin wouldn't touch their business with a ten-foot-pole.
While oval badges are not illegal per say here, Sun and Entenmann will not make badges that resemble those of local law enforcement, which they define to include oval badges, for private security. They only two shapes they will make for security are seven-point stars and the eagle-topped tear-drop shaped badges, much like Tennsix's avatar.
In these parts about 7-8 years ago, there was a PI who called his business "Office of Special Investigations", and I think he was based in Riverside County. His badges were made by Blackington and they were exact reproductions of the badges carried by Special Agent's of the Air Force's Office of Special Investigations, except the rank read "Agent" or something similar rather than "Special Agent". When this guy got busted for impersonation and some other charges the local newspaper showed pictures of his badges, that's how I know the story.
