Here is a little advice from someone who was married to a cop. It takes a special person to be married to someone in law enforcement. Most cops who are married (over 50%) end up divorced due to the fact their spouse can't deal with the midnight shifts, the on-call hours etc. I was able to handle these things because I never thought about how dangerous his job was (he was a Border Patrol Agent), yes I said was, he was killed in the line of duty in 2007. He was 45 years old. We were together 30 years. I was just 15 years old when we began dating in high school, so I knew him before he became a cop. It was an adjustment, but because I loved him it didn't matter that he wanted to go into law enforcement. So, here is my advice after my little ramble. If you find someone you like who is in law enforcement, and if you can accept the fact that he or she might not come home at night, go for it. If not, don't even bother. You can't change a cop. they are cops for a reason.
