Dating in the Police.

For what it's like to be married to a male copper, see here. But what about when two coppers get together? Domesitc bliss, of course.

But we police officers never date our own kind anyway. After all, having spent twelve hours together during the day, stuck in a car with the same person and having talked about everything under the sun, you could not possibly want to go home and bitch about the same topics with them again. Being the broad-minded souls that we are, we cast a wide net to find our loved ones. Many of us choose to go far afield and do not date our tutor constable, nor even anyone on our shift. It is hard to believe, but a lot of coppers actually date people on other shifts at the same station!

This has its problems, here are a few of them:

• You feel like sex at 3am when he is working nights.
• He feels like sex at 7am when you are working earlies.
• When neither of you are at work, you are both sleeping.
• You end up ironing his shirts even though you swore you'd never be that kind of girl.
• You deal with a prisoner he arrested the night before and discover that he couldn't be arsed to take any statements, write up a handover script or seize the guy's clothing. Ooh, there'll be trouble when you get home...
• On the few occasions your shifts overlap, the sergeants won't let you near one another for fear you have sex in the back of the transit van.
• On the one occasion you do manage to work together, you have sex in the back of the transit van.
• The entire station will closely monitor the progress of your relationship, possibly even sending out emails to their colleagues with updates.

On a positive note, at least you know the other guys on his shift will stop making lewd comments about you (in front of him at least).
