One more here. 15 year veteran. 5 more years until I am off probation. Maybe the question should be are there any members who are not police, fire or military (throw in engineers and that covers a good portion of the rest). I once had a lady refuse to open her security door to me and call 911 to verify who I was. I was patient with her but found it amusing because I had over $6000 in police equipment on and a $50,000 city police cruiser parked in plain sight. Expensive ruse for a serial killer. On the other side of the coin, I once took a burglary in progress suspect into custody in a suit and tie because I was right there when the call came out and saw him running through a field along the road I was driving on. He, oddly enough, respected my drawn weapon and never asked me for I.D.
