My dad is a cop. or you can call him a police officer, also known as an officer, policeperson,
What can you tell me about his job? Is it dangerous?
It can be very dangerous. He told me In most countries, "police officer" is a generic term. And it does not specify gender.
Does the term police officer mean keeping the peace?
I do believe it does. When you join the force they make all officers take a sworn oath.
What do they swear to in the oath?
They swear to protect and serve the public. they also have the power to make arrest and detain people.
Since its a dangerous job are police officers paid well?
Not as well as they should be if you ask me. I think the ones the are plain clothed and go undercover deserve moree for trying to blend in as ordinary citizens.
