I currently work as a police officer in Detroit, Michigan.
Metro area with over 4.3 million people, that's quite a lot of action for a police officer. Do you ever have boring days?
Not often. Detroit is a heavy crime area unfortunately.
Yes I've heard as much, sadly. Have you ever been involved in any street riots? I can't imagine how stressful that would be
No riots, but I have had to break up gang fights.
Ah, gotcha. You'd figure with it being basically the center of the US automobile industry, there'd be plenty of jobs to keep everyone busy.
Yes, I agree but it isn't that way unfortunately.
I suppose even though Detroit is big in the US, we still can't quite compete with China, now the world's largest car manufacturer.
Yes, i'm sure that's because everything is cheaper in China.
Cheaper to produce, cheaper labor rates too. And it's not just China; Japan's auto industry is one of the largest in the world too.
