Hi again,
I am not defending the cheaters in the ranks of the LEO's, however the vast majority of PO's are not cheaters. We take a vow of Integrity, Honor and Service. That is not to say that we are not tempted. An offer of money or a quid pro quo does not have to happen for a person to be arrested for solicitation. although it is not enforced in many states, fornication, adultery and lewd acts are illegal. Just an officer threatening to make an arrest if he is suspicious, (and they are by nature), would be enough to shake any PI out of trying to get him in a trap.I don't want to argue over this subject, yes many PO's are bad in keeping their marriage vows and many have come to me for counsel, however, the vast majority of married PO's are not cheaters.
I was on the force for 5 years, my son, my nephew and many friends are PO's. In the past 18 years of counseling within the LEO community I have heard a lot and seen a lot, but I can say that during that time most of the marriages were healed and made whole. A great many of them were from misunderstanding, miscommunication and alcoholism. Divorce was easy way out and certinly not rampant. That is my experiance.
