There’s no doubt about it, Police Officers have some of the most difficult jobs. From dealing with domestic disputes, to drug busts, to even the routine traffic stop, their daily routines are filled with unexpected challenges every day.

However, there are a lot of hard-working police officers that have to deal with a lot of difficult and challenging situations. There are even times when police officers have to deal with bizarre or even humorous situations.

1) First Experience With A Psychopath: Worst criminal I’ve ever encountered was a teenager who had murdered two men by stabbing them in the head with a screwdriver. The thing that disturbed me the most about him was his complete lack of remorse whatsoever for the crime. I never really understood was a psychopath was until that moment in my life.

2) Is There A Problem Officer?: One late night I was on patrol and found a van parked in a rural area. The driver’s side door was open and the driver had his legs sticking out of the window propped up. The guy was completely passed out and had no idea I was even there. When I shook him to wake him, he sat back in his seat, did up his seatbelt and closed the door then said “is there a problem Officer?” The guy was drunk out of his mind.
