I lived in the same city that I worked in as a Police Officer. I even worked in the ghetto with some of the people that were considered the worst of the worst. If I saw one of those people at the store we usually exchanged pleasantries and went on or way. I never knew any a gang member to take it personally. in fact me and one of the biggest gang leaders and I used to joke about how we were providing each other job security. It was business to us. I never had an unlisted phone number
A friend from school worked for a state agency. He was shot with a machine gun while serving a warrant to a pot grower; minor stuff. Badass inner city gang leaders are conducting business rednecks think they can shoot their way out of anything.
I was born in Texas, raised in SE and Central Oklahoma so I am allowed to point out characteristics of my own group

Many areas require officers to live within a certain distance to the department. The official reason is usually so they can report quickly in an emergency.

Yes,but some police departments have a residency requirement which makes their officers live in the community in which they serve.

Yes, I dated a cop for awhile... he lived about 40 miles from the city he patrolled. He told me it was for that very reason....

im no cop, but from what i have seen they seem to buy houses in the lowest crime-rate areas ... most have families , so that makes sense i guess.

Hell yes.Why would someone who deals the vermin of society during their work day want to live next to them.Police see to much bad during their work. That's where they want to leave it,at work.
