I stand for pretty much most of the day. I am a police officer and the ache is localized behind the knees and in both hamstrings. I do stretch often, but the ache persists.

Unfortunately your muscles are being over used and that is why you are having chronic pain. If you have a access to a Jacuzzi I would recommend you do it every day to help relax the muscles.
A good qualified massage therapist would be able to work out a lot of the pain, so you can go Through your days without constant aching.
If you don't have a access to a Jacuzzi take a hot bath every night with 2c. of Epsom salts dissolved in the water. this will help the muscles relax.
Take a calcium and magnesium supplement twice a day as this can help with the pain.
If you have any further questions just let me know,

One thing i suggest trying is using some Bio Freeze. Its very good and easy to apply with out any mess. You should be able to get Bio Freeze at a Chiropractors Office if not just refer to the web link at the bottom.
Anther product I use on my back which talk about killin the pain but the smell is intense and you need to wash your hands after applying it is Tiger Balm and you can get that usually at Wal * Mart or on the web site at the bottom. See link.
I highly suggest that you get into see an orthopedic surgeon to have them really do a once over on your knees that there could be something more underlying.

You may have a tear in your ACL. That is the ligament in the back/middle of the knee. You could have injured it running after someone on the job. I would recommend seeing an orthopedic doctor (bone and joint dr.) about it. Get an mri done to see what is going on. In the meantime keep doing your stretches and try applying some heat and see if that helps. Good luck to you.

Your job is very demanding ....therefore the special lady in your life should concentrate a little more on these troubling areas while massaging you...Hopefully you did not pull anything while in hot pursuit..Take long baths with some Epsom salt and just relax when you get home...that heat can really help with your stretching.
P.S. Hope you feel better...

Acupuncture is the only solution for it, not the pain killers.
It may disappear if you rest.
Try massage and heating pads or hot brick/sand pouch twice a day.
Hot mud bandage on painful site will also help; use soil from hill preferably.
