Day in the life of a Cop

This documentary will take you on a journey through a police officer's day. From beginning to end, you will find out what it is like to be John R. Holmes as a cop and as a person.
I would like to give special thanks to the Bloomington Police Department for the permission to shoot this documentary.

[@Bane03X]

This guy is now Detective Holmes according to his Police Departments Facebook. Good job.

Well when he has to deal with shit like 2 females arguing inside panda express I'd want to get out of general duty too

[@rickh5009]

Yes. JR is now a Police Detective...

[@1truthbegettingtold275]

This one time I read a cop got put up for promotion and pay raise for shooting a guy. As soon as he was cleared of wrong doing, he was made detective

Always loved the music at the beginning of the video! I remember watching this when I was younger-ER

[@Wyttt95]

Am I the only one who thinks this guy talks very quiet lol

[@AutobahnSean]

it makes him that much more intimidating

[@skrivbok]

Then people from northern Sweden must be VERY intimidating... we are known to be quiet and not much for small talk, lol. We can basically communicate by exchanging looks amongst each other, haha. Maybe I'd sign up for duty within the Detroit Police Department...

[@skrivbok]

***** That's the ever fashionable people of Stockholm you're talking about. They look absolutely ridiculous. No masculinity left. We in the north on the other hand... this is where the testosterone of Sweden went, buddy.

[@skrivbok]

***** You're most welcome. We are known to be fairly (or very) silent up here; an entire coffee break of 15 min. at a workplace might consist of a couple words or sentences and then silence whilst everyone's enjoying coffee and a cinnamon bun. That's part of our culture up here; hanging out in silence is socially accepted here.

[@skrivbok]

***** Haha. The first one would be "jävlar", and literally means "devils", but is used in a similar manner to "fuck" or "godammit". Pengar means money. Both singular and plural.

[@ShadowPrapYoung]

I remember watching this when I was a kid and now I’m an adult and remembered this video 😂 it’s great to be back.

[@Elavator66]

Me too! the music espeically stuck with me!

[@kylecullen4789]

Silly comments aside, this was a very well done short documentary of a Law Enforcement Officers day. It showed not only a minor infraction traffic stop, but also a incident where the officer had to react fast to a situation. Very Very Well Done.

[@1616raerae]

Very nice man!! We had the pleasure of him answering our call. Great laid back personality!!

[@ips7]

Great video, really nice that someone like you makes these videos and gives the public more of an understanding of what you guys do for us.

Nice virtual experience, thanks!

[@iAmFAUST]

This was comforting to watch. I wasn't sure about my future, and I just applied for non-sworn peace officer training with the academy. I am more than qualified for other county and city jobs, but to my dismay, no luck. I am tired of staffing agencies who have no intention of getting you hired permanently, and seems like this is the only job where I can make a sufficient living for myself to live in the world, while also taking pride in knowing that my life would be with purpose for the sake of good.

[@davehenss]

Great Video! Very well edited!

[@BassFishingWithTKHeaven]

Appreciate your service. Stay safe!!

[@16Craft82]

I thank you so much for making this video on the daily life of a cop, but not only that showing the life of a cop in my home city were my grandfather was a chief in this department and I dream of being a cop in this department as well. To anybody that is curious my grand fathers name is Phillip riley and he was chief for about four years I believe...

Nice video, it really tells a story that cops are just standard issued people going to work. I really enjoyed watching, wish it was longer. Thanks.

[@Iad83]

Interesting video. Always wondered about those radios.

[@MaxAndersonFilms]

Pretty cool video. He seems like a chill guy. There was obviously a lot of thought that went into the shooting. I would have liked it better if the sound mixing was tightened up. But solid overall. Good editing too. Perfect way to end it with the remote control.

[@classicalmusic1175]

That was really interesting. Thanks.

[@jasonhenderson5964]

Dude, thanks for taking the time in making this video. I'm living in the S.A. and would love to move to the U.S. for this job. I know getting into this job is next to incredibly hard non the less. But what are the odds of me having to join the force? Except for fitness, I've noticed there are hidden questions in the exams that could tilt the whole outcome? I'd love to know more

They can, its really up tp you where you get dressed up.

[@deputy_tatum1173]

Usually bigger departments have the whole locker room routine

[@skrivbok]

I thought it was mandatory, more or less... where I live, officers are not allowed to bring personal equipment home - and especially not weapons of any kind, unless there is a direct threat toward either the officer him/herself or the officer's family. But that's Sweden...

[@AngelRivera-uh1es]

They don't take fresh high school graduates. You gotta be 21 to become a cop. And you will need job experience. My best advice for you is to work part time or even full time somewhere for 3 years then apply to your local police academy. .

Great cop! You're doing a good job man, keep patrolling the streets!

[@1truthbegettingtold275]

You say that based off of one day of footage. Ok, I will admit I never saw one piece of evidence of wrong doing. Then again, who controls to content output? And Indiana is nothing but heroin related crimes, anything related to drug addiction really.

[@SuperBuildsInMC]

@@1truthbegettingtold275 actually it's Meth addiction that's the most common, heroine is up there though

[@1truthbegettingtold275]

Alcohol and opiates in general, then next comes meth then the heroin so yeah, guess you are right. Cannabis will be everyones favorite choice, maybe not using as much as a pot head but they would drink less on 1 joint or bong a week. But once all those pain killer popper switch to heroin or use it to get opiate fix then that demographic has shifted, even if they used heroin once or twice.

[@leebob86]

@@1truthbegettingtold275, why don't 33 try solving real crime? You know, where there's a victim. The definition of a crime is damage to one or one's property. Who is the victim when one is travelling, not driving 71 in a 60 m.p.h.? The state? How can an invisible entity be victim? Government means mind control. A.A.S.R.F.

And here i am making a whole brochure on what we want to be when we grow up ✌️

[@xOhhLauraa]

hoping to be a cop someday. wish i could be a k9 handler, unfortunately not many women do so.

[@jasonbravo2939]

don't let that stop you. They said women would never wear anything that didn't cover their legs and they do, they said women we lesser people and should give in to me and women are independent in this day in age so if that's something you want to do don't let anyone stop you.

[@jasonbravo2939]

my advice would be to go into the military for military police which is open for women and be a k-9 handler and get the experience so when you get out you can be fast tracked past other officers who haven't done it yet plus the military will pay for your college it will be tough work but very doable best of luck.

can't wait till I grow up going to be the best cop my dream job

[@nonstop9907]

I am from the other side of the ocean, in the UK, and hope to make it in to the Emergency services one day, this video was pretty interesting, since in my job, I am a Security Officer, and the morning part is pretty similar, except the rest of my day is not nearly as exciting, as what I imagine being a Police Officer would be like, and we don't have the PPE that Security in the US would get either unfortunately, anyway keep up the good work out there, Id help an officer in need any day.

I'm prior military and just applied to my local PD. I have a couple of questions for you. 1. You look like you stay in shape, which is also important to me. How hard is it to get to the gym with an officers schedule? 2. How long before you went out solo? 3. How long before you get to try out for detective or something else? Thanks for any advice.

[@morninmichigan1824]

Well whether or not you got into your local pd idk, but I'll answer your questions 1. Yeah, that is kinda hard. If you can my personal suggestion is do running/jogging/biking daily when you can before work. 2. With the majority of agencies it would be after a 3 month (8-12 week) FTO period. 3. Depends on department, but usually 2-3 years as a patrol officer.

[@jamestaylor5341]

1. Must cops are obese alcoholics with psychiatric issues. 2.its an unskilled job 3. As long as your only partially retarded.

[@jamestaylor5341]

1. Must have zero employability and be intellectually challenged.
