While out on social occassions with people I never have met it comes up what do you do? I was very used to just saying a police officer but now promoted, find myself fumbling at times to give an answer other than a cop or sgt for nypd (yes I no this is lt forum but there's more people in rank here). so when asked what answer do you usually give?

I tell people I work for the city and leave it at that. If they push then I say "I'm a lieutenant in the police Dept"

First I ask them if they are familiar with the shows CSI & Law in Order.. Then I tell them I work for middle management and leave it at that. If they are pushy I tell them I am a "Lieutenant of Men"

Lol. How about when you tell them you are a Lieutenant and they respond with a head nod, followed by - "Are you going to be a Detective one day?" lololol

With people you never met you should be careful, I would recommend that you tell people that you work for the city. If people get pushy I would tell them that I work for sanitation, only after you have gotten to know them and trust them can you tell the truth. Sad world we live in but it will save you from having to deal with people that do not like law enforcement and making an assumption about you.

I tell them i'm a cop usually. It sounds cooler.

Stories connected with there family are always good. Besides, I also want to build family, so in this case I need to have the best dating source where I might find someone. Just hope that somebody will leave it here

Hey! I really sincerely feel sorry for people who have lost their husbands or wives and are forced to be alone. Recently I came across a site on the Internet, see this it is really useful. On this dating site, widows and widowers have the opportunity to find a mate or even the love of a lifetime. It's very cool that there are such sites.
