Pros

Money. This is it. Take into consideration cost of living and you're not doing that good, but in terms of police/security, they pay.

Cons

Zero job satisfaction, zero opportunity for advancement (unless you have major connections). This applies to intel, swat, threats, bomb squad, firearms, promotion, k9, patrol, everything. 1600 officers, intel, bomb squad, firearms, etc, take 2-4 new people every 5 years. If eventually you want day work with weekends off, you literally need 15 years on. Management (sgts, lts, captains, etc) are power-trip maniacs, have no people skills. I could go on all day, it's a horrible place to work. Go anywhere else. No joke, I did my best to warn you.
