Had one. Great guy, but I had to move. Fun to see his "sobriety tests" on neighbors at the end of neighborhood parties.

It is nice (for me) that Cleveland has a residency law. I live in cop land. I have a police officer or other city employee in just about every other house on my street. It does keep the property value higher in my area.

What is also nice is that you get to know these officers as regular folks. All nice people, but somewhat reclusive (shift work I assume).

Neighbor is an auxiliary deputy sheriff and one street over is a deputy.

My LEO neighbor is a sargent in a nearby suburban city. He worked much overtime to build his own house next to ours. Great guy. Family man. Offered to let me borrow his glocks to go to the range back when I was deciding whether to get a glock.

Carries a conversation well, too. I wish I had more time to chat with him, esp. when he's working his yard on weekends.

For the house I just moved from:
One neighbor is LEO for larger city 30 miles away. Cheif of Police for local force is about two streets over. 2 Deputys within 2 blocks. 2 more SO Deputys within 5 block radius.

From where I am know. None. I have one SO Deputy within a mile. Sherriff within 4 miles. 3 Highway patrol within 4 miles. Several SO Deputys live in town (where I used to) which is 2.5 miles away.

Cops as a whole are pretty good neighbors, at least the ones I know.

What if we are former LEOs? I'm often in two places at once so I could be a nieghbor to myself. That count?

The neighbor's doggie was a LEA. Does Officer Sniffy count?

Used to have a US Marshall two doors down, city cop two doors down the other way and deputy county sheriff across the street. Nice people but we rarely interacted as our schedules were different.

Having a LEO close by doesn't mean crime won't happen. Had a gunfight erupt next door couple of years back in the house between me and the US Marshall. After the shooting stopped and the police came I went out and saw that the county and the city crusiers were in their respective driveways. The sight of those cruisers didn't stop the shooters in the car from shooting at the house and the shooters in the house returning fire.. I moved away a year ago and the US Marshall is the only one left.

Nope, not the immediate neighbor. Next door is a firefighter but there's a Daly City cop up the street & a retired chief lives in the houses behind mine.

No, but they are often in the area cause a bunch of druggies live around the corner.

There's a sheriff's deputy a few doors down--great guy. Across the street is the widow of a sheriff's deputy; she's in her late 70's and was the first female sheriff's deputy on the force way back when.

Around the corner are several MPD officers.

Former neighbor across the street was a local PD officer. He was the biggest goldbrick I'd ever seen. He worked 2nd shift, and the squad rarely left his house--pick it up at the station at 3:00, park it for most of the eight hours, drop it off at 11:00.

No I don't and my neighbors don't know what I do for a living.
So their answer would be no also. :D

My next door neighbor is a Special Agent with US Customs (used to do drug interdiction, but now prowls SFO in plainclothes looking for suspicious passsengers- he says it is boring as all hell). His wife is a Federal prosecutor.

Also in our small development (47 homes) is a San Francisco patrolman and an FBI Agent.

So I voted yes.

A Deputy lives across the street, but he's the biggest jerk in the neighborhood. Also the most blatant and long-term violator of our covenants. I guess he thinks the rules only apply to others. Pretty sad excuse for an LEO.

Several living in my neighborhood - one couple is a husband-wife team of city cop and state trooper. There's usually a city prowler unit and a Camaro highway patrol pursuit vehicle parked at their house.

I do, but he is moving. So I am I. We got along when we all first moved into this neighborhood then a issue with his dog (not a LE dog) put a HUGE wall between us.:scrutiny:

A number of former and present LEO's in my neighborhood. So far they have all behaved tolerably.

None within 15 houses. Two LEOs (and one arson detective, formerly) in my housing complex and one detective in the older part of my complex.
