COP OUT

[JDMPRO777]

So... try not to beat me up too bad on this one... I am a U.S. Army combat veteran with 14 years of service and also have 8 years of Law Enforcement experience. I have lived in Siem Reap for one year and have a Khmer girlfriend and new baby. I like Cambodia in spite of its issues. Two topics covered here I would like feedback on if possible. First, I was thinking of attempting to become a Cambodian Tourist Police Officer. I realize this has never been done before by an American citizen but why? I bring experience and know how to deal with drunk tourists. A sort of liaison perhaps. I really would like to get involved and feel I could add a lot. I have police in my new Khmer family which may or may not matter. I have seen conflicting information on this. I would even be willing to offer cash I suppose. Any thoughts? Secondly... I looked into APLE (NGO) which many of you may know about. They work with a variety of departments both in Cambodia and the United States and employ undercover informants to prevent and disrupt the child sex thing. I have emailed them multiple times over the past 2 months and never heard back from them. I offered my qualifications but nothing back. I live in the village (only white guy) and have grown quite fond of the kids there. From time to time I see suspect individuals creeping around and once, I am not ashamed to say I saw one of these assholes talking to a kid. I knew instinctively what was going on and I literally chased him out with my machete. No joke. Was more than a little worried about getting fried after that but nothing ever happened and I never saw him again. What is the deal with these guys? I offer my volunteer services; I have undercover experience; I have experience as a cop; I have a half-Cambodian kid of my own.... and nothing.... thoughts?

Cambodian employers don't usually respond to emails. You need to find another way to contact them.

they have Expat police ( and immigration) volunteers here in Thailand in many of the major tourist cities, NO ONE likes them and they all have the same background as you seem to have, A few here have been arrested for taking money, selling drugs, extortion. Many seem to be on some ego trip
No idea why anyone in their right mind would desire to deal with drunks, unless they were being paid for it.

BUT if ur set on it why not ask ur relatives that you say are cops??

Wont comment a bit on APLE

Just my $.05 worth

OP, You should apply for a job as a sniper at that new spy academy.

hmm sniper.... see my other post titled cya. RENOUNCING. funny you bring that up because I have thought about it (not the sniper position mind you)...... sorry CIA if you are monitoring.... but shit is ridiculous now. Good luck with WWIII. May go a little different than the last two... just sayin.

Try contacting that ex cop from Australia. The one in PP. Managed to forget his name. I'm sure someone can remind me.
