This is an article of a very observant off duty police officer working as a part time security guard who was able to help a teenage girl.
She was apparently walking (didn't say what time) when she was abducted and in the wee hours (4:30 am) he found two men trying to sexually assault her. He arrested both men. Kudos to him--he deserves commendation!

It seemed like almost every police officer I've met also moonlight as a security guard or a bouncer elsewhere. If they aren't doing security or bouncing, they are often involved with a defense type situation (as a firearms instructor, martial arts instructor, or similar). I also know of a few who are in the National Guard.
This brings up the question: Is the off-duty choice of activities an extension of the primary occupation and never being able to let go of this mindset due to training, or is it more of a certain personality profile of gravitating to these types of activities?
