He explained that as times changed, newer younger LEOs started to have fewer ethical standards and viewed their sworn position as a job or occupation rather than a career or calling.

THis is a complaint I hear from retired officers also. maybe it is just older officers complaining about younger or maybe there is something more to it. One has told me that 30 years ago if a guy came into his department and didn't view it as a calling the other officers would basically force him out. He agreed that as pay has risen relative to other jobs this has been one of the effects. I know most, although not all, LEO in my area seem to think of it more as a job then a calling at this point.
