Maybe if some of the financial services like Charles Schwab, Edward Jones, etc., would actively seek out clients like police officers, the police officers would be rich by the time, they are ready to retire. All the cops need to do is be patience, keep investing for the long haul, and ride out the bad times. Of course, it would be nice if financial services would keep their noses clean; however, the problem is that we Americans don't take white-collar and corporate crime seriously like we do with murder. Then again, Corporate America doesn't like a clean police force because it is "bad business" for them.

thanks
Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for mentioning us. We are now putting into place an investing product/system that will give each first responder a personal financial advisor, series 7. It is a big investment, but I do think the first responders need this. And, don't forget us if you want to finance a fleet of police cars - we can make it easier, quicker, and less expensive.
Best wishes,
Dennis Smith
