I've already applied to both these agencies and I am having a difficult time still deciding which department to go with. If one agency DQ's me and the other accepts me, its obviously an easy decision at that point, however there is a very likelihood that both these departments could give me an offer (they are both agencies that are very much in need to hire many new officers compared to other agencies due to understaffing).

I am curious if there is anyone here who is knowledgeable about either of these agencies or have gone through the process with them. Feel free to comment or please send me a pm, we can discuss.

1. I compared the pay and benefits of these two agencies and they both seem fairly decent. Baltimore starts at 67,000, and DC is at 75,000, however Baltimore is cheaper cost of living, so technically you might save more than DC. I'd still think the pay and benefits are similar though.
2. Both agencies you have opportunities to experience lots of action. Everyone knows about Baltimore's reputation as having lots of action, and DC police gets its fair share of action in parts of SE DC (Anacostia area).
3. In terms of culture, Baltimore PD might have the edge to old school policing, they are still allowed to use the old wooden batons, they have tasers, they even are allowed to get in pursuits. I heard that DC police aren't issued tasers to new officers, no wood batons, and the pursuit policy is heavily restricted. It sounds like DC has lots of strict rules. If your someone who prefers old school ways baltimore might seem more like it but if your someone who wants more strict rules then maybe DC might be your lane (I heard DC is more strict because it has lots of federal overlap). DC might have the advantage of the most latest new inventions possibly( I am not sure on this one).

One of the concerns I have with DC is being called constantly to do protests where your standing for a whole shift watching some protest in DC (even if I am not working in the main capital buildings area). I'm not a fan of doing protest duty (most cops during the 2020 riots didn't enjoy that)

One of the concerns I have with Baltimore is the city leadership historically. Generally they don't seem to be a tough on crime law and order type city like some of these florida sheriffs. In DC for example, they sent the feds in to clean up DC (im not sure if that makes DC police look good or incompetent)

I've done a lot of research over the years on the best places to do game in the USA. I know historically the most popular cities for doing day game have always been very highly densely populated cities + a decent female/male ratio, Cities like New york city always topped the list. Many dating coaches call NYC the mecca of day game. I heard a dating coach who compared miami to NYC and he thought that miami is the dollar tree version of NYC for day game. NYC has a constant funnel of women walking around and there are just so many to approach you don't run out. Back in the early 2000's when pick up was getting popular, I heard NYC was the best at the time.

Fast forward to today in 2026, I am curious if NYC is still "the place for day game" or if its not the #1 place today?

Here is the main concern I have:

NYC was not always extremely progressive to the extreme as it is today. I sometimes sense there is a huge "feminism anti-men attitude" in these blue cities across the USA today that seemed to have exploded after Me-Too era. However to give benefit of the doubt, I wonder if this trend is slowly going away "hopefully". Of course I may be wrong, and maybe this trend will only get worse? who knows. Some might argue that NYC is so huge that there will always be variety but I know clearly the majority based on votes is that the city still leans blue. Someone like myself I tend to prefer more sweet women who are more gentles spirit and submissive, rather than these independent women who act like men.

Other than this concern. NYC is still the biggest city in the USA, most densely populated, and there are more females then men (good ratio).

What I ask is this, is NYC still the number 1 best spot for day game or am I better off going to a large us city with more submissive sweet type of women (if that exists?) at the cost of not having a large amount of women to approach (steady stream of women) in NYC?

Today in 2026 I need to be smart and strategic on my time dedicated to approaches. If I approach over 100 women in one day and the majority of them are not submissive types, perhaps I am wasting my time and need to change strategy.

What do you all think?

This approach is so cringe, she clearly looked uncomfortable, do you think this actually works? I bet a million bucks she probably ghosted him. At O:22, he is like "YOUR NOT GOING ANYWHERE" . Man if I tried that approach here, I'd have security getting called on me. The fact that she kept trying to go away made me think she was uncomfortable.
