I've had several good friends who were in law enforcement and who were also involved in BDSM and/or authority-transfer relationships. It's not any different than anyone else in any other job -- you connect and you take your chances. It helps if the person has been involved in the community for a while, if you're a newcomer and worried about getting caught out somehow. Most of the folks I know who work in law enforcement have taken on the often mountainous task of instructing their co-workers about getting 'beyond the myths' when it comes to BDSM and authority-transfer, and were really dedicated to the local community. It wouldn't have been the same without them. While I suspect that a few of the folks I know would maybe raise an eyebrow at being asked to assure someone that they were only there to enjoy/participate and not as part of any official or unofficial investigation, most of them would chuckle and offer that reassurance. If it were me, and I worried about it, yeah, I'd ask the question. Whatever it takes to feel safe in your environment. Just understand that, if it -is- about prosecuting, that agreement not to use the information to develop a case would be irrelevant, essentially, if someone were caught in criminal activities.
