Only you can make the decision on what to do. If you want to be a police officer, be a police officer. If money is a motivating factor, try private enterprise.

It depends on the laws of your state. If I understand your question, it is legal for one officer to issue a citation based on another officer's observations (in at least some states - if not all states.)
