Advice About Dating A New Police Officer?

He’s been on at his department for a year in a small town,of about 25,000 and his department only has about 25 officers. How busy are they, really? He is constantly telling me he really is into me, but we don’t see each other a lot because he is always being called in off shift due to such a small staff. Unfortunately, we live 45 minutes away from each other, and the town he works in, is actually another hour the opposite direction. Any advice on what my expectations should actually be as far as spending time? Thanks!!
