  1. Have any of our friends in the UK been to any of these places, or perhaps even live in one?

  2. Paul, I am very sorry to hear about your friends death. Sadly, this is not an uncommon thing to happen in law enforcement. One of the officers in my department, David March, was murdered by an illegal immigrant who had been deported several times before for drug charges and assault. The reason he killed Deputy March was because he was afraid he was going to go to jail again. He is now down in Mexico where he is free to live out his life without having to worry about his government capturing him and extraditing him back to the US to face capital murder charges. While I did not know David March personally, I know a lot of people who did know him. In the 15 1/2 years that I have been a cop, I have been to 13 cop funerals. I have know 4 of these men personally. It never gets easier. I am going to stop now because I am starting to ramble and get angry. I have to go to sleep soon and if I get wound up, I will not be able to sleep.

    Remember Paul, it is normal to feel angry and want to get pay back. Just make sure, when you finally do hit the street, you don't let your emotions get the best of you. That's how officers get hurt.

  3. Thanks for asking, Edna! My back is doing better, but I can only sit for about an hour before I have to move around. The most problematic area now is my shoulders and neck. I have 2 more weeks of physical therapy before I see the Dr again. Thank goodness it was a work injury and the Dr's expenses are being paid by the county.

  4. Hello all! What happened to our little format that we had? I liked (was familiar with) the old one. Oh well, if it means I will now be able to get on without having to wait, or not get on at all, I am all for it! I do need to learn my way around again, though. I can not see any avatars...

  5. In the name of through investigation, I have zoomed the picture and found that there is no chick in a red bikini. What you saw was a more prominent shot of a red beach towel. There are two other people on the beach with them. The guy on the red towel that you saw as a chick in a bikini did not shave that day.

  6. Get as much education as you can before you go through an academy. It is easier to do it before you start working full time as a cop and will really be a boon if you plan on moving up through the ranks. I am telling you this because I made the mistake of joining up before I finished my studies. It is 15 years later and I am still not done. Good luck.
