My First Day
My first day was interesting to say the least. Within three hours into my law enforcement career, I already had to draw my weapon. And to top it off, the bust that my FTO and I made, was 6 o’clock news worthy. I recorded the story but haven’t digitized it yet, but I will […]

Now it Feels Real

K-9 Bite
Had a good weekend. The interview with "Hellotown" went well as far as I know (no, that is not me in the picture). It was a little nerve racking. Since they are such a small town, the panel was made of of a Lt, the Chief, and the Mayor. It was awkward. But their department […]

The Phone Rings
So finally I get a phone call. I’m using fake town names here by the way, as the internet does not need to know every detail of my life. And that picture to the left if obviously not me, just fits the subject of this post.
So a Sgt from "Hellotown" calls me and […]
