Switch Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share #26 Posted April 24, 2008 Silvrt, We'd never laugh at you; we're laughing WITH you. You couldn't expect to know unless you either had been one or had heard the term somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted April 24, 2008 Share #29 Posted April 24, 2008 Not meaning to Hijack this...but I just want to tell all our LEO's here, that thank you for what all of you do and have done. I have never got a ticket that I truly didn't deserve and I know why we pay you. I couldn't do what you all do....I'd shoot as many stupid people as I could before I was removed You're welcome and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petekadish Posted April 24, 2008 Share #31 Posted April 24, 2008 I put in my ten years and I was K-9 for the last few. If someone could just figure out a way to eliminate all the unbelievably ridiculous politics which seem to surround all aspects of law enforcement, I could almost see myself returning to it again. But, I left it all about eight years ago, and I have to admit it sure is nice to have my nights, weekends, and holidays again. Plus, I have an awesome job now which I still look forward to going to each day, even after six years. Life is pretty good! All you guys ..., Be Safe!

Bigfoot Posted April 24, 2008 Share #32 Posted April 24, 2008 Marilyn and I are both corrections officers too. Does that count? We babysit what you others catch! 2 years 11 months and 7 days to go! In my book you are. We used to have one correction facility around here that was owned by the DC Govt. We locked up as many correctional officers from there as we did regular bad guys. They shut down eventually. Most CO's though are good honest people and more often than not get breaks. Of course I also give breaks to ER docs and nurses who may one day have to put a catheter in me.

Moakster Posted April 24, 2008 Share #36 Posted April 24, 2008 Fifteen years to go and counting. Hours are terrible but the rewards are great. Weekends, holidays (special events) just part of the job, 24/7. It is a job that is worth doing if you crave something different everyday. Many a day you upset an individual by giving a traffic ticket and get complained on and the next you find a lost child or elderly person who wandered away and are the hero. Love it Moakster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spear Posted April 24, 2008 Share #38 Posted April 24, 2008 27 years, 2 months and 17 days as a LEO (that's 9,959 days - but who's counting?) forcibly retired on 20/09/2005 and given a medical discharge at age 54. The last 20 years were spent in forensics. They're still paying me until I turn 60, then I will commute the half a mill sitting in my superannuation fund and invest it for the future and for my 3 kids and their families. Meanwhile I have been taken on board two and a half days a week by my state Corrections Department, working with community-based offender services. And as luck would have it, my pillion-in-a-million bride of 35 years is my clerical officer, working the same 2.5 days each week. Doesn't get better than that! Don't have to work, but need to maintain the social intercourse (and pay for the fuel for my 2004 RSV!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petekadish Posted April 24, 2008 Share #44 Posted April 24, 2008 That picture was taken during a SWAT Dog training seminar (Winterfest II), in Ogden Utah about 1997. The activity pictured here was learning how to repel from a fire-training tower with your dog. You should have seen the look on my dog's face as I put him in a harness and put him out the window. It was kind of like he was thinking, what did I do to deserve being thrown out of a window? And, believe it or not, I never did have the opportunity to deploy this type of particular training - and my dog was perfectly happy about that. He didn't find this exercise to be nearly as fun as finding drugs or bad guys. However, I thought it was a hoot! Be Safe! Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brscooter Posted April 24, 2008 Share #45 Posted April 24, 2008 When I posted I forgot to mention that my 2 sons ares LEO also. Oldest has 10 years in and is a Homicide dick in Baton Rouge (same dept as me) and the youngest works in the prison for the EBR Sheriffs office in Baton Rouge and has 9 years in. I was lucky to have 2 out of 2 kids turn out good in this day and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest divey Posted April 24, 2008 Share #47 Posted April 24, 2008 Any chance you know or crossed paths with Jim Scott? Just wondering. He was a neighbour back when I was living in Winnipeg. I worked with a Jim (J.R.H.) Scott up in the Arctic for several years. He had spent many years up north but not sure if he was ever in Manitoba. He's retired now living on the west coast.
