Howdy Marv!
I'm already there....
I loved patrol and I loved being a Sergeant but this is much better for me and my family. Plus it's a welcome change and something I'd had in my sights for quite a while.
Ain't that the truth.

Howdy guys. Just still trying to make sense of that jerk that shot and killed a brother in blue the other day up here at Virginia Tech. I'll never understand it I guess.
Anyhoo, I'm not working the street anymore. I got promoted to Detective the other day so now I'm working Mon-Fri dayshift 8AM to 4PM. No more swingshifts, working traffic in the freezing cold, screwed up sleep patterns, etc. Life is good.

Right now we're all General Detectives Dave. They're in the process of restructuring the division and we're all going to have specializations....they just haven't told us what we'll be specializing in yet. They're waiting until after January 1 to tell us.

Yup.....although I've been doing that for years too Don. We're in a small town with a population of about 8800 but with 20 motels in town, our population grows by about 3000 on an average night. With two interstates intersecting in the middle of town, we get it all.

They're not too hard to track down here either. Plus I've got some really good tipsters.

In eugene, being a low life is encouraged!.........You have rights!
There are 2 citizens watchdog groups over the PD and a "Human rights council"
On the other side of the freeway in Springfield, Law enforcement just got a brand new jail, knocks heads, and fills that jail!

I don't think anyone will. Some just snap and do crazy things. Fortunately it's incredibly rare, about like getting hit by lightning. The hard part is not dwelling on it. The common sense part of your brain is telling you that it's rare, but I'm sure it's hard not to feel it's personal when there are people killing cops simply because of the uniform they wear.

I've heard more than one story of someone committing several crimes in one day until they make the mistake of crossing the bridge.
