Good luck on the State job. How long have you been with the University?

Doing fine here and staying out of trouble.

Just started year 9 back in July. The state job would be dispatching for the Maryland Transportation Authority Police Department.

Yes and no Rick. For the state I would primarily be dispatching police like now unless I was at the dispatch center for the airport in which case I would be handling calls for police,fire, and ems. I would do away with some aspects like CCTV, access control, and alarm systems for the most part.

The first and second generation SDs are the best looking. 99-04.

They all had the same body but the 08 was where Ford went wrong.
