I’m a cop too. We should meet sometime.

Thank you guys for all the kind comments.

I thought the answer to the question was "so I can drive fast, eat free, and shoot people."

Congrats on the 30 years!

“We need to recruit a new cop.”

“Say, Chief, what about the kid at the convenience store?”

“The one who keeps buying, selling, and trading baseball cards? I can just see it now, he’ll start buying, selling, and trading firearms...”

BWAHAHAHAA! How true!

My brother got on as a dispatcher at a small department in the state of Washington, just south of Seattle. This was about 1970. It was a fairly routine job until one night a friend of mine came running into the station and a man was behind him with a gun. My brother talked the man out of the gun and called in the cavalry, who took the man into custody.

He had found his life's work.

He got on the department as a reserve, and applied to the County Police. He started out as a rookie patrolman and worked his way up to be come the youngest captain on the force. He retired some time back, and comes back to shoot with me from time to time.

In his career he has been in the harbor unit, the jail, a patrol sergeant and a precinct commander. He was also the CO of Special Operations (SWAT, S&R, etc.).

Congratulations, GED. You impress me as a good man.


He started with S&W revolvers, went to the Beretta 92, and the department finally went with Glocks. Now, he carries a S&W 686. I find that gratifying.

Congrats on your 30 yrs. You were the first on OSA, that we bought a S&W snubbie. That was 10 yrs ago. My son and I drove to Seminole. We also bought a Glock from you a few years ago. You were always funny and courteous. Proud to know you also. We need to get together again sometime. I know you are busy if you still are working two jobs.

Congratulations on 30 years of service. Very cool story. Did the guy that came in ever tell you that the Chief wanted to hire the guy that went to work for the fire department instead?
