[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3241165, member: 5391"] 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. [/QUOTE]
