I am a police officer. Last August 10th I stopped a car and while I was walking up to the car, I stepped on some uneven concrete. I turned my left ankle inwards tearing two tendons and a ligament (%$#@*). It hurt. I went to the comp doctor and was told it was a sprain and they gave me an X-ray...
I want to take the time and thank all of the people who served our country. I know that you and your families suffered from being away and missing important events in your family's life. I was ready to sign on the dotted line when I was offered a job with the Evansville PD and have been there...
I know that over the last several months, we have taken a beating in the media. But to sum it all up, most all of us do it to help people in need. Few see the side of officers that I do. The ones who find battered women and men places to stay over night. Officers who dig into their pocket to...
It's my birthday today which doesn't mean anything. It does mean that I am quickly getting to mandatory retirement from the police department. So far 39 years in August. "Okiegirl" started "going blue". Thank you, it means a lot when you see the support that people have for the people who...
I won't and can't give a lot of specifics. Last fall, I was called out by an officer on a strange, very strange find. A bank was opening unused safety deposit boxes. For some reason there were not any records of the person who rented this one out or when. If I could tell the whole story, it...
I've heard news that's a little disturbing. I don't know if it is old news to some but new for me. For some reason badguys are starting to put red tips on the ends of their guns to make it look like a fake gun. I can only assume that it it to lure a person or officer into a sense of comfort...
I just bought myself a "bailout" bag. Nice thing to have around if you need something real quick. It's an over the shoulder bag with velcro pouches for two Glock 21 mags. It has room for 6 .223 mags in the middle. I have some extra room for a cell phone, knife, spitmask, rubber gloves, cuffs...
(Just for fun) I need help picking the right model. As of now, money is no object. The PD, FEMA and the wonderful tax payers will be footing the bill. I need to know the right options. I could use some type of frame on the font to wisk away all obnoxious chickens that happen to get in the...
Fox News has reported that Joe Paterno has passed away. I have no problem with saying that the molesting of children and the association of the Penn State football team is wrong. Those that participated or had knowledge should pay. And pay they will. I don't know the involvement of Coach...
Just for a while. I have a daughter who is in the Army. Her husband is in the Marines. She is at Ft. Lee, he is at Quantico. She went to LSU, he went to Ole Miss. She will be giving birth to our first grandaughter any time. I have two grandsons here in town.
My daughter is a big time Cubs...
There was/is no job that was unimportant. Let's hear what you did or if you are still serving. We all forget that you are taking or took precious time out of your life to serve. We all forget that you took time away from your loved ones. Thank you.
I know most of the officers have, and this is not to exclude them. Have you ever been in a situation where you had to pull your weapon in self defense. What I would like to hear is the situation, emotional thoughts, did tunnel vision kick in, the outcome and would you have done anything...
I talked this over with ATM who stated that this would be worthy of a new thread. I carry an AR at work. I carry it in "cruiser safe" mode. None in the chamber and the safety on. Everytime I chamber a round, it leaves a small dent on the primer. I have to chamber a round at least once a...
