Thursday, April 12, 2007Where was this technology when I was a cop?Last night I was sitting there just finishing up dinner when Mammoth showed up. He's one of my karate students, works for the same company as me, and helps me out in training security officers. He was stopping by to check on the upcoming training schedule. While we were talking, security got a call...

Picard thinks that the guy is his enemy and they take a long time to get to an understanding because the guy speaks in sentences from...

I usually try to get a post in on one of them but I just run out of, not time necessarily, but energy. Working in a casino means that weekends are the busy times. So I work until 2 or 3 in the morning and then get back up at 7am when my son gets up....

It was wasted on her. She had her mind made up about us. The three of us were interviewing people that wanted to be cops. This would lead to all kinds of funny stories that I'll...

I made several other DUI arrests but they must have been the more mundane type. I'll tell you about some of the other DUIs that I was involved in over the years but I'm going to take a break from that subject for now. I used...

We were sitting there talking because there were no calls and no cars. It happened a lot. It was possible to work a whole shift and not get a single call or make a single...

And like the night before and so many that summer, Milan was out patrolling with me. The number of DUI arrests that I made only encouraged me to go look for more so we were out making traffic stops. I would stop just about any traffic... Sign in to see full entry.Monday, April 2, 2007Drunken Summer - Part 2Me and Milan were out patrolling one night. It was the Summer of DUIs and even though we weren't really looking for them, it was on our minds. We were just cruising around getting a feel for what was going on in the town. I liked to do this when I came on duty. Just drive around a lot of the main...

With all the other duties they had, and how small the town was, they just didn't get that many. They would congratulate each other when they found out the other had made a DUI arrest such...

The drunk women were out in droves last night but that doesn't have anything to do with his music. The women came out for Clay Walker because of the combination of cowboy look and...
