Mom wanted me to be an engineer or lawyer... I chose the job that is not behind a desk. And because of that I got into some interesting predicaments this past two weeks. If I were to plan a subu...

Not much for this week either... at least when I hit that truck with my patrol car it was considered a pinning maneuver and I didn't have to go pee in a cup.

I wish I had something good to post about but there just hasn't been much lately. I've been busy running from call to call but nothing real memorable. I guess I shouldn't say that - Two days ago...

Often people will show up at the Police Station thinking they will get to talk to a Police Officer faster than if they called for one from home. I guess some Police Stations have Officers there a...

I've been thinking about the numbers a bit the past few days: At a minimum I drive 150 miles a day in my patrol car. Often I travel over 200 miles in a day but I'll just leave it at 150. I work f...

Matt M, thanks. Hopefully that was just a comment that came across much more dick-like than you intended. I'm pretty confident we'll be looking back and laughing about it over a beer. But even if...

In Alaska news... well it all happened in Anchorage... The state doesn't allow much in the way of gambling. Bingo and the rippie cards are it. But lotteries are allowed if they benefit some non-p...

Comment from the last post: "Matt M said... There is a difference between weather and climate. I could go into this a bit, but I am afraid I would be wasting our time." I say: Way sound like ...

Global Warming is Bullshit. Need evidence? Look at Alaska. I have been residing in temperatures that for a high are 0 degrees for the past two or three weeks. Normally the temperature is -20 degr...

This is a bit of a rant; sorry for the cursing. Two weeks ago I went to a call where the neighbor said people next door were fighting again. I get there and a woman is leaving the residence and ...

I've decided to take a few days off of work to get some home projects completed. As I was getting off of work on my last day though I was having some issues with my patrol car. I didn't want to d...

Liz and Berserk began a little discussion about DUIs and it was focused around the SFST in cold climates. I started to write a comment back but it turned into more than a comment's worth. Liz & ...

During the academy we spent a some time learning about DUIs (DWI, or the new lingo: OUI). I've heard in some states they are a quick arrests and there isn't much paperwork. In Alaska it is a long...

Internet is finally up and working. For now this is what I've got: Darwin struck again and won! Three guys (it says armed but I don't see their weapons, three on one though...) tried to take a du...

The internet is broke... or my computer. Either way I'm using the computer at my folks house. Stupid internet.

Darwin finally won one! I'm just glad the bad guy pointed the gun in the right direction and not at an Officer.

I've been slacking in the updates department (among many other departments). I got a message a long time ago about adding Lagniappes's Lair . Then I got distracted by shiny things and didn't get ...

A mom is angry at me now: Take a road that is barely lit, a bicycle that only has the peddles as the rear reflectors, a kid that is wearing dark clothing, and that it is the first heavy snow fall...
