Well, sounds like you just need to hire another officer to help with all that......hint hint hint. :supergrin:

Seriously, glad to hear everything's good. I understand about the neverending stream of idiots; one of the accounts I work is a Section 8 apartment/townhouse complex. All sorts of fun, let me tell you......

CJ, not sure if you would want to relocate for about 36,000 per year.....I just hired one new full timer, he is leaving for the academy December 12th....If your serious, send me your resume' and I will keep it here, and spread it around...

But, damn...its cold up here in God's country!! LOL

PS, just had one of my night shift officers- disarmed- his glock 21 was removed from his holster by the offender in a struggle, the BG's uncle got the gun and handed it back to other officers coming on scene...

Things are not the same anymore...even in my little neck of the woods...

:shocked: Wow. That's nuts, but good that the uncle got it away from the scumbag. What kind of holster was the officer using, just out of curiousity?

I am looking for an LE job, but I don't know how I'd end up up there, lol. Still just waiting to see where LB ends up going to grad school at, and then where it goes from there. As to the cold, well, I'm a 2-time heat casualty. I deal MUCH better with the cold than the heat, lol. And $36K/yr is about $7K/yr better than LMPD here starts at. Other local agencies start at better, but you generally have to be a lateral with 5 years or more on at another agency to even be competitive. What's the cost of living like up there?

OMG Chief I'm glad that the officer is ok and that the uncle was apparently on the right side. Wow :hugs: :angel: Prayers to y'all -- that has got to be extremely stressful even though it turned out ok.

[CJStudent]

Just for the record, Chief, I was just teasing at first, but now I'm intrigued, lol.

[WPD80]

Just for the record, Chief, I was just teasing at first, but now I'm intrigued, lol.

No sweat CJ.....Cost of living is kinda high here.....Homes are in the 90's or above.....You can rent here for about 600.00 per month for a home, apartments are limited....they can be had for around 450.00 or so.....Gas is 2.49 per gallon here....Everyone here uses the infamous WAL-MART for food and such. We have our own grocery store here, however the prices are a little higher...My officers all are married, this provides them a second income...Hell, my wife works also....She works at the nursing home here in Walnut.

36,000 is a good start here...you do get a 1600.00 christmas bounus and 500 for uniforms a year.....There is NO overtime right now.....Just comp time....You also get REALLY GOOD insurance here...Cost is 75.00 per month for an officer and his family....

Tom:supergrin:

Tom:supergrin:

That's not a bad deal at all. Actually lower rent/house prices than here. :wow: Houses used to be around that range, but now are well up over $120,000+ for a basic ranch-type house, not even in that great of shape.

Well, now if I can get LB to go to grad school/get a job up there.......:whistling:

[CJStudent]

So how crazy was it for you up there, Chief?

I know! I lock the door and she still finds her way home...Kinda like ole' yeller! LOL OMG please don't tell her I said that! (ducks)!

Did you here we had an officer disarmed up here....second time now in about 3 years.. the first one ended up with the BG shooting himself with the glock (no loss there).... this one ended up with the glock 21 getting removed from the officers holster in a struggle. BG was strung out on heroin and attempting suicide...never got it done! Oh well, good news is the officer is okay....Funny thing is that this officer never wanted to carry a back up....thought it was not needed! well, lets jsut say there is a little change of heart now.....lol....

I think I still have it from the patch-trading, but I'll dust off the resume and send it up there. It might be a while before I'm able to get up there, though (like around a year or so).

Reminds me, though, I have another patch to send you.

I bet it was, too. In Louisville, as armed security, we're technically not allowed back-up weapons, but I know of several that are well concealed on people, though.........:whistling:

[Hack]

Hi Chief! I thought I posted in this one earlier. I'm kind of like CJ, doing good to keep up with some of the other stuff.:embarassed:

Heck the housing market sounds a little bit better than here. You are not far from one of the fed joints that we have in IL, over at Pekin. If I get picked up there, (haven't heard much lately), I will have to look around the area.

I'm going to try to get that patch out to you Monday or Tuesday (the new one from the park that I told you about before), and I can throw the resume in there as well, if I get a chance to sit down and get it updated, lol. Don't have a lot of time this weekend, as I have drill.
