Winter Range

 

Qualification has been redone. The stages are new and for the better. Gunfights and shoot-outs are all at close quarters. The  course reflects the stats  Scoring is pass or fail. Passing is five point higher than before. I shot tonight and passed.  

 

 

A Request

 

The department is sending out letters to recently retired officers asking them to consider coming back. Those returning would work on a limited contract and receive officer and retirement pay.

 

 

When You Defund Police: Traffic Fatalities 2021

 

The pond had 67 traffic deaths in 2021, beating the record of 59 set in 1996......

The Chief has asked the officers not to stop drivers for minor offenses.

There is no traffic division. There are on-call traffic fatality investigators. 

 

 

Bidding

 

The precinct is bidding for shifts and days off. I returned the text on my vacation to let the reorganization proceed.

I took Afternoons with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off.... The same at it has been for years. 

 

 

 

And Two

 

 

And the pond started the new year with a double homicide........

The Vic

 

Per the Fleet Manager, I have the last Crown Vic in the department. He turned in the four Vics at Training today. 

 

 

Balancing

 

The department hired six today. The total hires for this year is 27. The good news is we only lost five officers in November.
