So you may be asking why listen to this guy? What makes him think he can tell me about being a cop? Well I am and have been a cop (Police Officer) in Florida going on 33 years now.
I have served in both small and large agencies (3 and a break for serving in the U.S. Army). I have served in many different units, Narcotics (where I was involved in my first shooting), Patrol, Traffic, DUI Task Force, Dive Rescue Team, Traffic Homicide Investigation, Training Unit, Academy Staff, and now my current position (for the last 20 years) Police Academy Trainer (and Police Commander up until Dec 6th, 2010).
I teach and travel a lot, teaching all over the world. I have been as far away as Singapore to teach their police officers. I am currently the Police Academy Coordinator at a major North Florida Institute of Public Safety.
