Thanks...and I couldn't be happier :)

Aysgan, I'm not sure what state are in but if you visit your local courthouse (in person or on-line), you should be able to find the information you are looking for with the eviction process. Every state is different but will give you the run-down of maryland so you have an idea of...

My significant other: And all of us at the beach:

Almost 2 years (wow). I've missed everyone here a lot so its good to get back into the swing of things.

Same department as before. No plans on leaving or changing it. I love the job I do and the place where I work. As for the trains set, lots of stuff still sitting in boxes. I had plans to set everything up completely but will soon have an addition to the household so my 'Train Room' will be...

Its been a very, very long time...but somehow made it back. How is everyone? I've missed all of my friends here a lot and its great to be back. (Thanks Alex)

"It is what it is..." That is a term I learned from a fellow officer and it holds true. First, its good to back after being gone for a month. I am deeply troubled about what took place while I was gone. The threads that were created about me...and then the constant attacking when I was not here...

OK...I was hoping for a logical discussion about internet safety for kids (children and teens) without involving any specific incidents :ty: To those of you at AD who are parents, what do you do for your childrens safety and protection when it comes to the internet, such as monitoring their...

I meant to add to be sure to check with different agencies in your area. Different departments have different needs. Our crime lab will be different from those in the surrounding jurisdictions. Our department acts as its own entity seperate from other agencies in the state. Because one...

Even smaller agencies would be an issue as far as patrol goes. Remember, smaller agencies work on smaller budgets so you would be more likely to be alone covering a larger area. As for criminal justice degrees, I would first explore the options available to you in the law enforcement field...

It still becomes a safety issue. What if you and your partner get seperated? How would you hear his call for help on the radio or other officers? How would you know where those shots were coming from? The reason I mention this is a few years ago, we had a gunman that barricaded himself in an...

Lilly's Dad...you are explaining one of the reasons why I enjoy it here at AD. I hear different stereotypes all the time and am quick to correct them when they come up. Just yesterday, I had an officer ask me 'How can deaf people drive cars....they can't hear horns or sirens'. I wanted to slap...

There are other jobs within the police department where somebody who is deaf could work. I would not recommend it on the street for a number of reasons...the big thing is safety. I use my hearing for so much other than communicating with somebody. For instance, I have had people try and sneak up...

Maybe I will be the unpopular one here but I disagree with you. There are reasons they want doors like that locked and secured. Just the other day, there was a rash of school shootings. Now they are learning the gunman in the Colorado school had scoped out the school for 2 days and wandered...

Empress...Actually I can compare myself to you. So can everyone else. We ALL have barriers and hurdles that need to be overcome. Just because I do not have a physical disability does not mean it was an easy process. Secondly, you have no clue what MY life has been like, so don't tell me I have...

Empress, Something to consider is the amount of applications they had. You had mentioned standing in line for several hours in order to even apply. That says there was A LOT of competition in the running as well. As others have said, I'd rather not get a job because I was overqualified. I...

Is chat open to all members or is it invitation only?

Yup....this is probably going to get ugly. Its one thing to threaten it to get your way, but to go and do it....I do have a feeling it will be China that takes care of this for once.

Im kind of curious if there is any statistical data available. Have illegal abortions gone up since the law was changed? Many people claim that banning abortion is bad on the grounds it will be unhealthier for women because they will seek alternative abortions (ie, crooked docs, at home...

I also responded to your post without seeing your response to this. I always have a tough time with any language....I know enough spanish to get somebodies hands up, out of a car and down on the ground....Our department is big on 'Command Spanish' and not conversational spanish. The thing with...
