Charlie’s Redheaded Angel – My guess… Jacocks is fed up!

April 20, 2010

I heard about Jacocks retirement notification last night and after my initial shock, the first thing I thought of was budget cuts.

Charlie’s Redheaded Angel – How about that Ride-A-Long??

April 19, 2010

Yes, I finally got to go on my ride-a-long the Friday night before Easter. I have been remiss in my summation merely because I took a VACATION – something I have not done in what 10 months or more???    Did I mention my taxes? No one wants me to go there. I would like [...]

March 18, 2010

Cops nabbed 9 drunk drivers last night at 3 DUI checkpoints, thereby saving them and their potential victims!  Don’t forget that stats show that most people arrested for a DUI violation have probably driven drunk around 87 times prior to being caught.  Who’s in charge of following random drunks with a counter?  I want to [...]

Last night, “Monk” had lined up a special treat for our group!  A trip to the VA Beach “Correctional Center”.  That means JAIL for any foreigners out there.

Should I give up photography?

March 11, 2010

Our buddy “Monk” sent out a job alert this morning for a Precinct Desk Officer I – Police Department.  Just for kicks, I decided to investigate.
