Just thought it might be interesting to see how many of us have been or currently are in law enforcement, whether full time or reserve. I fall into the reserve category. I'm currently a deputy with the Williamson County Sheriff's Department, Tenn.

Re: Law Enforcement Officers
Justin,
I am a former Deputy Sheriff for the City of Newport News, Virginia. I left the Sheriff's Office to move to Kentucky. I was employed as a full-time Deputy for over 3 years. I know it sounds odd . . but, I miss being a Deputy. It’s more of a sense of honor, wearing the uniform. Currently, I am an Officer on my Fire Department (18 years this October) . . working on becoming an Arson Investigator. I'm almost done with my degree . . and, have already received my certifications in Arson Investigation.[FONT="Book Antiqua"][I]I Remain, Your Obedient Servant[/I]

Re: Law Enforcement Officers
I don't think that sounds odd at all. I patrol about 20 hours a week ( on top of a full time 50 hour a week job), and I miss it when I'm not in the patrol car. I am lucky to be a deputy in an excellent department with some great officers. I also consider it an honor to be a deputy in my county, because I was born and raised in this county.
PS - If anyone reading this has an extra patch or two from your department, let me know. I can trade some of our department patches. Just a little side hobby of mine.[B]Justin Morris[/B]

Re: Law Enforcement Officers
justin,
i was employed as a georgia state trooper for almost 8 years. i am currently employed with the crisp county (ga) sherrif's office. i left the state patrol for family reasons, buit loved my time with them. being a state trooper afforded me opprtunities to do things that i otherwise would never have gotten to experience. i pretty much get to do the same thing with the sherrif's office, just on a smaller scale. being in law enforcement is a lot like being a reenactor/living historian, once the bug bites, you can never get enough.

Re: Law Enforcement Officers
Thank you. I figured that almost anyone in DSS would know them.
I had Dinner in Quantico with Eddie back in Dec. of 2002 when I was out there for a TAD trip to the Base.
Both were exceptional RSO's, and I enjoyed learning from, and working with each of them.Brian Hicks
