Well, I have come to the conclusion that my screenname here is lame...for two reasons. Number one, it's not original. Number two, I created the screenname before I was sworn onto the department, to later find out that the county sheriff's department didn't actually have deputies... it had police officers. Something about more state / federal funding for police departments...hehe.
Anyways, I'm going to stick with it... so hello from northeastern Indiana. I have been a sworn officer for over two months now, working inside the county jail. I leave for the ILEA (Indiana Law Enforcement Academy) on September 11th. Yes, my first day will be the 5 year anniversary of a brave and sad day for many police officers, fire fighters, and EMS crew, along with many other innocent lives. I look at it as me offering up my services in tribute to those that lost their lives... even though I'm not in New York.
I've enjoyed reading the forums for months now, and I might get more involved in some of the threads. Quite honestly, being such a newbie, I've wanted to keep my mouth shut so as not to put my foot in it!
I'll look forward to reading any and all replies. Have a great week.
