Law Enforcement

For sixteen years, from 1978 through 1994, I was a career law enforcement officer. During that time, I gained many experiences, made many friends, and observed many situations and circumstances that most people in ordinary careers do not see first hand. Overall, I learned a different perspective that most people don't have. Here are some memories of that career.

Weather and atmospheric conditions can do strange things to radio signals.

As far as being a police officer goes, I was good at the job, but I was very new to this area and had very, very little experience.

Strange Pursuit: Valley Police Department September 1990
Any law enforcement officer will tell you that ALL high speed vehicle pursuits are dangerous. In addition to being dangerous, this case got real strange.
