Congratulations on a well deserved retirement Peeps. I don't know how police officers do it in today's society. I'm sure it has taken a toll on you. Best wishes in your future endeavors!

When I got hired in 98 there were 3 openings and 600 applicants. Now we run constant hiring processes and get maybe 30 applicants.

Sadly thats the way it is for law enforcement positions in general. Most people realize how much stuff you LEOs deal with on a daily basis anymore and really don't want to have to. My brother has been a city cop for probably close to 10 years now, the stories he tells are concerning to say the least.

Tough Duty right there. Hopefully you got out before Krasner installed the revolving door.

I believe that. Sad times. We need to support the badge and what it stands for. Not sure it was real, but I saw a nasty video from Chicago the other day of a shootout. Not good if this is happening in our bigger cities daily.

Congrats man! "Retired" is the one position that all law enforcement officers aspire to!
