Some of you know me personally, some of you know me by my posts here on O.com Others don't care.
As of December 31, 2022 I will be fully retired from Law Enforcement. 2023 will be the first year since 1976 that I have not been in one type of Law Enforcement uniform or another type of Corrections uniform.
I have had a good run, done many neat things, had some sad moments and a few great ones, but all in all I have had a successful 46 year carrer
It breaks down as
29yrs 4 months working for the Iowa State Department of Corrections (Under 3 different departmental names) with most of that time working in a Maximum Security Male Penitentiary
5 yrs working as a Deputy Sheriff working in the Jail, Patrol, Paramedic Rescue, and Communications divisions for a good sized Sheriff's Office
11.5 yrs working as a Court Security , Transportation & general jack of all trades for a small Sheriff's Office
About half of the time I have either been a Supervisor or Administrative employee & the rest as a line staff grunt. I preferred the line staff work, but even when I resisted it seemed that I ended up directing the work of others.
I plan on sticking around the forums but my time working for a living is done
