Not even secretly.

Last serving head of state to have served in uniform during WWII....

That's where most of mine have originated. In Colorado everybody, even the Leftists, own guns... and almost everybody drinks.

Possessing a firearm while intoxicated is a crime, and I've had more than a few of those....

I just had one yesterday: argument over dog poo escalated into one neighbor confronting others with his legally owned AR.

...that said, I agree it's rare....

Doctor-patient privilege would apply. Unless the patient was an imminent threat to themselves or others, and a few other very limited mandatory reporting circumstances, everything would be confidential, and the patient would get a big payday. Even if the patient was a threat, the IAB investigator...

It depends on who is paying the psychologist.

You’re a liar and a drug dealer both.

You might eventually get hired somewhere, but nowhere anybody would want to work.



You sold drugs. That’s the definition of “drug dealer”....

You can be a school district officer straight out of the academy. NASRO recommends at least 5 years patrol experience before an officer is selected for SRO and most states require a 40 hour course. Many departments require a bachelor degree so that the officer is on-par educationally with the school...

At least when I was an SRO I didn’t get involved in non-criminal disciplinary matters. The last thing you need is an SRO getting drawn into a confrontation with a student where no law was broken. Plenty of videos of that on YouTube already...

You MIGHT be talking about a school district police department, which are not SROs.... or a school district security or safety officer, which also are not SROs.

A “School Resource Officer” is defined as: The school resource officer (SRO) is a carefully selected, specifically trained, and...

[tanksoldier]

No, you're not correct....

Colorado allows disarming for the duration of the contact, but I've never done so.

I agree with the legality of running the serial number. If you stop a pickup with a weedwacker in the back, do you run it to see if its stolen?

[tanksoldier]

This is Colorado. I run into armed people constantly.

Some tell me, some don’t, sometimes the CHL comes up when I run them, sometimes it doesn’t.

We assume everyone is armed anyway, why would you treat a CHL holder any different than anyone else?

I know cops...

My viewpoint tends to be Army-centric. The other services are options and may do things slightly differently. To be honest, I’d probably still suggest the enlisted route but with the Air Force these days. Same training, same clearance, mostly the same work, better living conditions.

Last...

Ironically, Denver Public Schools voted to remove SROs from campus…. but still have a district police department.

You can do ROTC as a graduate student. Do your MS3 year your senior year, then your MS4 year during one year of grad school. However, the Army pays almost no attention to your degree when performing branch selection. I’ve seen cadets with English degrees branched Engineers, who wanted Intelligence,...

If it isn’t worth revealing when you’re employed, it isn’t worth revealing when you retire.

Was working in Control one night, had an inmate's baby momma call and say she got an email from him.

Turns out somebody snuck a cellphone AND charger thru a strip search. Eww....

[tanksoldier]

False. Few employers who require a degree care what the degree is in. I worked as a DBA with a CJ degree.

As noted above, a CJ degree is really no different than any other non-hard science degree: political science, sociology, etc.

That said, I agree taking classes just to...

[tanksoldier]

Several times. As long as they don't make you be on-site and don't restrict your activity or discipline you for failing to respond. The way they get you is by decreeing that once the call is made you're on duty.

Both of those companies have LE specific portals with all the forms and templates you need....
