This written torrent of randomness took me a ridiculous number of hours to try and arrange into any sort of coherence and even
now after innumerable revisions and edits, it would certainly cause my former English teachers to cringe and shake their heads
and maybe weep a bit at the innumerable typos, and deviant sentence structures. But nobody is paying me to do this, and you’re
not out any money buying this, so you get what you pay for and this will be a non-refundable reading experience. Presented to
you free from commercial interruption, even.

Most of my career I was a just regular old patrol officer, but over the years I did have a few collateral duties and specialty
assignments that gave me the opportunity to take on other challenges. I was a DARE Instructor for 5 years, and then a School
Resource Officer for 5 years. Concurrently I was a Crime Prevention Officer for almost 10 years during which time I started up
and managed the Poulsbo Police Department’s Citizen Volunteer Program. I was also a Field Training Officer for new officers,
a Reserve Officer Program Coordinator for the volunteer officers, and a Narcotic Detection K9 Handler. I was in charge of the
property and evidence room for a couple of years, I did occasional court bailiff duty, I did bicycle patrol, boat patrol, and I drove
a wide variety of police vehicles. In my 27 years of wearing a uniform and a badge and a gun belt, I worked for three mayors and
six different police chiefs and I saw a lot of coworkers come and go in a wide variety of means and circumstances.

During my career as a professional problem-solver and uniformed crime fighter I met thousands and thousands of interesting
people doing a lot of interesting things. I met a lot of stupid people who had done really stupid things and I met a lot of very
smart people who had also done.. really.. stupid things.
