Crismon, nope. But my Tahoe has a ranchand style brush guard/bumper. I did however use a revolver in the academy.

I was well on my way to Eddyville in the 3rd grade.
Fortunately, Mrs Flowers beat me half to death with her socko paddle for pushin' Jessica Clements in the crawdad hole and ended my life of crime.

About 6 months for me. Did you ever drive a police car with a metal bumper? No. Did you ever have to use a call box? (my Chief would have had me ask you that) I have spent my entire career in the "current" Crown Vic. Oh, yeah, 9 years until I have my age and only a CH over 6 until I have my time. I doubt I'll go when I'm eligible 'cause I still enjoy what I do regardless of the azzholes! George Brother they don't mount call boxes on hickory trees....I have worked three counties by myself though.

Texas DPS Troopers or Highway Patrolmen treat you better here in TX when they find out you have a CHL Permit. I've yet to get a speeding ticket in the 17 years since I got my CHL. Once they see my permit, it's usually "you need to slow down a little" Mirrors my own experience,... to a T. GTC

My first car was the last of the caprice classics.

I still carry a 2 inch Taurus off duty quite a bit. Our duty guns are Glock 37 45 gaps.

My first car was a 1991 Ford Crown Victoria. I did drive one of those 1991 Caprices for awhile though.

We have G39 as back ups but we can qualify and carry personal weapons should we choose to.

Dammit. Nah, I got started in 1995 with the State Police. I worked part time with my local Sheriff's office starting in 1993, then did a short stint at my hometown PD before getting on with the KSP.

The way the officer handled the interaction with Blackfrog was wrong. Entirely. Your statement was funny. Made me think of the old Pot/Kettle thing. You're an ass hole but that goes without saying. Did I mention that all cops (government minoins)are ass holes. It's spelled minion, you idiot. Nope in his case it's spelled MORON!!!!!!

I sort of like this Tahoe, especially cab room. And it will out run the explorers we had.
