Yessir!


Which as we know is JUST like being a Detroit cop.


Oh no, quite far from it. It would be much more difficult to ply the LE trade with my ideals if I were a street cop working a bad area. That said, I wouldn't do the job if I couldn't do it with my value system intact.


You were a civilian not a blue suit, correct?


I did 20 years as an active duty CG member assigned primarily to stations where the missions were LE and SAR. I also did a tour as a member of a tactical counter narcotics team. My stint as a reserve deputy was limited. Katrina happened and my life changed. I guess I did it for about a year and a half. I still work for the CG, but in a civilian non-LE capacity.
