One week down.....

[Remo]

Just finished my 1st week of law enforcement training in Florida, passed my first aid and defensive tactics tests, next week is firearms and emergency vehicle operations and then the state exams. I have quite a few cool cops in my class from all over the east coast, I think I’m from the furthest west. I have been on a couple of ride alongs with Tampa PD (awesome place) and riding with Clearwater on Monday to see where I want to apply.

A few cigar smokers in my class which is cool, wish me good luck this week :tu

Mike, also take the pensions into account. Florida retirement system is one of the best in the country. That's usually the county sheriff's offices.

[RevSmoke]

Will keep you in my prayers, my friend.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Quick update, before I left Florida I spoke with a recruiter from Clearwater PD and went on a ride along, that is my kind of city and I really like it there. The recruiter looked at my resumè and stated “based on your paper we will hire you July 23rd” so I started my background with them and I have an interview on the 30th, take my polygraph and have a background interview, if all goes well I should know if I have a job there around the 1st of June. Going fast now.

[Steve]

Sweet!

[CigarNut]

Very cool, Mike!

[dijit]

Well there is one more reason to go to the Condo next year! Glad to hear its playing out in a good way for you Mike
