Well, effective April 1st, I am retired as a police officer. My last day they threw a surprise party, which I knew they were doing because they were all asking if I was coming back after lunch. Geez, don't make it too obvious. It was nice. As I was leaving I got on the radio and said, "174 (my id number) to all units, be advised I am over the wall, 10-42 (out of service)" and everyone said their good byes. The dispatcher and secretaries were crying. I am so sad to leave, but on the other hand staying would jeopardize my life as well as anyone I work with. I am in the process of going through interviews with Progressive Insurance as a claims adjuster. Its a decent pay and is still has some investigatition involved. I am starting a new chapter in my life, but I guess law enforcement wasn't in my cards. The only bad thing I can't look around is that I am going to be a newbie wherever I go so I lose priority on leave time and such. Thanks for being here for me during this last heck of a year. Its great friends like you that made times more bearable.
