ABSOLUTELY CHILDISH!!!!


Okay I usually don't spout off in my blog,( well not too often) but this has to be unreal. My partner of 11 years and best friend, dive partner, Sizzles is bloody jealous of the newbie George. He knows I'm an FTO, I have to teach the new kid on the block all the tricks of the trade to keep his ass from becoming road kill, and he's jealous that I'm spending 8 1/2 of my 9 (scheduled) working hours with him and he feels that I am ignoring his needs. Ever hear anything so stupid?? I mean we socialize together, his kids are like my own, I taught his wife how to cook so she didn't poison him in the first 4 years of their marriage, and now he's JEALOUS of George!! Oh LORD why me???
On our day off this past Sunday Sizz and I entered the Winnipeg Police Service's 1/2 Marathon for Cancer research. I figured this would give us some quality time together, give him his fill of ME so he doesn't go off the deep end, and bond more, (like we need it after all these years!). The whole 13 kms of the course was taken up by his complaining, trying to make me feel bad about not spending more time with him, you know ROOKIE crap as I call it. I had planned on crossing the finish line with him at the exact same time so we'd be true PARTNERS in the race but at the last 20 feet I sped up and bested him by 5 secs., my time 2:32:05 and Sizzle's 2:32:10, I only did that because of his whining. Was I wrong to do it?? Maybe, or was it the competitive spirit coming out in me?? Who knows. But I did show him that a cop 10 years his senior ( in age also) can still beat the young-un.

Here's a picture of "fresh meat" George. Now you tell ME if this kid doesn't need extra attention to keep his ass in one piece. I have progressed to the point where I WILL allow him to sign out an X-26 now, but I still do stand behind him when he has his hand on the holster. I mean even I can only take 49.7 K volts only so often, and I think getting zapped by it in class was enough. I appreciate seeing the funky chicken as much as the next cop, only not when I'm doing it.
Hope to hear back with some suggestions on my Sizzles predicament. Hell I'd hate to transfer to Nunavut to get away from his moaning and complaining. I'm too damn old for that crap!!! LOL!!!

Image
Just a quick note to wish all of my friends in the USA a very happy and safe July 4th!!! If you're "on the job" today in LEO LAND be extremely safe, the sound of a firecracker can sound a lot like a gun, and if you're off work today, take time to sit back, relax, and spend time with your loved ones. To my "agricultural" friends in Montana, yes, you know who you are!!! Sit back with a few cold ones, spend time with the " little farmer's", enjoy the day!! The fields can wait until tomorrow, and there is enough grass that the cattle can graze on their own today!!! HAVE FUN EVERYONE AND HAPPY FOURTH FROM THE NORTH!!!!!

UNDERWATER EVIDENCE COLLECTING

EVIDENCE COLLECTION AND YOU--the Public Safety Diver ( PSD) All agencies and PSD teams have their own SOP's and SOG's and I am in no way telling you to deter from the methods outlined in yours, what I'll attemp to do in this brief is to give you all a few hints/pointers that you may already use, or may want to fit into your operating practices. Lets face it, an big wide open body of water is an invitation for the bad guy to ditch and try to evade the finding of things that will put him away. It is OUR job to recover this evidence to the best of our abilities and our teams abilities. The criminal has the mindset of , " if it sinks to the bottom nobody will ever see it again." WRONG, this is where we come in. Even though the evidence is UW it does not negate the need to apply the same crime scene techniques as used above on dry land. Our main goals as PSD's is to collect enough evidence to procure a conviction in court against the accused. And like evidence...

It's Wednesday and time for a joke!!!!

Question: How do you tell the difference between a Canadian Police Officer, an Australian Police Officer, and an American Police Officer? Pose the following question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do? CANADIAN POLICE OFFICERS Answer: (Immediate thought processes) Is the knife a ceremonial kirpan? Does he prefer to communicate in English or French? Will this negatively impact my chances of promotion? Is this just his way of telling me that he pays my wages, and wants my job? Would this be an appropriate time to hug him and sing Koombaya? Will the media do a profile of him and how he was loved by everyone including his dog? Is the alleged "client" a...
