Hi

PROPERTY MARKING Marking your property is one of the most simple and effective ways of protecting your possessions. Personally I prefer your drivers license number. Be sure to identify the number you use as to province, state, school or other traceable record. * For a start, property marking puts burglars off because it let's others know that the item has been stolen, making it much more difficult to sell. The other big advantage is that it makes tracing and returning your stolen property a lot easier for police. *There are two main types of property marking: the first is known as permanent marking, when you engrave or "punch" your property with your street number and postcode. Inexpensive permanent marketing kits can be bought from most DIY stores. * Make sure you engrave with a fine drill or sharp-pointed tool, and use a template or stencil to keep it neat and tidy. Punching is a form of permanent marking that is done with a hammer and a set of punches bearing numbers...

Bryan : I was thinking about you last night Bryan!! I was thinking about Brandy and your little man, your nephew Conner ( Who's getting OLD now Bry-- the big 16!! ), all of your family who I've come to know and love also through FB, and all of your co-workers at the PD. And hey Bro..you made me shed a few tears again..so what does an old cop do in that case?? He put's pen to paper so my thoughts will never be lost. This is for you Bryan...I miss you..and I'm not ashamed to say I love you too, I'm a bit of a softy under this gruff old cop exterior, but you know what I mean cop to cop when we say we love each other. And Bryan, if any of your co-workers or family ever need to talk..I'M HERE FOR THEM! Rest peacefully my Brother, one of America's heroes!! A COP CRIED LAST NIGHT Yes, a cop cried last night, And that Officer was ME! I cried over the loss of your life, your smile, your laughter, your humour and wit. I cried for the fact that we'd never be able t...

Have You Ever Danced? An old prospector shuffled into town leading an old tired mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon to clear his parched throat. He walked up and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, have you ever danced?" The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance... never really wanted to." A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now," and started shooting at the old man's feet. The old prospector --not wanting to get a toe blown off-- started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied. When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, ...

WHAT IS POLICE WEEK???? A civilian friend asked me this simple question and like I explained it is a lot of things to different people, but to me it is the following: It is a time of rememberance, reflection, and the celebration of the lives of the many Law Enforcement Officers who gave all in the line of duty, doing what they loved best, protecting and serving the communities that they worked for and whose lives were taken suddenly, sometimes by the act of a coward, sometimes by a motor veichle accident, and sometimes by helping to save the life of a fellow human being, where the outcome was not the outcome that they had intended. It is a time of the year when every LEO has the chance to get together with one another, to renew old friendships and to make new ones. It is a time of year that when remembering the fallen it is okay to shed a tear or two and to know that your fellow officers feel the same way, and can come up to you and put their arm around your shoulder and say, " ...

My country has lost 2 more fine young police officers in the line of duty this past week and it tears me up inside. The USA has also lost fine Officers in the past week also, and a part of my soul goes along with a part of my spirit everytime I see another LODD notice come into my e mail inbox. On occassion an LODD is unavoidable such as MVA's when an Officer is hit from behind while on a traffic call and his/her cruiser is pushed forward and into them. I say unavoidable but that's not true, sure they can be avoided but an Officer's mind can only process so much information at one time, and the Lord has not provided the human race with eyes that circle our heads. Even the loss of a moment's concentration can lead to a tragedy , a needless loss of an LE life. In the latest case where a 15 year veteran Constable of the Ontario Provincial Police was laid to rest Friday, happened by the most heinous of circumstances, a traffic stop, and an ambush. Cst. Vu Phan of the O...

A police officer is driving by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The police officer jumps from his patrol car, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful hit from his baton. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the police officer brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has seen the whole scene, and addressing the officer, says, ' Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a police officer do in my whole life. ' 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as my duties require. ' 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's papers will have this on the front pag...

I is just saddening to hear of the Olympic games getting over shadowed by the the actions of some " BAD" cops and Canadian Forces personel who were top be the shining stars to this world wide event and a symbol of national pride for Canada. I was totally sickened to hear that an RCMP S/SGT. with 19 years of service on the force has been booted from the security detail and charged with theft under $5000. Yes. you read that right, S/SGT. Suzanne Denise Marie Martel, a 19 year veteran of my beloved force has brought disgrace and shame not only on herself, but to the RCMP, and to Canada in general at a time when we were to be ambassador's to the world, the Olympic's that were 10 years in the planning, preperation, and staging. The games that united the country with the torch relay....brought down a few notches because of a members unethical actions. She was not alone though..other LEO's have been sent home from various department's, and 4 Canadian Forces sol...
