About Me

My photo
I retired after completing 38 years as a law enforcement officer in the State of Florida. I began my law enforcement career with the City of Miami, where I served for nearly 27 years before serving with a state agency for 11 1/2 years (part of that time as Interim Inspector General). During my career with Miami I worked in uniform patrol, the detective bureau, and the 911 center. I was also a member of the first law enforcement crew to respond to New York City on September 11, 2001. From January 2007 to April 2011 I also served as a commissioner on the state commission that governs the certification of law enforcement, correctional and probation officers in the state. I am a Past President of the Florida State Lodge Fraternal Order of Police (President 2004-2006); I was an employee representative with Miami FOP Lodge #20 for almost 21 years (6 years serving at the Chief Steward). I have worked on legislative issues at all levels, worked on political screening committees. I’m a past member of the Dade County Republican Executive Committee, and have been an advisor/ law enforcement liaison for a presidential candidate..

Blog Updates

I want to thank those that have looked at this Blog and emailed me with their feedback and suggestions. They are appreciated, and I know they were given by friends that want to help me produce a product that others will want to read and be a part of.

One suggestion for another way that people can follow this was to sign up with Twitter. I looked at it and thought it was an idea worth exploring (http://twitter.com/JamesMannFLFOP).

The picture I originally had appeared "washed out". A friend of mine offered to touch it up for me, he did a great job and also gave me a black and white version.

My friend is JC Mendez, JC is a photographer and artist. I really like JC's work, especially is black and white photos. JC is on Facebook and Twitter, his web site is is http://www.digital-vfx.com and I would encourage you to check out his work.

Thanks again for the suggestions to help me make this something that you would want to follow.
