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..

I'll be Back

It has been a while since I've written, no I didn't change my mind about writing articles. As some know I've been dealing with a situation the past month, and to be honest at the end of the night (when I usually do my writing), or when I would take a lunch break at work, I didn't want to see a keyboard or the journal that I use to write ideas for the blog (to paraphrase a famous quote, Yes Virginia there are really people that write longhand).

I am currently drafting two posts, one regarding peace officers memorial and another on comments that President Obama has made regarding college education.

Thanks for your patience, and if you have any ideas or comments let me know.
