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 have got a lot of positive feedback from people, including those that have read printed copies of the posts. I really appreciate the feedback, and ideas.

I decided to try some of the suggestions and felt that it was time to try and expand a bit. I have modified the blog to allow comments from anybody, including anonymous comments. Because of that I added a comment moderation as well, not to censor differing points of view (those will be published as well), just to keep profane comments out. As vast as the English language is if you can not express your thoughts without being profane or offensive without putting your name to what you say you shouldn't be posting comments. At least not on a Blog where it will also be a reflection of me.

I have also invited others to write posts if they choose. These are people who's opinions I respect, and people that I enjoy having conversations with because of their perspectives.

I may from time to time add a poll question, and would appreciate any suggestions.
