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..

At last, I'm back

I haven't posted any opinions or articles this year. There has been a lot of things going on that I was asked to post about, however, because of my current employment and the possibility of my agency becoming involved in some way in these events I felt it was more appropriate that I not comment. So rather than only comment on a very limited number of subjects and create the perception that I either didn't care or had a limited interest I decided to delay making any post. Circumstances have got to the point that I once again have an opportunity to Blog and I'm looking forward to writing, and reading the feedback from others. I am also going to test doing video posts, this should allow me the opportunity to post my thoughts quicker than when I draft a post. To those that have asked me about when I plan on returning to my postings, thank you for the support. I appreciate the support, and your taking the time to read my writings.
