My wife is a Blogger and thinks it will be fun for me. So, where to start........<br /><br />Lets start by laying some foundation. I am a Police Officer in a small to mid-sized Police Department in Central Ohio. I have been with this Department since 1996 when I started as a part time Officer. In 1998 I obtained a full-time commission. Since then my career has been pretty eventful. I have been exposed to numerous situations during my nearly 10 years on as a "regular" Officer. I have been directly involved in three Police involved shootings, one of which resulted in me shooting a suspect. Another shooting incident, unfortunately involved the loss of a fellow Officer. I have seen death and all of the blood and gore goes with the job.<br /><br />Other things have ranged from dealing with crazy people to dealing with stupid people (this includes co-workers). I have seen the good and bad of the job. There have been many sad times, many happy times, many funny times, and many times where I just don't know what to think.<br /><br />I am hoping that by sharing my future experiences I can "vent". I also hope others will share their stories with me. And, finally I hope this blog will help others understand that Police Officers are people too. We are normal people doing an abnormal job. We do many things others won't do.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3968356271117538891-60947498499711612?l=uslawman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ohio Police Officerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02766810083557817612noreply@blogger.com2
