what a travesty stop the world I want to get off ----------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

Run, but not in the correct direction. A little light reading suggests that the districts/schools that went the security officer route drew almost entirely from retired cops and former military, and had plenty of well-qualified from both applying. How this Mutant-American landed a job is an absolute mystery to me. | |||

According to their website: "Two-thirds of our district’s current security officers are current or former law enforcement officers and one-third are current or former military servicemembers." But 66% Law Enforcement and 33% Military doesn't mean 99% total LE/Mil. There's likely significant overlap between those two populations, considering the majority of LEOs are current/former military, and a decent chunk of military guys are/were some form of military police. So it'd be something more like ~75% total LE/Mil, which would still leave ~25% that are neither. Also, just because someone is "former LE/Mil" (or sometimes even "current LE/Mil") doesn't automatically mean they're not an idiot. There are plenty of morons with poor judgement and even worse money management skills that are former LE/Mil. (Might even be the reason why they're "former"...) | |||

Oh, agreed. There are co-workers (current and former) who I'd trust with the keys to my house, banking PINs, and power of attorney. Then there are co-workers (current and former) who I wouldn't trust with a $100 prepaid VISA. But the screening for one of these guys-- either set-- should be somewhat more streamlined and probably more reliable. "DennisM retired from your job last month. Here's a release... can I see his entire personnel and IA jackets after I'm done interviewing half a dozen guys who worked with him and have school-aged children?" | |||

This sparked a thought. Have ANY of our school shootings occurred in disadvantaged neighborhoods? I'm not including drive by and hand related issued... | |||

...and now here's Al with the Weather. |
As a former Air Force SP, he is not the last to try that. He also got emotionally damaged by the conversation. ___________________________________________________ But then of course I might be a 13 year old girl who reads alot of gun magazines, so feel free to disregard anything I post. | |||

What I am seeing out of current recruiting isn’t good. Seems to be a fair amount of young officers that I wish would try as hard to be the po-leece as they do at appearing to be the po-leece on their social media platforms. Most graduate the academy and think they are entitled to be assigned straight to SWAT or CSI. But their supervisor and peer reviews suck. | |||

Creating a significant emotional event in a young Airman (or young officer) is an art form that takes many years to perfect. CMSGT USAF (Retired) Chief of Police (Retired) | |||
