View Full Version : Greetings from Tidewater, VA

Hello, RP family,

I'm from the Tidewater area of Virginia. (I know, they call it Hampton Roads now, but I still call it Tidewater sometimes!). I technically live in Portsmouth, VA

I've been visiting these forums for a while, trying to get an idea of how LE works and how the general public views it. I consider myself pro-LE, but I must say that I am still quite ignorant about certain things. I will admit up-front that a lot of my perception of law enforcement officers has been shaped by the media. I want to change that by being here.

So I joined as a way of showing my appreciation for all the hard work that you all put in every single day, and the ways that you put your lives on the line for the rest of us.

Stay safe out there!

Heck, P-town is a rough area, you be careful too! As bad or worse than Norfolk and Newport Badnews in terms of violent crimes.

Welcome aboard.

Hello Kimble,

Thank you for welcoming me.

At this point, I don't yet have full access to edit my profile. So I'll go ahead and say that I'm not a sworn police officer.

Just so that there's no misunderstanding.

Thanks!

Kimble wasn't saying that to you in his welcome post, that is part of his signature line, kind of like mine has a quote from Ronald Reagan and the EOW for an old friend of mine.

Hello marinepilot,

I didn't notice his sig line when I replied. I just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page. :)
