Small town police chief wants to make more than NYC police Comm.

Oh, and we had one of these.... I wonder how many people know what it is?



VP is the initials of the police officer than carried it before me. He was killed by a shotgun blast to the stomach entering a house on a DV call just before I was hired. It was reissued to me.

What's ironic to me is (my pension is public record), I make a touch over $65K a year being retired. When I started, I made even less than Greg, $3.65 an hour.

Well I recently got a second job where I make $11.00 an hour so I'm moving up in the world.

Isn't that a blackjack?

Yeah, we called them saps... The big end is full of powdered lead and it's flexible. They made them illegal for us to carry about 4 years after I came on. In fact, they still call the narrow pocket on our uniform leg "sap pockets".
