    Well, isn't working there and being there for the exercise 2 different things? Were someone in a position to help answer some of your questions, they may be more receptive to you if you weren't so vague. Some things, such as what you are EXACTLY wanting to know, WHOM you are hoping to speak with, and WHY you want to know it, are often very useful.

    Ok, smarta$$, was that so complicated. Keep in mind that you are still a wannabe and no one wants a wannbe with a piss-poor attitude. The English language is not THAT difficult and surely you can see the difference in speaking with someone who was there and speaking with a CO who was there.

    FWIW, I don't think we have any COs from Joliet. Unless it is specific to the drill, you may have better luck addressing COs in general (outside the IL forum).

    I guess it was a nice try but the chances of someone here working at a lockup in one town are rather slim. Have you considered asking through your connections that got you involved in the drill to begin with ??

    It's the whole title of ask-a-cop, it's so misleading. I came to this site too and was surprised that everytime I ask a question, some cop comes on here and answers it for some reason. I didn't even know the forum was law enforcement related. :eek:

    There are two sides to every story. But for anyone knows maybe I as an outside CO was dropping some one off during, before or after the drill. so maybe I was there, but not part of, then again maybe not. Idiots are abundant in the justice system, as I tell some I may have to eat some ****, but I'm not about to eat a whole pile, so I just do my best and recommend to others to do the same. RELAX.

    You oh so want to be a cop, then you make a statement about hating to ask cops questions. Contradictory you think? "I want to be a fireman, but I hate fire." :rolleyes:

    If you want to have an attitude, at least have some maturity or life experience with which to back up your asinine statements.

    Until then, teen explorers are best seen and not heard.
