Hello everyone,
My name is Stephanie, and I'm currently a sophomore in college majoring in Psychology and Criminal Justice (my goal is to attend law school to eventually become a criminal prosecutor). I've been an online student for nearly two years (I was 17 when I started out), but I'm making the transfer on campus next year. It's states away--in Virginia--so the move will be a little terrifying!
I actually found this Site after doing a search regarding a paper for my criminal justice class, and the starting points for research that LEOs provided were very helpful. I look forward to speaking with the law enforcement officers, students, etc. on the forum!
Have a wonderful day and God bless,
Stephanie

Hello and welcome! If you are trying to eventually become a DA, and you are already considering the officer's point of view..I would say you have the potential to be a good one.
For me, before there was the Thin Blue Line, there was the Blood Stripe! Semper Fi!

**DISCLAIMER** I'm not a current LEO, but have six years experience with two city PD's in NC and TX as a sworn officer. I'm in the process of returning to LEO work ASAP.

Hi Adrenolize, and thank you! I actually have the privilege of interacting with police officers, COs, and other criminal justice personnel in my online classes, so their input has been extremely helpful. (And really, there's only so much one can learn from books.)

I prefer it not so sunny down here. I'm waiting for the chilly weather.

Stephanie,
Welcome to RP from the Florida Panhandle! Hope to have you around for a while!
When you do become a DA, will you make your career back here in FL, or try somewhere else?
(Oh, and just to let cntryboy0531 know, it's pretty chilly up here in Pensacola! Was in the low 40's last night! YIKES!)

There's not enough eye bleach to go around were I to post pictures of women in bikinis from my city. Believe me, you don't want to go there. (As for myself, I will politely decline!)

That, or Atlanta, GA since I used to live there and am somewhat familiar with the insane traffic and whatnot.
I've never been in Pensacola, but at one time I was thinking of attending a college there. Unfortunately, they did not offer the programs I was looking into.
Thanks again and hope to speak with you again,
Stephanie

Lol! Then I'll make a deal: You post a picture of you wearing a bikini, and I'll follow suit. Originally Posted by greg72982
