I don't think I'll be moving to Alma anytime soon. :o
Actually, it's not as they make it appear. Our PD has the support of the town council and the majority of the population. It's a small town with a decidedly different and tolerant viewpoint. They don't like overbearing police officers - and to be honest, neither do I. They know that we can and will be aggressive when we need to.Quote:

Is it wrong to grow dope in your home?Quote:

The article pointed out that Alma is the highest incorporated town in CO. Are they talking altitude or something else? ;)
Sometimes, I think both :D They actually sell T-shirts - "Get High In Alma" :) We do have the occasional case, but all in all, they are a very mellow bunch. They want low-key law enforcement, and that's fine with me. I really do care about the people I'm charged with protecting. First and foremost, I'm a PEACE officer. I keep the peace, and they know it. And hell, they love it that I have a full beard!!!Quote:

My philosophy as an LEO - as long as you behave yourself, you won't have a problem with me. But put me in a position where you want me to put my ethics or my POST certification on the line - my ethics and POST certification wins every time.
I agree with you on this. But you watch your step Mountainman er cop. Be safe.Quote:

As last weekend pointed out - things can go south VERY quickly!
Take care, bros!
stay safe
