Load bearing vests, body cameras, 9 mm Glock, female deputies, keeping your temper in check, no DUIs, are all here or coming soon regardless what some POS corrupt sheriff or his geriatric double-dipping chiefs think. Everything you do will soon be on video and you will be accountable for your actions to the sheriff and to the public. Those who cannot adapt to today's reality should retire or they will end up fired if they try to re-live ancient history. You should retire and go hang out at the FOP parties, suck down a few drinks and swap embelished war stories about how much ass you kicked with your former co-workers who are on Social Security.
