Sorry, but my computer was tampered with and no posts on anything were made by me recently.

Sorry, my computer was hijacked. Original comment was not made by me and I haven't posted on here in ages either.

Former Colonel Grimming was one of the best things to happen to FHP, but unfortunately his plans to be in touch with reality and actually respect troopers, did not go over well with the "good 'ole...

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Trooper Ambroise. There are many negative things to be said about the FHP and how it has changed over the years. One thing that is positive and will...

If you can't read news clips and see that EVERY agency has problems right now, that's your own fault. If you want to argue on this topic and point out fault with other agencies, other than you own,...

I am a Trooper and I hate to say it, but your last statement is incorrect. I watch the news and see more fat Troopers than other departments. It's a shame.

And to answer your first question-I do...

You mean these?

Apparently since you started this conversation, you must know something. Please unwrap the "green thong" from around your throat and tell us something. If not, consider yourself just another shit...

If your kid brother wants to be a trooper tell him to apply. He will have luck of the draw on being hired. It could be one of those years like in the 80's when Tom Gorman did a great job for many...

I commend the FHP for doing the best job they could on this situation with the obstacles they had to deal with a.k.a. a "celebrity".

Don't blame the FHP for the situation Tiger Woods created. A...

Good point, but if you have nothing to hide there is no reason to refuse to speak with FHP. It makes no sense for Tiger Woods not to go ahead and speak up instead of letting the rumor mill of the...

I already answered you on the "reported post" topic. I can definitely see why you would be banned and it would be justified.

Welcome to the REAL world of making a total ASS out of yourself. I would highly suggest that you take your own challenge to task, you moron!! You are so ignorant that it is way tooooo obvious that...

Long, long time ago FHP had "weight standards" so strictly enforced that TROOPERS were fired who were GOOD troopers getting the job done. Get off your ignorance and get with the program today! You...

There are only two reasons to me that people run from the law. You are either scared stupid or you have violated the law and know it. Neither of these two excuses are acceptable. I think this...

What a horrible tragedy for everyone involved and my heart feels for both of these families. People enforcing the law are first of all human and capable of mistakes, just like everyone else from any...

Sounds like "very pleased" is a person who thinks they are "in the know" about FHP? LOL

Unless you can provide facts with details your post is totally useless, not to mention you make yourself...

Your comments were VERY well stated! The term "cop" indeed covers many responsibilites of various types and agencies. If you don't understand that law-enforcement is a career that the chances are...

WOW..too bad to read postings trying to compare two TOTALLY different agencies, as far as job duties and responsibilities. You both belong on a show like Jerry Springer to beat each other down in a...

I so agree with alot of your statements!! The bigger question should be why in the world would ANYONE approve a person for rehire that was a questionable employee when they quit, to even have to ASK...

Officer Petrillo,
It takes special people and alot of work to host these type of events. I commend you for your efforts. My deepest sympathy to Cpl. Roberts family and friends.

Trooper Bunkley,

It's always good news when I hear a trooper makes it out of a situation alive. Thanks for all that you do, as you ARE appreciated!

Guest 904,

I'm not sure if this is the friend you are looking for, but I found this information:

Winston E. Burnett
2266 India Bv.
Deltona, FL
386.575.2827

Good Luck!

I'm sorry for your loss, but wish you and your family well in finding the closure you need. You got some great advice from those posting before me.

I doubt there are any of us who have not said something stupid before and later offered an apology to those we offended. Obama is also a person who will never be fault free, as that is simply an...

This is the type of situation that NO trooper should be involved in without the necessary equipment to lay that person out on his rear end! Maybe it's time to ask some of the Florida legislators if...

It's not being able to pass a polygraph, but the intelligence level to determine the difference from fact and BS posted on this board that will get you hired with FHP.

I'm not following the warped sense of humor on this post. Regardless of what the press posts, you have to acknowledge that the death of one of the most artistic and creative individuals you will see...

If you did not receive this information from EB or CZ, please allow me to inform them how to show appreciation for troopers making crappy pay for a job well done.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL...

GHQ should be ashamed of themselves for this stupid ad, knowing the person who "thunk" this idea up is more than likely making more than the troopers on the road.

You are one dumb son of a *****.

The hat is a joke, to discipline troopers over it is down right stupid.

That hat is not going to get you a pay raise.

We just took a 2% pay cut and you...

If you all would stop *****ing for a moment I want to say this..learn that policy and procedure is part of this job, just like any other career you choose. The hat on ALL of you makes a very...

Mod 1,
You did a good job on this one! Thanks for all the work you do on here to keep things from going out of control.
