I’ve been exchanging posts with a couple of members about participation on the boards, and I also see a lot of Law Enforcement officers (LEO’s y’all call them) partaking in the forums. I am a little enticed as to whom I share common interests with here, who is in what type of LEO position and if anyone is in the Southern California area. I find it nice to see may fellow LEO’s who share my views on 2nd amendment and civilian concealed carry. I have read some posts, which make me, wonder about the information some may have received specifically as to how other LEO’s especially at a federal level feel about civilian concealed carry.
One of your senior members, Shin-Tao had mentioned to me that you have many federal officers here, but they choose to remain silent most of the time. I wish this were not the case, I feel we need to get the word out that were not all part of “Reno’s Raiders”. That most of us understand and believe in the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms.
And I am interested in my fellow state and local officers who do the genuine work on a day to day basis, what’s it like? Good duty/Bad duty, up sides and down. It’s something I’ve never had to do, is actually police a community. Such as working auto accidents, breaking up the same domestic dispute for the third time in the same night, dealing with common crooks, etc… See when we see a drunk or a fight or the like we call LAPD or LACSO or other local authority. Rarely do we get involved.
I would like to offer the opportunity to all to feel free to openly discuss anything concerning law enforcement on the local, state and federal level. Remember we work for you.
So to begin with I’ll start,
I work for the United States Marshals Service, Central District of California, Los Angles. I have been with the Service for 5 years; I am attached to the Federal Fugitive Investigations Unit. We specialize, as the name implies in the investigation and apprehension of federal fugitives and we also assist the local authorities with fugitive apprehension as well. I also work with the high-risk warrant interdiction/service unit for the Southwest United States; we are a specialized unit employed to serve high-risk felony warrants and criminal apprehension. As the name implies the work is very dynamic and fast paced, the closest thing to the movie… (Sorry, had to toss that in). We see all kinds of action from routine warrant service to actual physical pursuits both on foot and in vehicles.
If anyone is interested in a job, we start testing in the spring of 2001! (Random, self-seeking recruiting plug.)
I didn't join The Fireing Line just to sit idle and quiet, I joined to talk about related stuff.
So don't expect me to take the path the others have.
