Reference my friend from N-Ireland, I am very familiar with the troubles.
I left Liverpool in 1965, age 30.
A great friend of mine, Des. was in Security in Toronto, worked were I lived.
He spent 15 years in Royal Marines, 7 in the RUC. Then one day said enough, off to Canada.
I have lived in Florida for over ten years, not been stopped much, the one that fits in here... I was working undercover, possible an Ex employee would return, and target the administrator (Medical Facility) We did 30 days inside, and thirty outside, parked in various locations.
Checked in every AM with OPD Dispatch. Our Company, vehicle, we are in, armed, etc. A couple of times the message was not passed on!
Heading home, lights behind, Blue and Red, I pulled to right, both windows open, engine off, keys on dash, hands at ten to 4, my partner, hands on knees.
"Good evening Officer" Her, big smile (Gorgeous lady) "You have been stopped B/4?" "I used to teach Vehicle stops ma'am"
Then explained, the job, our Company.
"Stay Safe", from me, from her, off we went.
Reference the type of Police Officer we hire? Educated, from good homes, PC savvy, a lot with degrees, no criminal convictions, ETC.
I just described a non hard case! On average, never been in a fight as an adult! Perceived trouble, gun out! Close with subject? Last thing on their minds.
