The Newspaper Article

Let me start off by saying, I know I’m a day late and a dollar short in blogging. I’ve been busy. I mean, like I look up and it’s bedtime, or way past it and I still have so much to do before I stop for the night. It’s been that way for over aContinue reading “The Newspaper Article”

I know, I know

I’m behind on my blog posts. The past week got super busy and I’ve had a lot of interest in being interviewed for several projects, the radio show is being spruced up, the podcast is nearly booked solid with future guests lined up in the wings, and life has just been…cray cray! I love it!Continue reading “I know, I know”

Bartlett PD Citizen’s Police Academy Week 5

Week 5 was our introduction into fight club. We had just 1 rule: We don’t talk about fight club. Pysch!!!! In all seriousness, it was all about Defensive Tactics with a dash of drones thrown in for good measure. I’ve gotta be honest, it proved to be a much more difficult subject to summarize forContinue reading “Bartlett PD Citizen’s Police Academy Week 5”
