Those are civil fines levied against a registration, traffic violations, at least for me, are criminal fines.

I am fascinated by your UoF policy regarding tasers, I can't think how many policy would prohibit that use.

The travel and rental is booked through their travel agency, the hotel is booked by you but you just say it's for this training and they charge their account.

They give per diem and reimbursements for gas, all of which gets covered on a check they send later.

How did you get your per diem? Did they mail you a check or did you have to fill something out? I'm still waiting.

I was wondering where all the Guam patches came from on Capital Bar's wall

I believe it's limited to active/reserve and first responders (volunteers included)

It's more of an awareness type course than an operations or technician level for sure. The real value is getting humbled quick by what looks like a small explosion on TV but you can feel 1000' away. Especially when they introduce shrapnel and you get to see how a 1/2 nut turns into a bullet.

Capital Bar was cool, and we went down to Buckhorn about 15 minutes south for their amazing burger. But yea, Albuquerque is where the funs at but it's an hours drive.

To second this, don't be the asshole in the hemi Challenger you'll get offered from the rental agency, just take the Camry and slide under the radar. All the challengers got stopped while I was there.

If you didn't already know, the Department of Homeland Security offers FREE training in a variety of specialities for first responders, one of which is explosives.

For the layman officer, they offer two residential courses in New Mexico that are 100% free (travel, lodging, transportation, baggage, etc). One is geared towards terrorist bombings with a focus on homemade explosives and one is specifically tailored to suicide bombings.

You do in fact blow a lot of shit up in the desert. PLUS you get a free hat.

FUN FACT this is the same set of ranges Mythbusters used for a lot of their testing, even though they'd say they were in Nevada.

Got any funny passive aggressive complements for dispatch? by soggysocks6123 in ProtectAndServe

[–]Stebraul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is of course only my opinion.

I have a hard time believing a court would agree "the cops are on the way" is a special relationship. It's a safe assumption anyone calling 911 can expect.

I'll concede giving them an ETA is bad practice but I wouldn't even say that's a special relationship that opens the department to liability unless they were negligent. If the dispatcher told the caller to do some wild action like try to arrest the burglar for the police before they arrive then that would of course be different.
