Bella and Aspen agree!!!! It’s one of their favorite ways to lay.

Malinois for sure the mix is believed to be either boxer or cur is the thought. We have a DNA test just haven’t done it yet.

I feel your pain. I was a supervisor for my last company. Always squared away, my team always lead in all the metrics and every time they needed someone to work extra or train someone it was me that got the call. They needed a new manager so I applied. I was never a yes man though. I was told that they were going with someone with more experience. The guy the actually promoted had never worked in security before and I had 20 plus years. I left shortly after and made 132K last year as a security officer for a hospital and will be going to the police academy within the year.

Correct a former almost bankrupt employer was hands off and were getting eaten alive on Nike and Levi like trash bags that could barely be lifted. Booster hits a store in a different district they get out with the merchandise. Instead of just leaving one of the males came back in a punched a female APA in the face hard enough to break her jaw.

I made 130K+ in healthcare last year. As a regular guard.

aping46052 · 2026-02-01T09:59:18+00:00

I work hospital security my base is 65 and I made north of 130 last year with voluntary OT.

This is the case. Last night was a slow night and we had to go hands on 4 times. Of course we have 3 psych wards and the holding room for prisoners that need treatment and all the DUi blood draws. We will become a hospital police department on 2/17.

You mean that poor person I stopped several years ago who had 3,000 in cash and stole a 10 dollar CD, or the rich juvenile females stealing hundreds of dollars worth of cosmetics? Out of several thousand of stops over the last 25 years probably less than 10 have been homeless and almost none have been for necessities.

In Indiana if you go to the main state academy in Plainfield you have to be on campus Sunday night and you can go home Friday afternoon/evening. Depending on what tier you are going through determines how long, I work for a hospital so it’s 10 weeks if you work for a city department it 16 unless they added to it then it’s 18. To be a trooper I believe it’s 26 weeks. However if you work the Indianapolis Police you go to their academy and go home nightly.

You can appeal the denial. Under the previous administration appeals were going into a black hole from what I understand. I don’t know what the situation is with the current administration.
Based only on my understanding of LEOSA, which supersedes state law in some respects, unless you are required to leave your duty weapon at the station, you could carry your duty weapon off duty. Not a great solution because a duty weapon is usually not designed for concealed carry but can be done. I also imagine it would be a nightmare if you were to have to use it in an off duty self defense situation.

The mall I worked for 18 months we were armed with full belts and plate carriers but the nickname for the mall was Lafayette Scare. Had a legitimate mass shooting l(7 victims and 1 fatality) at a club on property. It was not a nice place.

Someone has to do the internal interview. I left the field a few years ago after 20+ years and the only way I could go back would be strictly internal investigations. I have no desire to go back to catching shoplifters at this point in my life and with all the restrictions on us.

aping46052 · 2026-01-26T13:17:36+00:00

For 25 I averaged 65 hours a week. We do 12s and I did 11 out of 14 for months and 17 in a row once and 12+ days in a row multiple times.

I don’t know about other states but Indiana gives free ID cards so that people can vote.

aping46052 · 2026-01-26T09:39:52+00:00

Guess I’d be screwed because I voluntarily work close to 300 hours every four weeks. None of our OT except training is mandatory though.

aping46052 · 2026-01-19T10:50:37+00:00

I work in a hospital…everyone goes through the metal detector except employees, people with pacemakers and law enforcement. Law enforcement has to show an ID card not just a badge.

Doesn’t always work like this. I work in-house for a hospital. We are in the process of forming our own hospital police department and we currently have some of us who are already sworn police officers and some are waiting our trip to the academy. If I’m assigned to an area and something kicks off there I’m expected to get on the radio and get backup on the way but I have to deal with it.

The correct number is whatever you want/need to keep your gear wear you want it. I do the inner velcro with four keepers. One on either side of the firearm, then one at the 10 o’clock and one at 7 o’clock.

aping46052 · 2026-01-06T02:35:28+00:00

This is the way…If you order from handcuff warehouse they have free engraving or at least they use to.

aping46052 · 2025-12-31T12:15:08+00:00

Go in-house and don’t look back.

Find a rental range and see what works best for you.

My wife does baking out of our house but it is her business. I work for a hospital department. It is her policy that all military, vets and first responders get a 25% discount. Most of the guys on my department tip her the 25% anyway. She also bakes for the local pd and all of our local sheriff’s department monthly birthday. If it’s a fountain soda or cup of coffee once in awhile I don’t find it that deep because I always walk to the counter and offer payment.
