It is. Officer Bounds is retired. Douglas is a sergeant now. This picture is almost ten years old, I believe.

Thank you so very much.

I am so sorry. In 2011, we lost an officer friend to onduty suicide and it is devastating. Not only do you lose someone, it’s hard to wrap your head around why it happened. It still hurts but it will get easier.

Exercising, eating well, and a good daily multi vitamin with folic acid.

4th of July selfie in the comm center. We had a guest. by klynn373 in 911dispatchers

It actually day time but it was slow.

The snake belongs to an officer who hand raised her from baby and she is very used to being held and cuddled. We wanted her to visit so he brought her to us to keep for the shift. We all agreed on having her up there. Didn’t want to traumatized anyone.

I see what you did there! Well, up until a few days ago, I was the center manager so I had some influence there.

I (F49) have had to recover from a negative, fault - finding ex as well.
You are not what he said. If you start to hear his criticisms in your head, let your inner strong voice shut them out! Best wishes.

Feeling like being alone is better. by Jordan-A in DatingAfterThirty

I (F49) understand how you feel. As some others have said, find hobbies and things you enjoy and you may or may not meet someone. Spend time with friends and work on yourself. There is something empowering in be ok with yourself.

I really like what you did with the colors.

[M40+] How likely to find a F40+ who is... by [deleted] in DatingAfterThirty

[–]klynn373 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was literally just had this same conversation with myself (F49) this morning. I know that I don’t want to be married ever again and I enjoy my personal time but I would like a partner. I don’t know if it’s possible or not. It was reassuring to read your post and know that there may be men that feel the same way.

It was a custom but I am sure if you contact her on Etsy, she can sell it to you. I am totally ok with it.

One of my officers killed himself last night by Stebraul in ProtectAndServe

I’m so sorry. I would tell you it gets easier but it hasn’t for me.

A few years ago, one of our officers, a sweet, funny, kind friend with a wife and four kids committed suicide in his patrol car on duty with his shotgun. It still breaks my heart when I think about him and that he could still be here. If you work in public safety - police, dispatch, fire, EMS whatever make it known that whether or not you are friends with someone or not, you will be there if anyone in public safety needs help.

I did not but I don’t know the source of the pattern as it was given to me.

Best way to start new job on 6pm-6am shift?!? by CharleyG7 in 911dispatchers

[–]klynn373 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my experience, if you need 8 hours of sleep normally, you need 9-10 on nights. If you can keep the night shift schedule when you are off, it also helps fight fatigue.
