Is There Anybody Out There?
It's been almost three years since I posted an entry on this blog. Does anyone still read it? I am considering starting the blog up again and am wondering if there is any interest.
Observations and accounts of life as a police officer.

You are in my RSS feed and I certainly would read if you started up again.
Had to do a double take when I saw your blog pop up on my blog roll! YES! Would be very interested in reading your blog!
I'm very interested. I am working on a capstone project on stress in law enforcement for UVA and wonder if you'd be interested in sharing some of your stories with me. My email is eap3df@virginia.edu.

I would also like to know how you plan to get around your departments policies. But that is just out of personal curiosity.
Wow ! Keep posting!
I hadn't checked for quite a while, but I was hoping you'd eventually start blogging again.
I would love to see more, I've read your blog 3-4 times all the way through.
I just found this blog and as a student working towards a career as a Police Officer, I would love to follow your blog.
Definately still interested! As an actor researching for roles, these stories are quite interesting, educational, and informative on the life of an officer. Thank you for your services, as well as your stories, much appreciated!
We recommend your blog to people considering law enforcement as a career, so please keep up the good work!
I just recently stumbled across your blog, and I would read! I have been interesting in law enforcement, and it has been interesting reading some of your posts!
I think you should bring it back. I recently read your whole blog, and just applied to be a police officer in my city. Your blog really helped in my decision. I just submitted my application yesterday, and I decided to follow your footsteps and blog about my experience applying and everything that goes through it.

I've love to see it. I'm thinking about becoming a police officer myself, it's nice to get an inside view on everything, to know what awaits me, and I appreciate you doing what you do.
I can't believe that I just found your blog today. I am married to a wonderful man that has been in Law Enforcement for 30 years. I hope that you wil continue to write in your private time about your hours on the road in your town. I love all the stories my husband comes home with. We cry, laugh and share everyday.
Started reading your blog when you started it and it has never left my bookmark list. Definitely interested!!!!
I'm thinking about applying to be a police officer in N.O., so I'm trying to collect as many first-hand experiences as I can. Your blog has been the best source I've found so far.
Still reading! Bring it back.
I found your blog about a year ago and spent an entire night reading every word. I randomly check back to see if you post anything new and to my surprise this time I find this...
I hope you are still considering and I think it would be awesome if you did!
yes please do
As a paramedic, it is really nice to read how life is "on the other side of the fence"if you will. I would love to make something like this from my perspective and I think you would be surprised how similar our stories are.. I love reading this!
Very important type of info for those of us trying to get into this career! Please come back!
Yes please. I'm 19 and looking into becoming a police officer and an insight would be greatly appreciated!
I found your blog about 2 weeks ago. Been reading it since you started. Really enjoyed it! Sad that you aren't able to keep blogging!

I found your blog this weekend and read the whole thing. I've been thinking about being a police officer which is something I've never really considered before, but recently it's been calling me. Thank you so much for your insight and experiences. Your blog is truly inspiring.
I wonder if he has made Detective yet, I remember reading that was his goal and that he could apply after 2 years of patrol experience.
Hello Gary,
I am a fellow Police Officer. I would appreciate you contact me. I would rather not talk about it on your blog.
Chris@leobiker.com
I'm thinking about a career in law enforcement and stumbled across your blog. It's been incredibly helpful and entertaining. I read all your posts in about a week! Thanks for taking the time. Keep posting!
Yes, still around.

I just finished reading all of your posts. I would love it if you started up again!
Just found your site as son is looking at going to school in Athens. I'm loving it. Please continue (assuming it doesn't jeopardize your employment - which begs the question - how can they tell you you can't engage in lawful conduct while you're not on duty or otherwise representing the department)?
Definitely still in it for the long haul! As a prospective law enforcement agent, I find your posts sobering and somewhat hopeful.
I would be thrilled if this blog would see life again, Officer.

Hey Officer Gary, I loved reading your blog. The posts kept me interested everyday. I did not want the posts to end, they made me laugh, smile and feel like I was right there with you. The points you bring up are very thought provoking and I would love for you to write again, if it won't get you in trouble of course. I am a high schooler looking into the law enforcement field too. I would love to hear from you about going to college for it and any advice you have for me. Email is jakeedasnake@gmail.com

I just started reading. I'm fascinated. Your stories are gripping, whether they are scary, heartwarming, or plain insane. You also have a good writing style.
Too bad you can't post anymore. I would definitely read.

I am a police officer from India. I have been reading your blog with interest. A police officer's life is full of adventure. It is more than what we se in movies. I would suggest you to let us know about your day to day experience.

Hi, My name is Leah. I have an online radio show entitled Life, Love, No Chaser. You can look up the show on blogtalkradio.com/lifelovenochaser or here on Facebook under Life, Love, No Chaser to get a feel for the type of shows we do. You can listen to the show live via phone on Wednesday by calling 347-637-3718. It's a relationship show but we also deal with topics of the day to inform and enlighten society.
On this Wednesday at 3 pm were doing a show called "Police Lives Matter". We need at least one or two police officers, active or retired to come on the show and talk about what a police officer's life is like in the streets. We want to hear about your dangerous situations and encounters; how some officers do experience PTSD and trauma; are not always racist or being harassing. We want you to share what your perspective or feelings are when dealing with the public at large. This show is meant to restore understanding, to show police in another much more positive light and to restore and enhance relations and respect on the side of both the officer and the public.
If you or someone you know would be willing to do the interview on Wednesday, August 5, 2015 at 3 pm eastern, 12 noon pacific. It's a call in remote interview via phone. Please write me back. We respect the need to speak anonymously if that makes it easier.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
Leah

It's been a bad article for me. I wish to continue. You are writing good useful content blog. Thank you.
I realize that it's been 6 years since this entry was written, but I just wanted to say that your blog has been really interesting and offerd some really good insight. I am currently waiting to start the State Trooper academy in Texas and I discovered your blog last week and have read through it in its entirety, if you are able to start up writing again you definatly have at least one guaranteed reader.
It is my sincere pleasure to humbly introduce to you Lee County's newest photography blog.

Hello, I am a child of an LEO. My parent's career and choice to protect others is amazing, and I will never forget any officer's sacrifice. As the child of one, in the current state of things, I am becoming very anxious. I just want to know if anyone else is out there that understands what I am going through. Please talk to me, I need it.
are everyone looking for ways online to get help solving their pregnancy and infertility problems when most of every native American is talking online about the help of Dr Mandaker Alamun. I checked him out when my husband who could not get me pregnant for over 9 years of marriage as a result of low sperm count became fertile and now, I am 5 months pregnant and it is this man known as Dr Mandaker who helped my husband solve his problem. My name is Alecia from CA USA. I would advise anyone and everyone who needs the help of any spell caster in love marriage,finance, job promotion,lottery spell,poker spell,golf spell,Law & Court case Spells,money spell,weigh loss spell,diabetic spell,hypertensive spell,high cholesterol spell,Trouble in marriage,Barrenness(need spiritual marriage separation),good Luck, Money Spells,it's all he does or looking for breakthrough in your political career to meet this Dr Mandaker the link to his website copy this link (witch-doctor.page4.me)His email contact witchhealing@outlook.com for He is a Reliable and trustworthy. I and my husband have gone to different hospitals having the thinking that I was at fault for not getting pregnant. But at the Federal hospital, they examined him too and his sperm count was low and unable to get a woman pregnant as a result of male infertility. It was then I sort out,thanks to Dr Mandaker.
I think in today's political climate, and given Chief Jeri Williams' efforts to promote transparency and good public relations, it can be argued that your blog does an excellent job of humanizing the experiences of a police officer and working toward that end...
In fact, I thought of your blog and revisited it recently after seeing several of Phoenix PD's Debriefing videos posted to social media. So if you're still interested in blogging again, your department might be more supportive of it today than they were in 2009 when they told you to pull the plug. Just a thought. Hope you are well!
