Same thing with post offices.

Personally I wouldn't sweat it.

Thanks for clearing it up. My first shift starts at 3pm today, I am nervous. I just want to do a good job for the Sheriff and the citizens then head home safe.

That's all that matters.

Not quite.

The condition you left the people you swore to protect in should take precedence over officer safety.

When this is not the case, bad things happen.

First evening shift done. I got to corral some horses that got loose and ran into the highway. Ran code on a 2yr old who feel and bumped his head. Ran some people off who were camping in a none camping area.

It was fun I just wish I could get out and walk more. Riding around patrolling for hours I start to get stiff. Maybe the next guy I ride with will let me get out and be more proactive.

Yes sir. I agree 100%. I was being sarcastic as the current attitude of all that matters is going home at the end of shift is skewing many cops attitudes away from what they have sworn to do. I wish there was a better sarcasm smiley. I guess the wink smiley doesn't work.

Did he want you to stay in the car most of the time while he handled most of the calls since it was your first shift? Do you have your uni and most all of your gear already.

Naw he was just the type that likes to stay in the car, I did get out and socialize with the public some. Im a people person and I believe its important to establish a good relationship with the citizens and to do that you need to get out and shake hands.

Good looking SIG. Make it a point to put a box through it today before you do another shift. Also, does your holster accommodate a TLR-1?

The holster I have will not, Ive been looking at this one...

I want a good level II duty holster, Im open to suggestions.

Mid rise safari land with the thumb lever is the way to go. The ones with the rocking motion are hard to operate seated in a car, with a vest.


Highly recommend a light if you can. TLR-1 or x300.

Safariland 6365-7742-61 (Right hand with attached light) - That is a Level III with 1.5" drop, if you don't mind those
