  • Blind Ambition

    Columns: In My Sights

    “If a man aspires to the highest place, it is no dishonor to him to halt at the second, or even at the third.” —Marcus Tullius Cicero One of the early impressions I had upon graduating from the academy was the need to start studying for the sergeant’s exam that I would be eligible to take in three years.

  • Crimes against Tourists

    Departments: Patrol Response To...
