Congratulations dear friend. Thank you for doing what 99.9% of the rest of us couldn’t or wouldn’t do.

Congratulations!! Any plans for the future yet, or just basking in the knowledge you don't have to go to work tomorrow?

Thank you everyone! I appreciate your kind words. My plans are to referee professional boxing and MMA bouts working my way up to championship fights. I will definitely write a book about the realities of policework.

I am humbled by all of you, David

Allow me to pile on. That is a remarkable achievement and I’m sure they’ll miss you as you’ll miss them (hopefully to a lesser degree!). Thank you on behalf of all of us who back the blue.
You must have some stories! My son is one year into Nashville’s NMPD and he’s already loads more interesting.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

Congratulations David,

That is one heck of a milestone. I broke 30 years this past Feb and looking at retiring in December. Will be two months shy of 31 years.

Spent several down south before heading up to Northern CA. Enjoy your well earned time off brother.

Cheers
Trevor

Thasnk you for your service.

In my accounting job I missed posting an accrual reversal once and got yelled at. Not the same kind of risk as in your job. :-)

Enjoy!!
