Ok, heres a question. Let's say you get certified before getting hired, something happens to you before getting hired. The job you want gets taken by someone else. Since you are certified, do you have to go to the academy again for another department?

I love the way this thieving prick's thread has been hijacked by cops. ROFL

I'm just guessing but that should be about right

There is justice in the world.

It may depend on state. In TX I think there was a small few month window to do so, while in MO it appears to be a year. I'm not sure of anywhere else.

In Colorado IIRC you have one year after being certified to obtain a peace officer position before you have to re-certify....some agencies may require you attend another academy if they have their own

So I am certified in Colorado, if I should decide I wanted to apply, I can say I passed the POST and am able to be licensed by a hiring department.


MMMMMM......... Interesting. TX is not part of the POST program, so I am still learning about it.

:)

oh yeah, but that isn't a roadblock to being hired, that's an "in-service" training. Above and beyond the State's requirements. Plus that's a paycheck too......

you would just have to challenge the POST...meaning show a proficiency in Colorado law...a few agencies out here will hire you even if you are not Colorado POST (but POST in another state) with the caveat of getting your CO POST in ~6 months

Ah, thanks.

I've got a feeling you guys are going to be big helps over the next two years for me.

Is 9-11 stuff you will learn in the academy also? I mean, it makes me wonder. Do they teach you in a classroom about the different types of guns you will be using, or do you actually physically use the guns? It's a college, so it'd be weird to think that you use guns. But going through this college is an alternate route to getting certified.

:shrug: I would imagine you would get hands on but you should ask your advisor to be sure

so basically it's the same as the MO one. Take the CO test and I'm certified and can be licensed without another acadamy (not including any inservice acadamies if that department requires one)

Still interesting, I let you know what I'm thinking sometime.



I lived in Ft. Collins as a middle school kid and a small town Poudre Park before that. Colorado is such a beautiful state, if only they didn't have the damn broncos......

Probably will when it comes time to take that specific class.

I'm excited to start class though. I'll get my degree and when it comes time to go to an academy, having that degree will really help me do well in an academy.

yes and ROFL

Denverchief, do you enjoy being a big city cop?...or did you prefer going to a smaller town?

To be fair, HALF of Colorado is beautiful. The rest is a vile, barren wasteland, worse even than *ick* Kansas.

Denver may be near the beautiful part, but it isn't in the beautiful part. The dry sand of a beach isn't wet just because it's near the ocean.

I don't work for the "big city" I work for a Sheriff's office in the mountains geographically large but population small

LMAO but without the dry sand you would be walking on dirt and then you would be in Oakland

True enough :)

I love when people bitch about driving through Kansas. I just tell them, "wait until you get to the Colorado border. Almost 150 miles pure nothing even flatter than Western Kansas.

Of course, once you see Pike's Peak pop over the horizon.....
Kansas sucks.

As Lloyd Christmas would say

Colorado huh? That John Denver is full of shit.

To all the police wannabe's San Diego is having trouble staffing it's City Police department.

yeah, but this dumbass makes us San Diegans look bad.

I will trade you a pot of gumbo for your new laptop.

I wish i could say the same where i live. I have only ever respected 1 cop ever that i ran into. Was a good guy, to bad due to health reasons he had to retire. Where i live most of the cops are corrupted pieces of shit. Oh well, i know there is a few good ones out there.

I'm new enough to this site to not realize that that was Go Chiefs post as go Chiefs name has changed. I did however over react and I wish I didn't and for that I'm sorry. I, my wife, my son had just about every material possession that was worth anything (and some just to me) stolen from our home several years ago. Many of those things can never be replaced. The problem now days is that too many people get away with shit and are not held accountable. I remember better times

Like Illinios is the "Garden of Eden"?

:shake: sorry pal you AIN'T better off no matter WHAT you think.

All you need is an IQ of 65 or over to become a cop and a couple of months "training"...I am not sure if some of these guys are qualified for that. ROFL

(by the way, that AP story had me ROFL )

isn't grand larceny for items over a certain amount of money, and it isn't 800?

I look forward to this asspipe getting clipped, and a planeteer finding the story and linking it.

That will be an entertaining day here.

A complete moron talking about "OTHERS" low IQ's :shake:

That's Funny right there....I don't care who ya are! ROFL

but you are scumy.

a scared little shit who like many many here fight little e-wars from the safety of your office chair.

youre so self righteous that you can have no humor for 'thievery, real or imagined' and yet you then use terms like 'doped up trailer trash' in the next sentence.

i wonder if youd be such a badass in person.

my bet is that your a bitchass nerd from wayback.

Yeah, I'm shaking in my boots, Deliverance Boy.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell ever other dumbfuck troll on here - I go to the CP functions and always have. If you want to see me, it isn't a hard thing to do.

And as for the "doped up trailer trash" line, if the shoe fits, you piece of shit, wear it.

Learn how to spell....

I've got a new avi for this guy...

Cop Talk, it's jalapeno cheeseball recipes for the new millenium!!!

Ex-Marine teaches pickpocket a lesson

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Bill Barnes says he was scratching off a losing $2 lottery ticket inside a gas station when he felt a hand slip into his front-left pants pocket, where he had $300 in cash.

He immediately grabbed the person's wrist with his left hand and started throwing punches with his right, landing six or seven blows before a store manager intervened.

"I guess he thought I was an easy mark," Barnes, 72, told The Grand Rapids Press for a story Tuesday.
He's anything but an easy mark: Barnes served in the Marines, was an accomplished Golden Gloves boxer and retired after 20 years as an iron worker.

Jesse Daniel Rae, the 27-year-old Newaygo County man accused of trying to pick Barnes' pocket, was arraigned Monday in Rockford District Court on one count of unarmed robbery, a 15-year felony.

Barnes said he had just withdrawn the money from a bank machine and put it in the pocket of his shorts before driving to the Marathon service station and Next Door Food Store in Comstock park, a Grand Rapids suburb.

He remembers noticing a patron acting suspiciously, asking the price of different brands of cigarettes and other items. While turned away, Barnes felt the hand in his pocket, so he took action.

"I guess I acted on instinct," he said.
Kent County sheriff's deputies said the store manager quickly came around the counter.

The three of them struggled through the front door, where two witnesses said the manager slammed Rae to the ground and held him there.

"There was blood everywhere," said another manager on duty, Abby Ostrom, 25.
Barnes was a regional runner-up in Golden Gloves competition in the novice and open divisions before enlisting in the Marines in 1956.

He lived most of his adult life in Comstock Park with his wife, Patricia, before recently moving to Ottawa County. The couple have three children.

After retiring as an iron worker, he now works part-time as a starter at a golf course.
Barnes said he'd probably do the same thing again under the same circumstances, if for no other reason than what he would face back home.

"I wouldn't want my wife to give me hell for lettin' that guy get my money," he said with a smile.

Kid got jacked up by an old man. You gotta love a story like that.

The official Chiefsplanet spelling of "Moran"??

LOL

That made me smile.

I loved that story pennywise,


Keep up with the five finger discount, FightClub. You may not get the fist in the nose, but sooner or later you'll get the Karmic Kick in the pants you deserve.

Sorry your Dad was such a prick, dude. To a better life :toast:

Personally, if I had seen you do it, I 'd have gone over and stuck that lap top up your ass and called the cops while you lay there trying to pry it out alll the while keeping you there with my foot on your pencil neck. If this is true, you're the type of person that has made this country go downhill. If not, then you are an attention whore. Either way, you are apparently a LOSER.

alright but dont say i didnt warn ya.

Nobody is gonna fight at any ChiefsPlanet functions. The moment that kind of crap arrives is the moment organizers stop organizing.

no shit.

no reason to take a little shit-talking on the intarweb literal enough to do anything stupid

Yeah, me too. Chalk one up for the old guys, he hald all the credentials, Iron worker, ex-marine.
I used to play golf with an old fart, 78, that still ran concrete full time. Tuff little guy, would get in anybodys face. :)

who said anything about fighting, i just wanna see if he can back his mouth up like he said he could.

What about bitch slappin', Mr. Phobia? Is bitch slappin' allowed?

FAX

Well crap, I was gonna show up and beat the hell out of myself. I really piss me off. I've tried to catch myself out sometime when I least expect it but I never show up. If I do catch up with myself I'll really pay the price . I'm sick and tired of my smart ass ways. I'd better look out.

What does "back up your mouth" mean to 99% of the population? You guys are both likeable people in person. You'd probably enjoy hanging out together despite your internet differences. In fact, I know you'd have fun.

means they'd both show up and be like "so you know that was just the internet right?"

guess im a 1%er,besides i have more street smarts than to say anything anywhere other than neutral ground.

esp. where hed feel comfortable.:)

I think everybody is a little more civil at the gatherings, which is why we've never even had raised voices much less fisticuffs.

Hey, I wasn't talking to or about our pal Jethro here - he drew down on me without provocation. Then when I fired back, he started in with his "I bet you're not so tough in person" shit, just like Bronco LB 52 and BelowAverage. fuck him.

You know me. I'm the same person in person that I am here. This assclown is the one who challenged me, and if he shows up at a function and gets in my face, I'm certainly not going to run from him.

i dont need to raise my voice phob. i just wanna see if his mouth has as much courage as his keyboard.

nor did i comment on how id be here or there. beside youd know id be a gentleman at anyones home who was kind enough to extend an invite.
nuff said.

few get that chance.

I don't think either one of you would actually be a problem. I just don't want somebody who might be on the fence in attending an event to be dissuaded by this discussion.

Were you planning to shoot me in the back, or sic your dogs on me?

Stewie did kick my ass at the last CP function.... I think he got lucky...:)



Although I won the next game 21-18....


Ladder golf skills....

darts.... not so much.....

Hey guys.. Hey guys..... didyou know about the dumbass that stole a laptop!

:LOL:

the point is my quick to enrage unstreetwise friend is that rarely anymore do i have to rely on violence to call someones bluff.

That's it, I'm not coming now......

Yes, you're a big and scary bully. I get that part. :whackit:

Is there any way we can have a mod log into his account and put on a screencap of all the neg rep he has in his profile?

And by the way, why does everybody assume I'm "enraged" by any of this? You and flightcub certainly have an overinflated opinion of both yourselves and your influence over me.

And as for "unstreetwise," I lived ten years in gang infested neighborhoods in Chicago (doesn't compare with the mean streets of Dogpatch, I know, but that's all I've got). I've had my share of go-arounds with big stupid toughguys and survived more or less unscathed. They didn't scare me, and neither do you.

For some reason when i see your posts, i can picture you yelling as you type it ROFL

I'd probably get fired if I did that now.

Perhaps at home. :)

War! Huh! Good God Y'all! What is it good for?

FAX

natural selection?

Absolutely Nothin ? :shrug:

I was thinking the same thing.

Say it again!

im not trying to scare anyone, your mr quick to judge w/ the 'overinflated opinion of both yourselves and your influence over me.'
beyond seeing if youd call me shit to my face i could care less about your e-crusadeS.

'They didn't scare me, and neither do you'
well of course they dont cause your in your office/home all cozy,drinking a fruitpunch talking shit like the big badass you front.

'I lived ten years in gang infested neighborhoods in Chicago'

sure you did. way to flag your street cred.

youre a bitch ass from way back.

i dont have to know you to realise this the womanly tone of your posts validates it, id put you right up there w/ hamas and meme and the rest of the self righteous crazy people who infest this BB.

**** your e-crusade "say it to my face bitch".


thats all i gotta say about it.

HEY DOES ANYONE WANT TO FIGHT?!?!
