I remember your academy thread. Congrats. How long are you out now?
I got sworn in the day I took my test the first of this month. Been learning a lot and love it so far

When I pull someone over for a traffic violation I like to know if the violator has a firearm. If especially if it's the same compartment as your registration and insurance. If everything comes back clear and you are nice and courteous I will let you off with a written warning.

Are you referring to a written warning for the traffic violation?

Tex
Yes. Department policy says we have to either write a citation or a warning on a traffic stop.
