No longer a LEO (haven't been for almost 30 years.) I was a reserve officer in a department in Missouri for 4 years. I made more money at my regular job than the Chief of the department, so never went full-time. When I got married, I moved cities, so resigned my commission in that town. The other department wanted me to sign on as a reserve officer, but I was traveling too much to dedicate any time to the job, so never joined.gigag04 wrote: Keith where do you work?

Re: Motorcycle fun
That is pretty funny. Too bad the motor wasn't equipped with video. 
Luckily he wasn't on the bike. 
Back even before I was a LEO, my ex-brother-in-law was one in a suburb of Kansas City. While the department didn't have motorcycles, all of the officers had their own. The KZ1000C was the new police bike out (remember the old TV show CHiPs?). So, all of the guys decided they had to have KZ1000s so that when the department started getting them they could claim experience in riding them and get chosen for motor duty (or at least that was their hope.)
Anyway, a bunch of the LEO's were out riding one night, and since I was in from out of town, I didn't have my own bike, but was on with my BIL. We all had pulled into a parking lot of a mall and sitting there talking when one of the Sargent's rode in on his brand new bike. He was gonna be Mr. Cool and glide up, throw down the kick-stand and just lean over without putting his feet down. Unfortunately there had been a carnival in town the weekend before and right where he stopped there was a hole in the asphalt from a tent peg. His kickstand went right down the hole, and he and the bike went over. He ended up with his leg broken in three places where the bike fell on it!
We had to get an ambulance to take him to the hospital. I ended up riding his bike home for him and telling his wife what had happened and that she needed to head over to the hospital. It had a total of 65 miles on it and he was out of commission for about 6 weeks.
