I went to the Sugar Land Police Department Citizens Academy. Very informative/eye opening. I highly suggest going to one where you live if available.

Even took a tour of the Office of Emergency Management control room/911 operations/jail in Sugar Land out on hwy 90.

Sugar Land PD makes the NSA look like amateurs with all their monitoring cameras & traffic light cameras all over the place and automatic license plate tracking devices on Police Units. They have an inconspicuous offsite facitity in the shopping center near Gander Mountain where they have tons of monitoring equipment and 24/7 monitoring personel.

Big brother lives in Sugar Land.

CC was not allowed in SLPD building or Jail. I had mixed feelings about SLPD officers, some seemed to dislike armed civilians while others didn't seem to have a problem with it.

One SLPD officer with an "I am the Law" Judge Dredd attitude went so far as to say in regards to CHLers that as long our guns were kept in our holsters we would be fine (implying his disapproval of CHL or the right civilians had to defend themselves). I didn't comment but I thought to myself, if the need arises, my gun would definitely be coming out. To H E double hockey sticks with this Storm Trooper, TSA, DHS reject.

Apart from one bad apple, the experience was positive and eyeopening. It gives you a view from an officers perspective.
