Welcome to my page. I'm the Director, that's all I'll go by on this site.   

 I found it boring listening to or visiting other people's sites, blogs, or podcasts. My advice to most of them is, GET A LIFE!

 A lot is going on in this world today, some good, some bad. We don't need to hear about all that's going wrong in our lives; handle what you can and get on with your life in the most positive way that you can. 

 As a member of one of the finest State Police Departments in the nation, I was a part of   Nuclear emergencies, presidential details, Hostage situations, Prison riots, major gas emergencies, bank robberies, and major traffic accidents, and I still have a positive outlook on life. 

   I  worked for, with, and beside some of the most courageous men and women you've ever met. Our job was to protect human life, and we did so without any consideration of class, color, creed, or condition. We were there for anyone in danger or distress. We took great pride in conducting ourselves in upholding the honor of the force. 

   I learned a lot in my time with the State Police. There's a lot more to life than many people realize because they never ventured out of their comfort zone or experienced dangers that challenged them beyond what they thought were their limits of courage or mental or physical ability.

     I wore the Pennsylvania State Police uniform with pride.  It was a symbol of all that's good in Law-Enforcement in Pennsylvania. People we protected called us the big dogs. It was a term of respect because they knew they were safe around us. 

   What I miss most is the camaraderie. When I first joined the State Police and completed the five month training at the State Police Academy, I was assigned to a barracks that was a two hour drive from my home so I had to sleep at the barracks along with other troopers who were hours away from their homes.

   The barracks were equipped with sleeping quarters and sufficent facilities to accommodate us troopers. There were Asian, black, hispanic, white, male and female troopers all sleeping overnight at the barracks as one big family. There was none of that racist or sexist bullshit going on. 

   We all had each others backs both on and off duty. We all stood tall through whatever danger faced us. Even though there was mostly one trooper to a car covering large area's we knew if help was needed all the other troopers on duty would get to us in a timely manner. The great training we received at the State Police Academy helped us to survive until help arrived. During my 25 year career I found myself in several situations where the training  I received and the quick arrival of my fellow troopers was the key to my survival.  
  

We survived by the mindset of our moto "one incident-one trooper" There was no time for fear no matter the odds.
