    If not adjudicated in courts as mental, he can still buy guns.

    Yeah, I know. A fine line. It's not helping things though.

    Yeah. Like you mentioned this individual apparently had a mental situation that went way south. This situation is just sad.

    Was notified early this morning when this was developing. Makes me sick.

    Sean has a GFM page ready to go for the officer that is deceased. Let’s make this thread about the brave men and women that serve every day.

    I don't get much sleep lately. Came back in around 5 or so and was just hitting the radio. Hope the 6 others that were shot come through OK.

    Oh right on.
    I thought I read one time that you were a vol LEO, I thought that was more of a county thing.

    Either way, thanks for what you do brother.

    :thumbsup: 17 years and counting

    We aren’t sworn, but are held to high standards as if we are. We are used a lot during holidays, city events, EVOC, active schooter scenarios, Victims Advocates (not my thing) ride with Patrol when we can, DUI check points, crowd control, traffic control, etc. The department I volunteer for treats us like royal king and queens.

    That’s awesome man. I’m thinking about going the PD or SO route after I ETS. The Springs has a civilian officer program but all they do is direct traffic at accidents and all manner of lameness. EPSO has a proper Vol Deputy program but you have to be POST cert’d So when I applied, I was denied. It seems like a good way to test the waters though. I think I might just get my POST through the local Com College and try again...

    Last year, after a 3 hour interview for the POST academy I was offered a spot. However, a promotion (that was rare) came up and I took the position over the academy so I can continue to give my family what I never had growing up.

    Detective Dan Brite was my neighbor at the time he was shot and paralyzed. I witnessed the destruction it does to a family and also saw first hand what a tight knit group law enforcement is.
    My thoughts to all of the families involved in this tragedy and we will keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

    Wow. I just read about his recovery story yesterday on our local news. Small world...

    Douglas County detective determined to walk again after being shot in the line of duty

    He is a friend of mine and a very determined man. I’m not sure most people would have had the determination to survive much less try and walk.
    I know his family has a heavy heart today after this tragedy.
