Reactions?

I think this is 100% accurate, and would be delighted if he actually gave a speech like this. Unfortunately, he cannot, as, despite all the negative attention, he needs to stay in office and do his job, like he has been for the past 4 years. Power to the President!

PRESIDENT BUSH’S RESIGNATION SPEECH

Normally, I start these things out by saying “My Fellow Americans.” I’m not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don’t know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you’re really not fellow Americans any longer.

I’ll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: there’s been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office. The reason I’m quitting is simple. I’m fed up with you people. I’m fed up because you have no understanding of what’s really going on in the world. Or of what’s going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.

Let’s start local. You’ve been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that’s despite record numbers of homeowners including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we’re mentioning minorities, I’ll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton Administration. I’ve mentioned all those things before, but it doesn’t seem to have sunk in.

Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there’s increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.

We face real threats in the world. Don’t give me this “blood for oil” thing. If I was trading blood for oil I would’ve already seized Iraq ‘s oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don’t give me this ‘Bush Lied People Died’ crap either. If I was the liar you morons take me for, I would’ve easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be ‘discovered.’ Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty. Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named ‘ Clinton ‘ established that policy. Bet you didn’t know that, did you?

You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to outspend and out-tech them. That’s not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don’t care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That’s be fine, as long as they weren’t also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you. And the bastards are all over the globe. You should be grateful that they haven’t gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you’re not. That’s because you’ve got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I’m disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of ‘Survivor’.

Instead, you’ve grown impatient. You’re incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.

Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat’s political campaign, well, damn it, you might just as well Fedex a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.

In this day and age, it’s easy enough to find the truth. It’s all over the Internet. It just isn’t on the pages of the New York Times or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you’d be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol. I could say more about your expectations that the Government will always be there to bail you out, even if you’re too stupid to leave a city that’s below sea level and has a hurricane approaching. I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wa
not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I’ve come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.

So I quit. I’m going back to Crawford. I’ve got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I’m done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.

Oh, and by the way, Cheney’s quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there’re just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.

So that’s it. God bless what’s left of America . Some of you know what I mean.

The case of Robert Ben Rhoades serves as an excellent example of the type and nature of case to which VICAP’s services would provide critical assistance and support. Rhoades is considered one of the most dangerous and notorious serial sex offenders and killers in the United States. Some investigators believe that he is responsible for at least 50, but possibly hundreds, of deaths. However, he has only been convicted of one homicide, for which he is serving a life sentence.

Rhoades was a professional long-haul truck driver, and his case dramatically demonstrates the sophistication of a criminal predator who can effectively defy law enforcement by taking advantage of fragmented law enforcement efforts, disconnected and detached data resources, and inconsistent investigative approaches.

On April 1, 1990, Trooper Mike Miller, an Arizona highway patrolman, observed a semi-tractor-trailer parked on the shoulder of I-10. As Miller approached the vehicle to offer assistance, he looked inside the 18-wheeler and observed a bound, nude, white female in the sleeper berth of the cab. A horse-type bit and bridle was in the mouth of the terrified victim, who was chained to the interior of the truck. Also in the sleeper berth was Robert Ben Rhoades, who, when surprised by the trooper’s advance, immediately exited the truck and tried to convince Miller that nothing was wrong. Rhoades stated that the events being discovered were consensual and a private matter.

While Miller tried to sort through the situation, he placed Rhoades under arrest, at which time he discovered Rhoades was in possession of a loaded .25 Caliber automatic pistol (Brandel, 1966). Rhoades was placed in the trooper’s vehicle and secured with a seat belt. By the time Miller had checked on the victim and returned to the squad car, Rhoades had managed to get the seat belt off and slip his handcuffed hands in front of him. Miller asked Rhoades if he had a handcuff key, to which Rhoades affirmatively replied. Miller took the key, re-cuffed Rhoades behind his back and through his belt, and stayed with him until backup officers arrived at the scene to assist.

After the terrified victim (later identified as Lisa Pennal) was released, she recounted her story of abduction and torture. She stated that she had accepted a ride with Rhoades at a coffee shop in Buckeye, Arizona. Although Pennal was difficult to interview and spoke in fractured sentences, the investigators learned of her transient lifestyle and current drug abuse. The investigator noted that though she was dressed in a skirt and shirt, on her feet she wore only slippers designed like a cartoon tiger.

The victim indicated that she had fallen asleep in the sleeper berth, only to awake as Rhoades was placing handcuffs on her wrists and ankles. She stated that Rhoades beat her with a whip, attached a chain around her neck, and attached spring-type clips to her nipples and vagina. It was unclear how long Rhoades had kept Lisa Pennal in this torture chamber, but the physical injuries on her body indicated that several events of whipping and torture occurred. During this ordeal, Rhoades told Pennal that he had been doing this to girls and women for 15 years.

Even though Rhoades was handcuffed and in custody, he remained calm. He made light of the mental capacity of the victim and tried to get the investigator to sympathize with him as he described her as the aggressor in the event, referring to her as a “lot lizard.” Alva Busch quotes Rhoades in the book Roadside Prey: “‘I can tell you, this girl is not playing with a full deck,’ laughed Rhoades, as if someone had told a joke . . ‘She ain’t wrapped too tight,’ chuckled Rhoades, ‘you don’t screw around with the women on the road. Not unless you want your dick to drop off, okay? . . . She wanted to go to bed. . . . I was dragging anchor. She was going back to bed.’ I said, ‘Go ahead.’ She started taking off her clothes, and I said, ‘What the $%^& and I let her’” (1996, pp. 58–62).

The victim, who was hysterical at times, showed evidence of sustained physical and sexual abuse, corroborating her story of captivation. Rhoades’ explanation began to fall apart as investigators discovered large amounts of bondage-type pornography and sexual assault materials in his truck. Rhoades’ account was not supported by the clues.

During the subsequent investigation, search warrants were executed on the cab of the semi-tractor truck and on Robert Ben Rhoades’ residence in Houston, Texas. The results of the searches revealed a briefcase containing whips, handcuffs, spring-type clips, a dildo, various items of women’s clothing, miscellaneous paperwork, and several photographs of a young white female in various poses, both nude and partially dressed.

There were Polaroid photographs of several women inside “open-roofed” vehicles, apparently taken from inside the trucker’s cab as the women passed him on the highway. These photographs were seized from Rhoades’ Houston apartment. There were also photographs of one particular victim (a teenage girl) in the sleeper berth of the trucker’s cab, in the outdoors, and in an abandoned barn-type structure. In this particular set of photographs, the victim was handcuffed, chained, and posing with a dildo and had the spring-type clips attached to her nipples.

The teenager in the photographs remained unidentified as far as the Robert Ben Rhoades case was concerned. Then, on September 29, 1990, the decomposed body of a young female was found in an abandoned barn near Greenville, Illinois. The cause of death was determined to be ligature strangulation. The victim was later identified as 14-year-old Regina Walters. Walters was reported as a runaway from Pasadena, Texas, nearly 8 months before her remains were discovered. At the time of the initial missing persons report, Walters had been in the company of an 18-year-old white male named Ricky Lee Jones. The two were reportedly hitchhiking to New Mexico. Ricky Lee Jones has not been located as of this writing.

Interestingly, the investigators working on the Rhoades case and the investigators working the Walters case in Texas and Illinois were each working independently of one another. Finally, through teletype and national databases, they started working together.

Tragically, Robert Ben Rhoades would remain a “single episode” until September 28, 1991, when he would be tied to the death of Regina Kay Walters. There were no photos of Ricky Lee Jones in Rhoades’ collection, but there was a journal entry in a small notebook found in Rhoades’ possession at the time of his arrest that states, “Ricky is a dead man” (Evidence, 1990). Police also recovered several items of clothing that belonged to Walters in the possession of Robert Ben Rhoades (1990).

Reflecting on the comment Rhoades had made that he had been “doing this for 15 years,” investigators looked more closely into his trucking records. They discovered that the murderous trucker had traveled extensively from the shores of the Pacific Ocean to the East Coast of New Jersey. He specifically traveled through Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia, and Florida (Evidence, 1990).

Suddenly, the many missing persons, unidentified bodies, and unsolved homicide cases in each of those states took on new meaning. Law enforcement agencies began to share information about similar crimes and victims more generously than at any time before the incident. Since the Rhoades case broke, there have been many missing persons and unsolved homicide cases that have been attributed to Rhoades, but he has only been prosecuted for the death of Regina Walters.

This “single episode,” while not forgotten, joined the huge caseload of Detective Susan Trammell, receiving less investigative attention as leads cooled and time passed. During this same period of time, Rhoades continued to travel from one state to another. As the Rhoades saga progressed, information was discovered about another victim named Shana Holts, from January of 1990, who came into contact with Rhoades at a truck stop in San Bernardino, California.

Shana Holts escaped Rhoades’ torture and reported the terrifying incident, mirroring the events that Trooper Miller uncovered. Holts was so terrified of Rhoades that when she was faced with the prospect of identifying him after fleeing his vehicle, and then of having to testify against him, she declined to cooperate any further and the case was dismissed.

Other similar situations were discovered as time went on. Law enforcement agencies in many different parts of the United States had criminal abductions and possible homicide charges against Rhoades based on comparisons and travel routes. In each of those incidents, the individual agencies initially believed they were dealing with a single event, pertaining only to their jurisdiction. It was not until the final chapter of the Rhoades saga was written that each agency came to realize that its “single event” was the work of a sadistic serial rapist and murderer.

The Rhoades case has helped law enforcement agencies across the United States to see, in graphic detail, the value of cooperating, communicating, and coordinating their efforts in solving difficult criminal cases. If better information sharing and coordination had occurred, it might have dramatically reduced the number of victims who fell prey to Robert Ben Rhoades (Cooper & King, 2001).

This case is reviewed in more dramatic detail in the recently published book Predators: Who They Are and How to Stop Them (Cooper, King, & McHoes, 2007). Additionally, it is cited as a case methodology reference in the second edition of Analyzing Criminal Behavior II (Cooper & King, 2001). Another thorough review of the case is presented in the true crime novel Roadside Prey (Busch, 1996).

In March of 1991, the Illinois State Police received this letter from Regina Walters’ mother:

Dear Sir:

In September 1990, the police in Illinois found the remains of Regina Kay Walters. She disappeared February 3, 1990, from Pasadena, Texas. She was only fourteen years old at the time, and my only daughter. At this time the police have not yet brought to justice the person who has done this to my child. Even though we did not live in Illinois, this case should still be kept open. No child’s death should be given up. It could happen again.

At that time, the police in Illinois asked us to keep this out of the media. We have done that and more. Just because you haven’t heard from us doesn’t mean we don’t care. We were trying to give you time to find Regina’s killer. Please don’t give up. What if it was one of your children? You couldn’t rest, knowing there is someone out there who took someone you loved, and don’t ever think we didn’t love Regina, because she was very much loved. So please don’t quit looking for the killer of Regina Kay Walters.

Sincerely,

Carolyn S. Walters

A Question in connection with my EI benefits, attending institution and seeking section time employment?
Here’s the deal: I have be collecting Regular EI benefits since the Spring and I worked a part time job over the summer.

So I started school within September and Service Canada gave me authorization to quit my part time position because I have just cause (school be in another town). Since moving to this new town I established to take another part time position where on earth the pay is $8 for a maximum of 14 hrs per week.so here is my question: If I can find another chunk time position for $10 per hour with more flexible working hours during the week and the possibily of obtaining up to 18 hours per week would I be capable of quit my current part time job? Seeing that they are funding my anyone in school would they expect me to work at both places because it wouldnt in truth be possible seeing that one job has restricted hours of operation and I am contained by school full time all afternoon long. Should I call and ask permission or not? Do you regard it would be allowed? Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

A snoop contained by the bureau think I’m getting remunerated too much? (read on for details)?
Someone here in the office found out my hourly wage and spread it around to others surrounded by the office. When I found out I was angry because I never told anyone and my wage is none of their business. They’re adjectives complaining, saying its unfair because I’m within a low level position but earn the same hourly wage as adjectives the other higher ranking (but non-management) office personnel. I work for a small familial owned contracting firm in Texas, near Houston. I’m concerned because these guys are going to petition and convince the owner to cut my wage to $10/hr…the going rate for my position surrounded by this area for a company this size. Texas is an at-will state so I think the owner can lawfully do this if he chooses. Considering how I remember my boss arguing with the owner over the phone about paying me $14/hr (owner looked-for $10/hr or less) I think he is likely to do it. I’m an Administrative Assistant making $14/hr. I answer the phone, bar city permitting and inspection issues, handle company and counter sales, back up for scheduling…when this guy isn’t contained by I fill in for him 100% (take adjectives his calls, schedule installations, trims, and final work) scan & email paperwork, and scan within paperwork for archival purposes. I also happen to be the only extremely computer savvy member of staff in the company. I provide software assistance for all packages including AutoCAD (have an honors level in drafting), troubleshoot the computers and issue a report to accounting who then contacts the outsourced upholding company to complete the repairs, maintain/upgrade all databases, create new applications, maintain/upgrade the in-house created software (originally created by my ex-boss who quit more rapidly this year). In your opinion…is $14/hr too much for my position considering my duties as listed above?

Since forensic nursing is a fairly new field in nursing care, not too many people are aware yet of their roles. So many of these medical-legal professionals are already in the field helping victims of crimes by becoming instruments in putting the criminals behind bars. But how did this forensic practice start? Here’s a quick view of forensic nursing history.

Caregivers or health providers have been around for a long time now and many have already practiced forensic-type of services even before forensic nursing was recognized. In fact, during the 13th century, there were nurses who played the role of forensic practitioners as they examine the young women arranged to marry royalty.

These women were required to be virgins before they can proceed with the marriage. The nurses of that time were the ones who confirmed the women’s virginity to the monarchs. Nurses have also already worked with sexual assault and abuse cases during this period.

Prior to forensic nursing, sexual assault nurses were the key people who handled rape or sexual abuse cases. Most law enforcement agencies in the country have a team of these sexual assault professionals who arrive at the crime scene to gather all physical evidences that can affect prosecution later on.

These medical practitioners were tasked to handle these cases and not the crime scene investigators, medical examiners or forensic analysts. Homicide cases go to the police department’s CSIs but sexual assault cases are special.

The sexual assault response team model was initiated in California. Members of this team include the victim advocate, an officer of the police department, and a sexual assault examiner. This team works together in making a full and comprehensive investigation of the crime.

The victim advocate provides counseling to the victim and preps her for the long process ahead. The police take charge of the investigation of facts. The examiner gathers the evidence, documents them properly, and assesses them.

Medical professionals like nurses, counselors, and advocates who worked with rape victims in various hospitals and clinics first established a training program for sexual assault examiners in Memphis, Tennessee in 1976. Another program was launched in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1977. These were necessary to improve the services so that sensitive cases like rape can be handled properly.

Many people during that time felt that the law enforcement couldn’t handle such cases efficiently. They were too insensitive on their approaches and most of the time, they dismissed claims of rape due to a lot of misconceptions, bias, or pure lack of knowledge and understanding on the matter.

It was in 1992 when the term forensic nursing was coined. About 70 sexual assault nurses and examiners gathered in Minneapolis that time to convene about their roles and how they can promote this service better as an organization. Shortly after, they formed the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN), which now serves as the central unit to develop and promote forensic nursing nationwide and internationally. Come 1995, forensic nursing became an official specialization in the nursing practice when the American Nurses Association (ANA) recognized it.

The government began to take notice and state legislators are now considering to pass a bill that requires hospitals to employ forensic nurses, who will care for sexual assault victims as well as victims of other crimes. There are a number of hospitals in the state of Connecticut that have certified sexual assault nurse examiners. This is considered as the entry point to forensic nursing.

In a short period of time, forensic nursing history tells us that their usefulness in the society should be recognized especially now that the world is becoming more and more exposed to acts of delinquency.

There are a number of discussions concerning the time when people have to think of their future careers and professional plans to be completed. In fact, career planning is a pure personal decision, and much depends on person’s attitude to this aspect and to this life. What this article suggests the reader is a list of periods when people try to think of their careers and have to think of their career in order not to waste this life and the right to be an integral part of society. Childhood When you are a child, many people ask you the same question: “What you want to be when you grown up?” Of course, you try to give clear and comprehensible questions in order to demonstrate your abilities and knowledge. As a rule, boys confess that they want to be police officers, secret agents, astronauts, or firemen, and girls dream about being teachers, models, singers, or designers. Though some ideas remain to be dreams, the first steps in career planning are taken exactly in this period. School When you are a student at school, you do not actually think about your future career and activities to prefer. You try to learn as many subjects as possible or, vice versa, try to avoid any types of tasks. Frankly speaking, school is not the time to think of careers but the time to study and grasp the basics of life. College After you finish the school, it is time to choose a college/university. And it is high time to think about your future career, plans, and interests. As a rule, college students have to know what profession to choose in order to decide on their majors and be able to improve the necessary skills in time. This is why you have to evaluate all aspects of your life (such as demands, finance, abilities, time, family relations, etc) to be sure that your career choice is justified. After college After you graduate the college, you should not plan your career but be completely involved in it. You have to earn money, think about present and future, and be ready to assist your children doing the same. Good luck!

What Are The Levels Of A Police Officer? There a quite a few different levels of a police officer, starting with cadet. Then the list for police officers goes up from there. This list includes uniformed officer to detective, to corporal. Then it finishes with sergeant, lieutenant and captain.

There are also other levels of police officer. The sections of FBI, Homeland Security, Fish and Game as well as others include police officers. The levels may differ in any government sector as opposed to local levels. This is in addition to the levels that are currently listed.

How Are Promotions Handled?

Promotions are handled by one of two things: time in service or by merit. Most police officers are promoted from three to six months after they are hired, and then yearly on the date of beginning service. Each promotion is judged on both work done and merit during time served.

There are also other things to be considered as well. The quality of the officer under review is also considered. Demotions are also handled in the same way, with the consideration of time served and the particular regulation that has been broken.

What Are Time Limits On Promotions And Demotions?

To my knowledge there are no time limits on promotions or demotions. Each police department has their own set rules and regulations in regards to promotions and demotions. Each also has a set of rules and regulations in regards to handling any type of police affairs.

These rules must be strictly adhered to in order to keep the department going and running smoothly This helps keep internal affairs running smoothly so that the police can use their time more effectively to catch crooks of all kinds and put them in jail.

How Is The Job Security?

The job security is there but be aware that being a police officer is a very dangerous job. There is at least a fifty percent chance that you can be seriously hurt or even killed. With that being said, the job security is good, but a lot of people can be burned out doing this kind of work.

It takes a very special person to be able to handle police work. You will work in all types of weather and you will have a very physically demanding job. You will also have to have an iron stomach to bear the sights of the very worst that mankind can to other human beings.

Is It Really That Rough?

To be brutally honest and frank, yes it is. It is a tough road to follow being a police officer and only strong people survive at least one year with the force. In other police occupations such as government, you have to be strong mentally and physically to be able to keep up with the types of crime that go on in the governmental perspective.

It is not easy to become a police officer and attrition plays a big role in hiring. This is one of the toughest jobs on the planet, with little to no thanks and a lot of headaches. But that has not stopped people from becoming police officers. Those that fill out the uniform of police officer are a breed apart. They have to be, as the job is tough.

How Will I Step Up The Ladder?

Simply put, by hard work, dedication and sheer willpower. Those three things will get you through. Putting in your time will also help you to rise up the ladder in a police officer career. The time limit depends on the particular force that you are with. Some promote through seniority only in certain positions. To become senior, you must have the time in service in order to be promoted into the next level in your career.

This takes both time and patience on your part and a willingness to stick it out, no matter how long the process takes. That will serve you well to remember that by being a bit stubborn, you can actually stick it out and receive your promotion. Be aware that promotions will also be given by what you accomplish as well as time in service.

Take it one step at a time. This will help you advance to the highest levels in the police force. By taking education classes, you will double your worth to the police force and could be used on other assignments. This type of education will serve you.

If you want to have a career in the police force then you have to attain the required qualifications. All the interested police officer applicants have to appear for the required test. It is not just appearing for these tests, but you also have to qualify well to become the most eligible candidate in the police force.

If you have always wanted to join this career then you have to start getting prepared way in advance. A lot of competition now prevails in the economy and obtaining good scores in the test is mandatory.

Many want to join the Civil Service Police Officer jobs because these have always been well paid jobs, and provide a number of benefits not only while you are on the job, but even after you retire. Appropriate time has to be spent in preparing for these exams as it is not very easy to get through these exams either.

Study guides are available online for those interested in appearing the police officer exams. By doing this you can get prepared for the exams, by going through these test preparation material on the internet. Going through the online guides is very essential, as all important aspects are mostly covered in these guides.

You are able to save more time, by avoiding the study of irrelevant topics. While a number of guides are available in the market for those interested, and it is better to use computer based information on the police officer courses, rather than purchasing too many guides when there is no time to prepare for the exam.

Most of the topics covered by the online courses cover all the areas on the police officer exam, which include situational awareness, mathematics, directional orientation, memory, reading charts, grammar and punctuation, grammar, reading comprehension, and also the study of graphs.

A number of topics are covered for overall assessment of the candidate. Any kind of information is always important as it increases your general knowledge, but when you are studying for a particular type of an exam, it is best to study topics that are most appropriate for you to join a particular career.

In the UK it is standard practice for police to work for 30 years, after which they are eligible for a full police pension. In England and Wales alone there are over 142,000 police officers and given that many would have started their journey in the police in their late teens or early twenties, it means they can expect to retire in their early 50’s. This is a lot earlier than most of us can look forward to, and is indeed a comparatively young age in which to find yourself at the end of your career.

So, what can a retired police officer do next? Many will of course enjoy their free time pursuing a variety of leisure interests, but for others, this can be a slightly boring or frustrating time and they may look to continue contributing towards society. The value ex-police officers can offer is sometimes unfairly undervalued but with an ever ageing workforce, their skills and experience are being increasingly seen as an extremely valuable asset to businesses in the private sector as well as within a continuing public servant role.

In fact, Scotland’s police chiefs have recently announced they are considering plans to draft retired police officers in to bolster their staff numbers should there be a worsening of the swine flu (or any other) epidemic. Be that as it may, what are the more immediate options for retired police officers looking to get back into work after so many years on the force?

Well, many retired police may continue to work in law enforcement jobs but within a slightly different setting. For example there are many opportunities in Anti-Social Behaviour, Licensing, Noise Pollution, Waste Services, Parking / Traffic, Planning, CCTV, Community Safety to name but a few. All of these kinds of job vacancies would highly value the experience brought from thirty years in the force. This would allow full utilisation of all the skills that have been built up, with the opportunity to apply them in a new and exciting environment working for a whole host of different organisations.

Alternatively, there are a number of police jobs as civilian support within the various police forces, or a move into fraud investigation could be considered. The most important thing to remember is that your skills will be highly values by a number of different employers across all sectors, so as long as you are prepared for a fresh challenge, this could be a very exciting time in your life if you are approaching police retirement. If you are not sure what to do next, speaking to your friends, family and colleagues is a great place to start, but also consider contacting an experienced recruitment consultant who understands your specific needs and ambitions can certainly help put you on the path to your new vocation in life.
