As far as the wire comment, A reporter from the Baltimore Sun (Paul Simon), a newspaper in baltimore obviously, rode shotgun with a Baltimore Homocide unit for a year and wrote a book called Homocide: A year on the killing streets. And ultimatley a television show called Homicide: life on the street. One of the greatest cop shows I have ever seen. Anyway he went on to create the wire. Many of the eposodes of Homocide and the wire were based on the experiences of Simon's writing partner, a former Baltimore Homocide Detetive, (Ed Burns). A few of the actors on thew wire are retired Baltimore cops and the regular actors are from baltimore. It s a very good book, a highly recomended read. Many of the cass from both series are based on real cases. |

A post back then said they were working something like a rotating 6/2 schedule with an automatic day of mandatory OT each week until they could get enough guys hired. |

I would not recommend Baltimore City PD, that place is a different world. Too many City guys getting shot there. Do some research about the city and see if you want to work there. Good luck. |
