I especially like seeing the local guys' in their "bicycle uniforms" working details...very professional! For those of you who wear the "Hill Street Blues" uniform cover, i.e., the "baseball" cap: Get your uniform cover on...unless you are going to play baseball...it's no "cooler" in a temperature sense than your eight-point/round top...

Get into your regular uniform and try to look like a cop, and not some juvenile "skateboard" slacker...I know it's uncomfortable, but that's not why we got into this business...comfort is for lemmings'...suck-it-up and try to look like something other than a generation X/Y/Why scumbag!

Shorts = Slacker.

Nice pins, Barbie!

If a Lieutenant is working details, he is: (A) Living beyond his means, or (B) Greedy.

'nuff said.

(If he's there to "supervise" a detail of cops, cool...but if he's watching Boston Gas fix a leak...)

Then he should've stayed married until the welps were in college. Plan your life.

Hey, 40th, how about the orange raincoats and blue campaign covers that are almost white from "detail sun exposure"!

When I worked road jobs, I was out of the car (as I have stated elsewhere) except at night. We have had times when we were unable to fill highway jobs, so we contacted other agencies to offer the jobs to them: I know of one occasion when the local guy was at the sight for less than one hour and left, stating that it was "too dangerous" because of all the high speed traffic bearing down on his position...he had a marked cruiser, too.

NEOPHYTE: 1. a beginner; a novice: especially, a priest newly ordained or a person who has just entered a convent; 2, one recently baptized: a convert.

from the Greek: neophutos: newly planted.

Hence, "neophytical"...

Well, #2, I guess you missed my previous post where I stated that I was out of my cruiser for all details EXCEPT the overnight ones...The majority of my details were worked in your county, on Rt 2, 9, 20, 290, 190, 395 and 495.

The only time I travelled into your syphilitic (look that up in your "Funk and Wagnells") city was to eliminate bodily wastes, an appropriate use for Worcester, septic tank of the state.

By the way, the definitions I provided were from the Winston Dictionary, College Edition, 1947, John C. Winston Co., not Webster.
