Publisher's Commentary

Leadership is an attitude of encouragement


Policing in a large metropolis can very quickly turn into a career scamper to either promotion or specialization. My own realization of this fact was after completing five years working on general patrol duties. I decided to try my hand at Traffic work in the big city. My transfer was accomplished blindingly fast... which could be a reflection on how bad one branch wanted to get rid of me or how badly the new branch wanted me.
