Happy 2015!

Happy 2015, friends!  New Year’s Day always reminds me of resolutions.  I posted the following photo and comments three years ago.  It was ThinBlueFlorida’s first real post.  Thanks for sticking around and reading my articles…

Coming off my weekend, I thought of a few things that I resolve to do in 2012 for survival, professional development, and peace of mind:

• Spend more time with family for relaxation.
• Maintain fitness and a good (decent) diet.
• Get to the Range more (though I went two days ago).
• Be prepared each shift for a violent encounter.
• Make sure all weapons and duty equipment are in good order.
• Have patience with my co-workers.
• Remember that we are always in the public eye (and cameras).
• Be a good role model to the younger officers.
• Strive for quality work in all areas.
• Do not become obsessed with politics and rumors at work.
• Be a positive influence, not that miserable guy.
• No more playing with gators.

Happy New Year!
