From the Florida Highway Patrol: “Important Reminder: If you do not need to be on the road, stay safe and stay home! Snow, sleet, and ice can impact the roads and your ability to drive safely, especially if you are not used to the conditions, as many Floridians are.” Be safe out there. And warm. Randall

This is not my photo, but it mirrors my career. I started out in a 1985 Dodge Diplomat squad car, like the one on the right. My latest cruiser was a Ford Interceptor, shown on the left. For me, it has been a 37 year wild ride from patrol officer to command staff and major’s clusters. Technology has progressed from Smith & Wesson Model 64 revolvers to Sig Sauer P320 semi-autos. As a rookie, I never thought I would be in SWAT or K9 or detective division. My career has been a dream job I could not have imagined. Randall
