<\/a><\/p>\nComing off my weekend, I thought of a few things that I resolve to do in 2012 for survival, professional development, and peace of mind:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Spend more time with family for relaxation.<\/li>\n
- Maintain fitness and a good (decent) diet.<\/li>\n
- Get to the Range more (though I went two days ago).<\/li>\n
- Be prepared each shift for a violent encounter.<\/li>\n
- Make sure all weapons and duty equipment are in good order.<\/li>\n
- Have patience with my co-workers.<\/li>\n
- Remember that we are always in the public eye (and cameras).<\/li>\n
- Be a good role model to the younger officers.<\/li>\n
- Strive for quality work in all areas.<\/li>\n
- Do not become obsessed with politics and rumors at work.<\/li>\n
- Be a positive influence, not that miserable guy.<\/li>\n
- No more playing with gators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
