The Blue Line

sounds good

Thanks for the comment Jody. This was posted at www.theblueline.com on October 1 when the applications became available - I try to be timely in updating this page and I apologize for the short notice on this one.

You raise a great point that having documents on hand to react quickly to opportunities is one way to seperate yourself from the pack of applicants. Darien, like many departments. require a number of documents with their application. It is a good idea to put together a "personal application kit" with copies of all the documents you might need to respond to short notice of opportunities.

Here is what Darien requires:... Read More

Kevin: Thanks for highlighting my PoliceOne.com column on social networking for cops. It is an important topic.

keep ur job and ur personal life separate

I dont think the actions of demoting or having another let go was in need, but when you become a police officer your actions are always in the public eye and you have to be a perfect person...
