For your service to us all.

I believe the preponderence of opinions is that you were fed some bad info. Look around. Just for a hoot, check into the Madison CT police force (about 6 uniforms and 3 suits were recently fired for issues from stealing from local business and/or the town, to having prostitutes service them while on duty, to failing to effectively supervise officers under their watch - lots of news articles to google). We have half a PD at the moment, and a temporary chief.

Point is, we SURE could have used some mature, ethical men/women on our force. I am sure we are not alone. Infantry skills could only be a plus; advanced skills would be better. Not being a LEO, still i would expect that the discipline, respect, ethics and training you possess could only be viewed as an asset.

Good luck and God Bless!
