Like the badge number...don't get many speeding tickets I would bet.^^^
Nice shoot'in, Jack!
Not to be outdone by picklesuit, here are our kid units (and bonus mad dog pic!) shooting at the local range. They're shooting my S&W 5946 9mm which was my duty weapon when I was a Cincinnati Police Officer ('04-'06). I purchased my 5946 as well as my badge when I resigned from the Cincinnati Police in '06 to return to Delta Air Lines following a 5 year pilot furlough. Our son, Max, will inherit my 5946 while Hannah will inherit my badge which is sterling silver. NOTE: Regarding the bonus mad dog pic...yeah, I know...my stance looks nutty but that's the way the Cincinnati Police trained me to shoot...wide stance for stability.
Daughter Hannah...
Son Max...

My Cincinnati Police duty weapon S&W 5946 9mm and Cincinnati Police Officer badge...
Thanks, Fallonflyr! Believe it or not, I requested badge number 727 due to the fact that the last aircraft I had flown (prior to getting furloughed for 5 years) was the B-727 at Delta Air Lines. I was originally assigned a different badge number during the Cincinnati Police Academy...another Cincinnati Police Recruit from our class had been assigned badge number 727. I asked him if he was willing to swap badge numbers and I told him the story. He said cool beans...but I had to run the badge number swap request (and explanation) up the chain of command all the way to the Chief. Everyone said cool beans...including the Chief. And that's how I obtained badge number 727.
Also, I don't carry my badge with me since I'm not a Police Officer anymore. If I carried it with me, that would be viewed as impersonating a Police Officer which is a crime...and I believe it's a felony. My badge stays tucked away in the safe.

I keep mine tucked away as well, my kids ask questions once in a while, I was in a small department, my number was assigned not requested it was "69", and yes I didn't catch some flack, we didn't have our numbers on our stars though (I was with the Sheriffs Office).
That's pretty cool...so you were not badge number 69 but you were Deputy 69.
Also, I haven't been at AWs that long, but I've noticed that there are a handful of members here (I read quite a few AWs member profiles) that are either currently in LE, are former LE or are retired LE. I think that's pretty cool. To be honest, getting hired as a Cincinnati Police Officer was the longest/toughest application process (1.5 years with 9 separate phases) that I've ever been through for any job I've ever had...and that includes the Navy flight program hiring process as well as the Delta Air Lines pilot hiring process. LE is truly a most honorable profession and I was VERY proud to be part of it even though it was only for a short time (2 years on patrol).

I was an "on-call" deputy so if they called me I was paid, if I just wanted to go out I was not, the plan was to leave the USN and work as a deputy full time, when I was close to getting out I found out how much they made and realized I would have to work another job to make ends meet, I should have known since all the deputies worked another job.
There were great guys at that SO, I had a blast, helped many people and learned a lot from seeing the worst of people and the best of people.
That would be great for harriers, and MEU's, and is likely to cause some butthurt in the ACE
