A wee hop over the pond...

I have been told I am the true to life version of Forrest Gump (not sure if it's 'cause I'm a bit slow - or always in the right place at the right time?).

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago the Chief asked me to fly with a select group of US police executives to Edinburgh Scotland. The idea is to study how an unarmed police force deals with armed suspects in an attempt to see if we can reduce fatal police citizen encounters.  I thought long and hard (less than .003 seconds) and said YES!

So, here I am. Boarding a British Air flight to Edinburgh via London. I'll keep you all posted!
