Let’s start with scams. “Con artists” are smooth-talking criminals who aim to rip you off through trickery and deceit. They can be men or women working alone, pairs, or groups. They may stop [...]
Holy moly! Here we are, almost finished with Week 8 of our 10-week academy. Our instructors kept telling us that our time with them would be over before we knew it, and as has been the case time and time again—they were right! As recruits, we have two more tests to pass and then it’s [...]

On April 11th, we completed our final 5-mile run at the River Walk. Everyone did well in despite of the rain we had that morning.
