My Uncle was a Carreer LEO starting right after WW II. He started out walking the Parking Meter Beat in Downtown Marrietta, OH and retired after working His way up to Chief. He never fired His Sidearm except at the Range for Qualifying. He was by the Book All the time. He backed into a car at the Grocery Store once and called for a Patrol Unit to come and write Him a Ticket. The Officer that got the call was a Rookie and freaked out about it. Uncle Pete told Him “it was My fault and either give Me a Ticket met or turn in Your Gun and Badge.”
“My Uncle was a Career LEO...”
What a man!
