Wouldn’t that kind of thing pop up during a routine I-9 check? Normal people have to do I-9’s on new employees, but local PD’s don’t?
“””So, why is he buying one for his job, I dont know. “”””
A friend was an officer. I seem to recall he bought a hammerless revolver as a backup.
The Chief of Police in Old Orchard,Maine , Elise Chard.
Ms. Swan thinks she look like a man.
I think she’s cute.
You don’t need to be a US citizen or at least green card holder to be a police officer?
He’s ok. Come on.
gets hired sept 2023 but visa was only good for another week, til oct 1st?
whoever looked at visa to hire him should get legally in trouble too, imo.
As a deputy in Texas, we had to supply our own hat, boots, handgun, belt, & cuffs.
Oh, and purchase our own badge (included our own name on it, no number, and was $250/badge back then).
"I think she’s cute."
Old Orchard Beach is a really nice town to vacation at.
Sad to read it has come to this..
