I started to post on this site earlier, but luckily - I waited after calmning down!!!! What started out as something pretty funny, really got me in a bind earlier today with the phone getting almost 250 text while I was on the side of I-10.
I have been helping my old friend from high school that spent many years with me in law enforcement start up a new unit. He is the chief of police for a town close to me and he and I worked I-10 for years as ICE (interstate criminal interdiction). We are training some young guys that is being funded by a federal grant. About the time we shut down a vehicle and have a dog alert on a truck, my blackberry goes nuts. The whole time I am trying to monitor the situation, watch the suspect, listen to the answers being provided, and await details from a federal agency that had information on the truck, my phone was useless and put me in somewhat of a bind. I finally threw my BB in the unit and advised the dispatcher to send all info to another guys BB. What a waste of air time!!! Funny, but still made for some undo stress in a bad way!
In the end we found a load of "white powder" and it did not ruin the day. More to come on that later.
