It's time for new duty boots, what is everyone wearing? I've been using the cheap Bates 8" side zips and actually don't have anything to really complain about but I think I'm going to try something different. I'm thinking about trying a pair of the new Original SWAT Hawk boots. My only reason requirements are 8" boots and I have wide feet.

I've always used 511s but never tried the 8" ones. Cheap, lightweight, and comfortable once they get broken in. They don't last terribly long though.

Been wearing some under armour boots for a few months, really light weight & comfortable. They wear like cross trainers.

I also have 5.11 TacLites (side zip) and I love them. I've put three years on mine and I'll probably replace them next year with another pair of TacLites.

It's a charter right - to be informed of the reason for your arrest and your right to contact counsel. And a few other things typically get read to you as well.

My wife may be getting a Job offer from UVA making almost six figures. Is it hard to become a cop in VA?

You would have to go back through the academy to get state certified if that matters. Its been almost ten years since I went through a hiring process in VA so I can't really speak to how competitive it is now. But Charlottesville is a decent sized department and if you're willing to split a commute and live in the middle, that opens your options considerably.

For duty boots I usually wear my 6" Red Wings though I had to get a pair of 8" boots also and went Danner for those.

It's not so bad, and you should be pretty competitive with your previous experience. You will probably have to go through an academy again though. Virginia does allow lateral transfers from out of state with a shorter academy but there is only like one or two agencies that ever do that, and they are not down there. UVA is in Charlottesville, which is an independent City surrounded by Albemarle County. If you do really start looking for cop jobs Albemarle County PD is pretty well regarded in the region. That said, the Charlottesville area is only about 45 minutes from the outer Richmond metro area and Henrico County PD and Chesterfield County PD, both large county police departments that would probably happily give you a job. Your in for a culture shock.

I know the Danners are solid boots but those both sound heavy as gently caress. I love having light boots after getting out of the Army. The TacLites are so nice and nimble.

I had a pair of Bellevilles that lasted a good three years, but they stopped making that particular model so I bought a pair of Danners. While heavy, they're built like a tank and they last.Thesoldier posted:My wife may be getting a Job offer from UVA making almost six figures. Is it hard to become a cop in VA?

I get $150/year for boots so as long as they are comy, will fit my wide rear end feet and last a year I'm good to go.

Ultimate Shrek Fan posted:In Canada. Which is why I was asking the Canadian cop while using the word our. You get read your rights, but it isn't "Miranda" and it's different although my knowledge of the American version is based on watching Law and Order. You may or may not get cautioned against making any statements, depending on the situation. If you're drunk in public, no. If you just killed your girlfriend, yes. It's fun dealing with people who's entire understanding of the Criminal Justice System comes from the opening credits of Law and Order, or their Grade 12 law class in high school. Protip: if someone says "I know my rights" at least 95% of the time they have no idea what they're talking about.

Goddamn that's a guarantee These people also usually want to tell you about their mom/dad/aunt/stepbrother who is a lawyer/judge/police chief and how your career path will be changing once they get out of these drat handcuffs!

Eh, as I was taught you always say it. But it doesn't have to be "I'm arresting you for theft for stealing two chocolate bars of a total value less than $5000 from Shoppers Drug Mart of 11342 97th Street, in accordance with section 334(b) of the criminal code". It can just be "I'm arresting you for theft". I've had people tell me they'll get off in court because I didn't recite the section and subsection of the offence. Sure buddy .

I can't think of any better way to spend the last 3 hours of my work week than sitting at this house fire with 4 dead inside. Oh well at least I'll get some OT.

Or just don't have facebook. If I was constantly exposed to all the inane bullshit my coworkers post to facebook I'd never be able to work with them. Bad enough my wife tells me about the more retarded stuff from time to time.
