Well while in Dayton with the wife at her parents I went to police agency that was giving a test for police chief, on a whim and not thinking that I would get anywhere. I got a call two weeks ago and I am the number one pick so far, my test score was 98% and it along with my resume was taken before the hiring board and is now in front of the comittee (whatever that is) and I will be told what is happening soon is the status.
Go figure, I walked in wearing cargo pants and a ranger polo, amist a group of colonels, majors, and lieutenants, and others of high rank from other agency's some retired and some not, in their flashy uniforms with awards on their chests like a military officer and scored the highest and have an interview coming up. They said thet are looking for a younger Chief who will be around for a while.
Wonders never cease to amaze me, never took a police chief exam before and tried it on a whim and now I'm looking at the job, doing my homework on the area, and learning the crime stats.
Maybe I'll get the job, its a smaller department in nice area but the pay is great. I know I could do the job but never figured anyone would want a chief in their forty's, my 8 yrs. military and 17 yrs. Law Enforcement background did wonders and are paying off, hmmm its in God's hands now.
