Life’s choices offer daily lessons

In our profession, we meet a whole bunch of people: some good, some bad and some so-so boys and girls. During our interaction with these individuals, we sometimes hear a lifetime of experiences in seconds. In the moments before performing our significant responsibility to take action or not, we comb through the ocean of circumstances we just encountered. This task can be extremely daunting.

Spring, summer storms can be dangerous

It’s that time of year again when the dark storms start rolling across the sky. Lightning strikes and thunder echoes across the desert floor. The saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers.”

Experience alters perspective on events

Apiece of glass and a frame. Almost all of us think of a picture frame. Now we ask who, what, where, when and why a particular snapshot was taken. Our interpretation to those questions will be analyzed by our perception from the seat we occupy.

Police take entire office wherever they go

Space? No, not the one above the clouds. I’m talking about the space most of us work in. From cubicles and warehouses to storefronts or window offices, most jobs demand being at a fixed location or position within a building.

Staff trained to handle myriad emergencies

What is the Emergency Medical Services system? I am frequently asked: What exactly do you do as a paramedic? Do you fight fires and run medical calls? What happens when there are multiple calls or a fire and a medical call at the same time? What happens when you take someone to the hospital?

Venomous creatures like hot weather, too

The spring and summer months are upon us. This, for many people around town, means they will be starting to go outside and enjoying the great weather. Unfortunately, with the hotter temperatures and the weather steadily becoming warmer, the bugs, snakes and other insects become more active. I’m sure, if you haven’t already, you will begin to see the bugs and insects more frequently.

Communication skills make good, bad impression

Communication comes in many forms. I’d like to look through a scope into language. In the policing business, proper language can be a liberating fact. Conversely, poor language could be intellectually condemning.

Good description helps locate missing pets

Long, dark straight hair or curly, short light hair? Not sure? A boy or a girl? How much did they weigh? Were there any recognizable features? Which way did they go? You get the point. Can you paint the picture? All of these questions are important, especially when we’re looking for a family member or a best friend.
