    Sweet. Congrats Darla!!!
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Pretty cool!

    Can we call you gunny now?

    How long until you get chief?

    Can we call you chief wingnut or would that be too close to chief Wiggum for comfort?

    Since you're not chief yet, can't call you chief but sarge sounds so...so...I dunno, not "you", ya know?

    How 'bout we call you sport?

    Can I have your children?

    Is sport too impersonal?

    Can I go on a ride along?

    I promise I won't touch the siren and lights...but I can't make any promises on the PA system.

    That's pretty cool!

    Congrats!

    LOL ok. Maybe it depends on the agency but with my department detective is just a job title, not a rank. It's a lateral, albeit more prestigious, move for an officer.
