I Matthew Preston Schubert also think the results for each promotion request is deemed good.

Each employee for any police force must be able to enforce what it is they need, want, request and desire at certain times.

The Department of Justice is a field for people who can win, work as a team, who are more than willing to learn also open for growth within the business.

My best wishes to those who still hang in for the long hall as well as for those to drop of the ride of endurance with the business.

Kudos to the promotions of those individuals who still respect and care about the sacrifice our patrol officers endure everyday. To the rest who only care about themselves, you may pat each other on the back.
