I am truly starting to believe that to get any where in this world you have to kiss up... Well my lips are not ever going to be attached to anyone's butt and neither is my hard working husband..who actually truly deserves more...Great Job to all LEO's that work hard to protect our communities and that deserve the promotions and I feel sorry for the ones that kiss up and do not have any idea how to be a dedicated LEO's....
I'm not sure where your husband works but it isn't always about the things it should be. I've seen promotions that really made sense and I've seen some that did not. With that said I disagree with the arrest comment. I'm sure your husband can tell you that the ability to make an arrest does not mean the ability to supervise and develop the officers beneath you. More experience however is important though if ones time on the job is spent wisely. I speak from experience as I am an officer in this area. Tell him to keep trying because determination does not go unnoticed. If he is as good as you believe him to be then he would be an asset. Welcome to the board and thanks for the kind words. We are technically family I suppose.
