Lt. Caleb French said… - Chek,
I keep going to the publishers website, but every time I try to write a review, it tells me that writing reviews for that product is currently offline. Just thought that you should be made aware... Didn't know if you could do anything about it or not.

- I really appreciate you listening and giving me you advice. I am going to have to do something about the other officers but my rank is the only thing that lets me try to keep the guy's safe. I am going to tell them at they next meeting that they need to step up and start doing things.

- i will keep talking to her. I think that her biggest problem is that she has had nobody to talk to about this. I am suprised that her dept. didn't go though a debreifing immediately following that inccident.
