    It used to be funny when older guys would say things like "If I'd known I was going to live this long I'd have taken better care of myself".

    Its not that funny now.

    When you jump a fence into a back yard look at the size of the dog shit. If it's big get out of the yard.

    Don't check anyone on the radio that your not committed to taking to jail.
    How many calls did we answer last year? All of them. Don't jeopardize your safety for response times.

    I had a coworker that would always tell the recruits and AOT officers, your radio designator is not "Any unit to clear". One call at a time done safely.
    What you do right before you know you're going to be in a use of force incident, often determines the outcome of that use of force.

    The best advice given to me when I was a rookie, from an old lieutenant:

    "Three things to remember about the State Police, son:

    1. Nothing ever stays the same
    2. The sun don't shine on the same dog's ass every day
    3. Nobody ever got in trouble for doing nothing; everybody who ever got in trouble did SOMETHING."

    Too bad I wasn't smart enough to live by those words…

    "Don't make us famous."

    "Next time I shut down an intersection for your chase, please try to keep all four wheels on the ground as you go by, or at least don't wave at me."

    From an old Troop Sgt. on a rainy day; "I don't a rain coat, I have a rookie trooper" (referring to me).

    From an old Narcotics Sgt, to new Narc (me)

    The 3 things that will get you fired are:

    1. Screwing female snitches
    2. Playing with investigative expense funds
    3. Too much booze

    From an old Capt. to a newly promoted Capt. (me again)

    There are 4 things you will spend 80% of your time doing:

    1. Attending meetings that accomplish nothing
    2. Moderating disputes within your command
    3. Dealing with personnel complaints and problems
    4. Dealing with stupid directives from HQ
