So, this is what the Gilbert AZ police think of a demotion!….

 A Gilbert (Ariz.) police officer who shot and wounded a shoplifting suspect while off-duty last August has been disciplined with a demotion to dispatcher. Andrew Biggs told investigators he feared for his life when he confronted a man and woman at a local Wal-Mart store, and struggled with the woman as the man advanced on him.

An internal affairs panel found Biggs violated four policies, including use of force, wearing a uniform off-duty and taking action while off-duty. Biggs' attorney is appealing the action, saying, "It's very sad to see a chief do this type of action," saying it sends a message that officers don't have a right to defend themselves. Biggs is appealing the discipline. In the meantime, he began his new dispatcher job on Jan. 4th.

So…if you mess up on the street, you will not mess up in dispatch…how does that happen?  Just another example of how dispatchers are recognized by upper management in some places…

Someone sent me this...think I'll send this city the Lincoln Park video I have under Good Call Bad Call...officers on phones and radio....those days are LONG gone people.

Hope the New Year brings all of you lots of joy and business!!!!!
