I continued in this post until my retiral in 1993 after 32 years. I came to the Police Service at a time of great change, not all for the better, from whistle to radio, from bicycle to car, from normal fingerprint to DNA fingerprint, from hand held police records to computerised systems to name but a few. Unfortunately the big one has yet to come for the British Police Service. From baton to gun. I was and still am an active member of the International Police Association and since retiring have visited I.P.A. friends across the pond.
Email is a great medium for keeping in touch.
I worked as a Court Officer at the Sheriff Court in Dundee from 1993 until November '99 when my wife and I sold up in Dundee and bought a house in Killin, Perthshire to be our retirement home. Amongst my many interests are of course computers, I.P.A., travel, Scottish History. American Civil War and meeting people, hence our Bed and Breakfast room. I also bought myself a boat and use it to take trips onto Loch Tay. To my friends still in Law Enforcement, take care and work safely.
