Suicide is NEVER the Answer |

Thanks to Terry Shigg, Local 1613 Sergeant At Arms, for taking the time to write the following article. NOTE: The links at the bottom of the page have been updated to add some additional related sites.
The #1 cop killer in
the United States is police suicide. A sobering statistic in law enforcement is the fact that an officer is more likely to be a victim
of suicide than a homicide. The suicide rate of law enforcement
officers is also higher than the general population. The suicide rate
is 11.1 per 100,000 for the general population and 18 per 100,000 for law enforcement. Suicide is devastating to families, friends and
co-workers.

The hubris of David Aguilar knows no bounds |
|
|
|
Saturday, 31 December 2011 |
|
At a time of drastic budget cuts and curtailed enforcement by the Bureau he heads, David Aguilar sees fit to waste taxpayer dollars for his own change of command ceremony. Surely he deserves it, as he has gutted the morale of his troops; proposed and implemented policies that slashed their pay; lowered the hiring standards and shortened the academy in order to reach an unrealistic hiring goal and receive an excessive bonus while at the same time destroying the integrity of the Border Patrol; shilled for amnesty for illegal aliens; and received the only "no confidence" votes by the rank-and-file agents in the history of the US Border Patrol.

powerful videos by the Transport Accident Commission of
Victoria, Australia. Watch them both and keep them as a reminder of why not to drink and drive. Please, be responsible and don't become a statistic this holiday season.

As reported almost a year ago, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) created the CBP Compensation Reform proposal and submitted it to Congress for consideration.

Fa-la-la-la-what?!? |

Are you a Border Patrol agent looking for your next non-enforcement detail? Do you pay another agent to do your turn on the checkpoint so you can catch the latest episode of Glee? Sad, that Chief Fisher’s jaunt to Russia is over and you can no longer hold his bag for him? Or does the thought of enforcing the law turn your stomach?
