Make this page my home page   February 11, 2010  Gearing up for
combat with isolation exercises  This training demands precision
and proper execution, but limits decision making as everyone
knows at the onset what will happen  By Robert C. Willis Lead

College  Greek citizen warriors would fight till age 65 — no
“early retirement” for them. I just reached the age of 60 in the
fight on crime and have at least five more years as a deputy
sheriff, police officer, and law enforcement educator and
trainer ahead of me.  As I mature though, it becomes apparent
that battling on the front lines, in the trenches, has lost some
of its allure. Not that I don’t relish a good fight and a
righteous battle, it just hurts too damn much and healing is not
as quick as it used to be. Consequently, the teaching and
educating part of me has become my main focus. Also, the days of
the “good fight” have devolved to inordinate concern over
liability and political correctness.
