My cousin is gonna be a Cook County (IL) Sheriff's Deputy!

[benburch]

I am SO proud!

He studied law enforcement in college, but has been a firefighter since then due to lack of a good opportunity in law enforcement.

:) <--- There is no "I'm Proud" Smilie, so imagine one here.

1. Good!! I know the feeling. My brother was

a cop and now he works for the narcotic agency. But he is going to the state trooper academy and will either stay with the agency or possibly be a trooper. It is a dangerous job, but we need some good and honest guys to do it!!
