Steve:

I retired from the Michigan State Police on February 25, 2002, after 25 years and 3 days of service. When I retired I was a F/Lieutenant in charge of MSP Statewide Operations and was a member of the Michigan Terrorism Taskforce and Team Leader of the Michigan State Police Terrorism Operations Group. I had a great career in law enforcement, but it was just time to move on to something else (I am now a professional video photographer).

BTW: The Michigan State Police were modeled after Pennsylvania State Police who are recognized as the first modern state police agency in the country. We occasionally had contact with them and they were always very professional and great to work with.

And yes, before I got promoted to sergeant and left field operations, it was not unusual to have contact with various insurance investigators. Insurance fraud is big business, at least here in Michigan.

To our Aussie Friends:

I came into this thread through the CC homepage. I did not notice until late last night that this is actually the Australian Club forum and not an open forum. My apologies for using your forum as if I'm a member. Sorry...........

Best wishes,
