During a tour of the Tracy Police Department by School Resource officer Wes Bancroft, students had the opportunity to see K-9 officer Dan Pasquale and his dog, Cid, perform a sample of their work.
Fieldman said the students are learning about different career options with guest speakers that included crime scene investigators, court officials and visits to places such as California Highway Patrol academy and Deuel Vocational Institution.
I have often wondered why those officers not holding rank have not lateraled to other departments. Oh wait, they'd have to work in other departments.
No, being a police officer is not an easy job. You definitely have to deal with a ton of criticism from people who don't understand the law, don't understand the limits of the police, the procedures they follow (what led to mehserle making such a horrible mistake since Bart pd didn't require tasers to be kept on the opposite side of the body from their service weapon) and are haters because they can't admit that they were speeding and it's not the cops fault they got a ticket. But this article isn't about the job the police are doing. The haters comments should be reserved for another article and not this one! Trolls, keep moving.
Secondly, I am happy to see these kids in the article are looking towards a career in law enforcement. It is a whole hellovalot more then I can say for the loosers who create problems for us all.
Good to see many young people wanting to be on the right side of the law.
tommybahama, do you agree?
Great way to reach out and save young minds by introducing them to many fields in law enforcement......
Great article!

There is one more that I forgot to mention:
Let the city manager, the finance director and human resources director cut your department to the bone while you run around micro-managing unimportant projects like (insert your choice of projects here).
Is he really full of hot air or just posting his observations? Because I think the chief is an over paid narcissistic politician, living in a very small world
I will say that you should step back and take a good look at everything that's going on in Tracy and not just base your comments on what my comments say. The truth is, there's quite a bit of truth in what I've been saying and the only people who are aggravated by my comments are either those who have a vested interest in the chief's success; or those who don't want to see the truth for what it is.
Either way, I encourage you to continue expressing yourselves because I most certainly plan to do so.
but hey, I have seen a more highly visible presents of police cars in town, something is getting better. than before.
Never accept responsibility for your inactions
Not talk to your staff
Manipulate crime statistics so it looks like things are better when they're not.
You know, like a 48% increase in Property Crimes and a 120% increase in Rapes.
Be able to say "Yes" to everyone...
Enjoy travel paid for by the city.
Never make any difficult decisions.
Blame everyone else when things don't go well.
And finally, show up every fifteen days to pick up your excessive pay check.
Johannes Mehserle I support because he made a bad mistake but, this isn't about that. I much rather read about the coppers reaching the youth before the freakshows known as gangstahtrash do.
You can go with this or, you can go with that.
