Ruth Halterman

Another sad event has happened. My wife's Grandmother passed away. The funeral was held on Thursday. My wife was very close to her grandmother. I think what made this easier for everyone is the fact that Ruth's quality of life over the last few months was very poor. It was in many ways a relief that she passed, an end to the pain. I know she's in a better place now and i really hope that all the family can overcome her passing. I will miss her, she was a great lady.

Personality type

There is a fairly easy way to find out what trait you are. Just ask yourself these questions. Try not to answer them the way you want to be but be truthful to yourself, and answer them the way you are. 

 

 

Generally are you more Competitive, or more Laid back?

 

     If  you’re more competitive then, do you usually Tell people what to do, or try to Persuade them to do something?

           If it's Tell, then it's likely you are the Dominant personality; if it's Persuade then you’re more likely to be the influencer. 

 

 

     If your more Laid back then overall do you tend to Let things go, or are you ore of a Perfectionist. 

          If your tend to let things go your probably a Steadfast person. If your more of a perfectionist your likely to be the compliant person. 

 

 

 

Most people are the steadfast. Now just because your a steadfast doesn't mean you don’t have moments of being the dominant or the influencer, or even the compliant, it just means that your basic personality is steadfast. The same goes for all 4 personality traits. 

 

 

     Dominant personality is pretty much what it sounds like. These are the people that want to be in Charge. They have a strong personality, and tend to jump into things without thinking sometimes.

 

 

     Influencer personality really like there friends, and they like to BS a lot. They are the ones that will try to convince you of something. You can tell an influencer by the way they keep their car, usually messy and unorganized. They have really good people skills. 

 

 

     Steadfast are the Mommies. They take care of others, and are usually willing to help. They like there things, and Family is pretty important. They don't like confrontations; however they can stand there ground when needed. 

 

 

     Compliant are the perfectionists. They are really good at keeping things in order, and usually file everything imaginable. They are also a strong personality trait. Going by the book is really important to the compliant, sometimes to the loss of using common sense.  

 

The reason it's important for me to know these, is that there are certain wants and needs more predominant in each personality, and knowing this can really help in trying to get a confession out of someoone that has done something illegal. There was a lot more in this class than just personality traits. Such as how to tell if somoeone is lying to you, and a lot of body language that people use when they are lying. It was a very interesting class, and I plan on using what I have learned.

Interview and Interrogation class

Interview and Interrogation Class

 

 

Well I started an interview and interrogation class today. It promises to be a really good class, and I believe it will be an excellent tool. We learned all about different personalities today. Basically there are 4 types, and it helps to know what kind of person you’re dealing with Dominant, Influential, Steadfast, and Compliant. It’s pretty interesting to find out what type of person you are compared to others. We break it down to what is important to each type of personality and then interview or interrogate accordingly. I’m pretty excited to learn more about this, and I’m looking forward to the next 4 days.

 

What type of personality do you think you fall under? Well there are tons of tests you can take online. Most of them will give you a pretty accurate description of yourself. I will see if I can find one and post a link here. I just need to find one that I think is worthy of a link. J

Taser Class 2 Vid

TASER CLASS 2

 

Ok the video is finally here. I think you will enjoy it. I had a lot of fun putting it together. I have made a censored version and an uncensored version, because there may be some kids getting to see this. The links for the better quality vids are on the side here, the one playing is low quality. Enjoy!!!

Dog Video

Our department recently got the ok for two dogs. This is going to be a big deal, since we currently have no dogs. Our last dog retired a while back and wasn't being used much the last few years anyway. The two new dogs will be bite and drug dogs. Cpl. Fish has made a video of some of the training they have been doing with the dogs. It's pretty cool. I hope you enjoy the bite footage.

 

Ok slight change here. If you want to see the dog vid, go to Cpl. Fish's Website, the link is on the side here.

Babies Laughing

I saw this today, and couldn't help but laugh. I don't know what it is about babies laughing but when you see four of them laughing together is really makes you smile.

April Fool's

Ok, so it’s a new month. I thought I would reset the counter and see how many visits I get in a month. Sounds like a good idea anyway. So if you visit my site, and read this then be sure to leave a shout out in the comments for me.

 

I’m currently working on the new Taser video, it is almost done. Just needs a few more refining touches, and I need the file lodge to hurry up and fix there server so I can post it on my site. I think everyone in the class has seen the first video and made a conscious effort not to scream out like we did. There are still some funny ones, and of course it still hurts like hell. As soon as I can it will be up.

 

Let’s see on a more family oriented topic, my son had his pinewood derby races this last week. He didn’t win, but he came in 4^th or 5^th out of 22 kids. He was pretty happy about that. His car is looks like a log with a beaver driving. They give out an award to all the kids, and he got ‘The best Log Ride”. I thought it was funny but he wasn’t too impressed with the award. I think he really wanted to win the contest. We had fun, and there are some pictures here to prove it.

 

 

oops guess I can't add the photos just yet, will have to do that later
