Nathan,
congrats.
I know a fair number of cops from my old job over at the store.

I was trying to get on as a police/911 dispatcher, but haven't heard back from 
the carious departments I applied at (yet). I may have to resubmit my 
applications.

as for linux usage, I still much prefer it to windows. However, if you are 
going to be on patrol, you will find that the MDT's are windows powered 
toughbooks. They do use a telnet like interface on one window for checking 
data via the police mdt system. They may have other data access for other 
info. I wouldn't mind working in the tech support dept for the city or state.

anyway, good luck with the new job.
