Just a question of interest. Do US Police Forces and Sheriffs Departments employ Civilains in the capacity of 'Auxiliary Police', and what powers, if any, do those 'Auxiliary Police' have'. Are they uniformed? Also being a fan of the 'CSI Miami' and 'CSI Las Vagas' TV programmes, do Forensic Civilian Staff actually have the choice of carry a 'Glock' sidearm when on duty. I have a friend here in Britian whose son is a CSI employed by the LAPD, however he does not carry a weapon when on duty... a personal choice of someone who was born and raised in the UK, but who is now a US Citizen.

Well i've decided i've had enough of the weather, the politics, the woeful attempts to cut bureacracy and pretty much all that goes with it and have decided after a good long think and discussion with the miissus that i am going to look to transfer 'over there'!! Anyone help me with ideas of when recruitment drives will be happening and what the process will be like? Before you all start shouting i know its probably just as bad over there but i have other easons for wanting to go as well so indulge me please. I'm pretty sure i'll have to start again so to speak and be a probationer for 3 years but think i can handle this! Chris.
