Hoildays is a good time to have the new recurits out and active. It proves to be a good learning lesson on how badily traffic can get, it was fun for me getting stuck in snow. Crown vic's and snow don't go together to well, that was fun. Also, with the increase in numbers and campaigns of safety your going to notice a lot more wolf packing. Think, about it and you'll firgure out what it means.

I agree, it's a "baptism by fire". Get to see some of the worst drivers in the worst weather conditions. I'm sure you will hear the full complement of recruits out over the holiday. Last recruit class, Dist. 15 received the most and the time i've been out on the Tollways, they are out there. I'd expect alot of enforcement in and around Dist. 5 and Dist. 2 as alot of recruits are heading that way.

Shhhhh I just bought a new interceptor and I'm a delivery driver. I'm praying snow tires will save me
