<< I have to go with Ren on this one. I grew up in a law enforcement family
and dh is in the fire department so we most always have the scanner on. The
"busy" times for law enforcement and emergency services is from 3 to 6 in
the afternoon (after school is out and before parents get home from work)
and about 8 to 10 (Dad has had time to tie one on and light into Mom). I
also think it is very important to remember that if you take out the violent
crimes committed within families and between two criminals, the statistics
go WAY down. >>

It's good to hear from someone "inside"....
I do talk to cops frequently as Dillards employs them as security. I know
several of the local police officers and hear their day to day stories (they
love relaying them ad nauseum) never noticed that there is more going on
after midnight, quite the contrary.

Did anyone see David Letterman the other night? There was one of our local
officers doing one of the games they play on the show. He got the "name your
meat" category, it was funny.....I work with a couple of his buddies.
