good advice. you need to learn the game first..
there are 3 types of people in this world. only 2 that knows whats going on. cops and criminals. the rest are on there way to the mall or the resteraunt, not knowing what the fuck is going on in the world around them.
I knew plenty of guys in college who wanted to be cops and always told me "I'm doing to be a detective" or "I'm going to be on SWAT". I would always ask them who was going to work patrol for them those 3-10 years before they got into those positions and they looked baffled. KH, don't you wish you could have been a Sgt. as a boot?
I wish Wiggs well. LV is fast paced compared to other areas, the pay is good, cheap housing market (I think he said he lives there) and you can't beat police pensions. Wiggs, look at how much Vegas contributes to the pension, what percentage of your pay you can retire at, etc. There is a lot more than pay to look forward to.
