My trip to Missouri

A few weeks ago I took a trip to Missouri and spent a day with Lt. Dick Snider (ret) and his lovely wife, Judy.

Dick was the originator of The Border Crime Task Force. He was the founder. If it wasn't for him the project never would of existed.

I spent the day interviewing him for the documentary. He is a great man and very brave. The stories he told me are incredible. His contributions to the history of law enforcement is just amazing.

Can't wait to see how his final interview comes out in the documentary.

Sheriff Kolender Retirement Party

Last night I had the privilege of attending a retirement party for the Sheriff of San Diego, Bill Kolender. He retires later this month. In 1976 Mr. Kolender was the Chief of Police of San Diego and he was the one who approved The Border Crime Task Force.

The majority of the task force members were present. It was great to see all the guys together in one location. The next time they all get together like this again will be at the movie premier for the documentary. Mark my words : )
