Life Discussed Over Cuban Coffee.
Featured Posts
My son & I in Key West, Florida.
Welcome,,,
I’m a 64-year-old father who spent 4 years in the Marine Corps, then went on to a successful career in law enforcement. I retired from the Miami Beach Police Department after 25 years of service. I’ve had good luck being able to travel to a few countries.
In this blog, some of the posts will be on police issues and family safety. On the police-related posts, I will do my best not to create a post that reflects my opinion only. To say that my approach to policing is a bit “Old School” is an understatement. The badge in my family goes back three generations. I will post on police issues with the intent to provide facts that most people may not be aware of.
Not always will the topics be of a serious nature involving police or family safety, the other topics are just my opinion and can be discussed over a cup of coffee.
If a post helps someone, then it’s all been worth it. I’m not going to flood this blog with war stories, nor will I focus on crime all the time. I won’t try to impress you, I won’t lie to you, the topics that I will post on, I know well.
Thank you for stopping by,

A harsh testament to the reality of police patrol.

The blog name “See The Man” came from one of my favorite television shows as a child.

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
“The solidity of our soul is not formed in the vastness of the arena, it’s formed in a space that often has room for only one.”
Some of us still remember Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom and National Geographic bringing the wildlife into our living rooms. I remember Jim always got the dirty job, as Marlon cheered him on. Jim was as tough as they come.
