For the person that asked, and I think it was Clem, Alabama now requires reserve officers to graduate from a police academy, which a retired GW obviously did unless he started about 50 years ago and was grandfathered into APOSTC. They are also fully certified, with full arrest powers. Now just being "deputized is a different matter.

I haven't read the transcript yet so I can't comment on anything except this is the first I have ever heard anyone say bad things about Judge Bozeman. I have never been in her court, nor have I ever met her, so I can only say that I've never heard anything negative about her before (until now). That goes for the GW also.
