  George, sorry I don’t. I was only on the job from 1982 -1984. 3rd Pct., Squad 12. I had already graduated from law school and after rolling around with crooks, one shootout and one brutality suit (Pagans) the wife decided I was having too much fun – which I was. So I took an offer as a Suffolk ADA, ended up an AUSA in Vegas.
