A question for those of you with sheriff’s badges: which

are you proudest of?

<strike>How about suspected arrests that could not be confirmed?</strike>
ETA: Okay, unconfirmed arrests are meaningless. But the question above stands.

They can't be confirmed, so there you have to swallow, take a deep breath and go one like nothing happened. In the end we all have arrests or were part of one, by reporting bank accounts, collecting data and just warning victims that will warn local LEO's, but sometimes(most of the time) there's no thank you for you, though, but knowing you did the right thing must be worth something Wink

Fortunately, that remark is totally untrue.

I have been directly involved and worked very closely with the police in the case of each of the arrests for which I display a shield.
One case involved a previous victim who turned scammer and defrauded a number of people out of 3.5 million US$.
Because I was directly involved in the arrest, and known by my real identity, I chose to only give a very few trusted people all of the details.

I, and many others, have been involved indirectly in many arrests and convictions either working alone or as part of a team providing evidence to law enforcement authorities in many countries.

No shield is awarded without confirmation and is one of the few that isn't on an honor system.

I was very lucky on mine. It was a lad I had sent on safari. I told him to fake his passport. Well, he did. He got detained in Kenya. For a month and half I believe. It wasn't really my doing, other than my persuasion. But, while he was gone, he lost his house because the person he let stay there quit making payments for him. A double whammy!

Best arrest?

If the end result is a lad behind bars, then they are all tied for first.

I was extremely lucky in having another baiter who had some established Lads who actually went to the police and got them to write a letter confirming the arrests. They were the ones who had my Lad and his pals arrested.

It was an amazing fluke and only because another baiter was able to use his mystic skills on his Lads. Shorty is an amazing Lad who did things for which badges haven't been designed yet. However, I think he isn't as much fun nowadays.

If I hadn't received confirmation in the form of a letter from the Nigerian police provided by Pastor Frank (to whom I owe a debt of gratitude) I would never have believed half of what Shorty told me.
