VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject Author Date 21 and counting Dave Arnold 11:49:28 11/01/02 Fri I was told you have to be 21 to become a peace officer because of federal law restricting handguns to a minimum age of 21. You can be hired at to go to the Academy at 20 though, at least that's what they do here locally.
