SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION ___________________________________________________________ THE BLUE LINE: Police Opportunity Monitor Newsletter: No. 108: December 2002-January 2003 ___________________________________________________________ 1. LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Dear Reader, This issue marks the transition into the 10th year that The Blue Line has been in print. The first issue was mailed to 75 subscribers in September 1993. That first issue was nothing more than a single page list of department names, phone numbers and expiration dates. Thanks to you we have come a long way since then. The steady growth and increasing number of job listings in each issue has brought us to another transition. This month we have over 200 entry level positions listed and another 50+ management and executive level listings, more listings than we can fit in one issue. To handle the growth and continue to meet your needs we are launching a second publication this month. “The Brass Key” will feature all of the management and executive level opportunities and allow The Blue Line to focus its original mission, to provide you comprehensive entry level and lateral entry opportunities. This will allow us to fill all of the pages of The Blue Line with the specific information you need to get your career started. To make this transition as smooth as possible you are entitled to a subscription to both publications at no additional charge for the duration of your current subscription to The Blue Line. To receive “The Brass Key” all you need to do is send me an e-mail to kevin@theblueline.com, identify yourself as a Blue Line subscriber, and tell me what e-mail address you would like me to send your subscription to. An e-mail address is required since the newsletter will be sent electronically every few weeks. At the end of your current subscription you can subscribe to The Brass Key for $9.99 per month which will include continued access to The Blue Line 24/Seven. You will still have a convenient way to access to all of the available information. From civilian positions to entry level sworn positions all the way up to the top executive positions, it will all be available to you with a single subscription. Thank you and stay safe, Kevin Woodside PS-There are still a few scale model police cars available from the Gurnee Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association. It is a detailed replica of the Gurnee Police Canine Officer's squad car and there were only 500 made. A numbered limited edition of this collector's item will make a great stocking stuffer. 2.
