SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION ___________________________________________________________ THE BLUE LINE: Police Opportunity Monitor Newsletter: No. 116: September 2003 ___________________________________________________________ 1. LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Dear Reader, The U.S. jobless rate climbed to a 9-year high last month and economists are now predicting that it may be awhile before we can expect an upturn in the economy. The number of unemployed Americans is estimated at almost 10 million. What does all this mean for you? If the economy and the job market stay tough more and more people will be seeking the security offered by a career in law enforcement. That makes for more competition resulting in police jobs becoming tougher to get. As a subscriber to The Blue Line you are already in a class of highly motivated job seekers, since you have taken the step to improve your odds by arming yourself with the information inside these humble pages. Knowing where all the opportunities are gives you a great edge, but what more can you do? Improving your resume is always the best way to separate yourself from the crowd, and adding college coursework or finishing your degree is one easy way to do just that. You will notice on page 19 and 23 of this issue advertisements for two college programs. Pioneer Pacific College in Oregon, and The University of Phoenix, which is one of the fastest growing on-line degree programs in the country. If you are reading this as a .pdf document on-line, you will find these include “clickable” links to take you right to the source of additional information. If you are reading the print version don't despair, just pay us a visit at www.theblueline.com and all of the links can be easily located there. As always, please let me know what you think. I only want to include the highest quality advertisers and your feedback, good or bad, is critical in assessing them. Thank you for your continued support of The Blue Line.
