LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Dear Reader, The Blue Line website has gotten a facelift. We have done a redesign of the site to organize all of the Featured Departments into the same three groups that you have seen in this newsletter the past few issues. The Law Enforcement listings are shown in blue, Fire Service listings in red, and Civilian listings (which include Dispatchers and other “non-sworn” positions) in green. The site is designed to get you quickly to the job classification or state (on a clickable map of the U.S) that you want to search. Within the next few weeks we will be applying the same design to the “members only” area, where your password will reveal hundreds of listings that are available only to you. If you are not a regular at The Blue Line website you should make it a point to pay it a visit at www.theblueline.com. As a member you have access to a valuable internet resource that delivers a steady stream of public safety career information between monthly issues of The Blue Line newsletter. While you are at the site you should also take a look at the “Police Officer Salary Survey.” The survey is updated monthly and ranks the 200 largest police departments in the U.S. according to police officer compensation. Another feature that has been updated is our college degree program section. If you need to complete your degree we can get you started by pointing you toward some on-line and campus criminal justice degree programs. Check out both at www.theblueline.com. Thanks for your continued support and best wishes, Kevin Woodside Publisher P.S.-If you or someone you know is looking for management or executive police and fire opportunities check out The Brass Key at www.policeexecutive.com or www.fireexecutive.com 2.
