OFFICER MALAVE (as he likes to be called!)




Pedro modeling his new uniform today! As of today Pedro is officially a Ft. Morgan police officer! We spent most of the day up in Ft. Morgan going through his final hiring paperwork. After that we went to pick up the rest of the things he needed for his uniform. There are a million things for their uniforms. Gun belts, things to hold up your belt, taser holster, gun holster, ankle holsters, flash light holsters,radio holster, baton holsters, pepper spray holster...bullet-proof vests, long-sleeve uniform (which you have to wear a tie with), short-sleeve, winter jacket, and finally a stocking cap. He also got one of those police hat's that nobody likes to wear. We also got a holder for his off duty badge.

For his hiring present I got him his flashlight that he wanted (and needed, they do not provide one). It was a very exciting day!

He also got his schedule for working. He starts on Sunday the 22nd of Feb and then has Monday and Tuesday off. He then works Weds and Thurs but has the WHOLE weekend off! The next week it rotates the days off to days on, and days on to days off. Each week it rotates until the middle of March. This is when he will change to a new training officer, but his schedule will always remain similar. They work 4 days a week of 12-hour shifts and then have every other weekend off. His first month is working the 6am to 6pm shift.

We are very excited for his new job!!

Here is another picture in his uniform, we couldn't have Polar in the picture because he was worried about his white hair!
