Gettin my George Jefferson on...

[emmitt01]

I'm movin on up.

I wanted to wait until this became more official but I'll put it out there now. When you see me out there tailgating Friday August 30th you can come and have a beer with Lieutenant Jackson.

Congrats Lt Jackson. Best of luck in an under appreciated career.

Sadly you've hit the nail on the head.

[Got5onIt]

Congrats! Make sure you harass anyone with UT & SMU license plates.

Sadly you've hit the nail on the head.

But our careers are not based on appreciation...its love for what we do...congrats...

[emmitt01]

Congrats! Make sure you harass anyone with UT & SMU license plates.

My days of harassing folks are long since over. I'll be a watch commander, which means (because I'm in Dallas) I'll have more officers under my command than 85% of the police chiefs in the state of Texas. No time for traffic stops.

[Got5onIt]

Watch Commander, eh?

Don't let your officers do this to you.

I'm just bustin' your chops my friend. Seriously, congrats and we're lucky people like you exist, willing to protect and serve.

Thank you. It's been a stressful past six months with the written test and assessment center...just glad to have it over and anxious to start.

Sweet!

A connection at Dallas PD.

Next time I get caught speeding in Dallas, I'll just say: "You know Lt Jackson right? Tell him I said 'Go Mean Green!'", and drive away with a warning.

[SilverEagle]

CONGRATULATIONS!

This calls for a North Texas (from the 60's) fanfare.

Careful, their response to "I know Lt Jackson" might be more tickets. Haha

You're a curmudgeonly old talon who stirs up a lot of crap around here, but you're OUR curmudgeonly old talon who stirs up a lot of crap around here. Congrats on the move on up. I expect to call you Chief some day.

[Green Crazy]

congrats!

Congrats Emmitt! Just a little tip....I hear TCU football players love them some drugs, so you may want to focus your efforts on/around the TCU campus. If you do that, you will surely get your next promotion within 4-6 months.

In all seriousness, goodluck on the new position.

So does this mean more or less flexibility in your attempts to make every NT sporting event possible?

Congrats.

Please don't make the mistake of so many and forget the ranks from which you came. You are entering a whole new world where many of your peers will pick the politically correct solution, no matter how much it hurts the people that make them look good.

Your life is about to be filled with the ass whipping of manager's meetings where many of your peers will bend numbers to make themselves look good.

Stay strong, my friend.

[KRAM1]

Congrats , LT...Told you at the softball game that it was a "done deal"...and if not at that time it should have been already a done deal! Nicely done, and congratulations!

[Baby Arm!]

^{Do you like this gig?}

Way more. The Lt can "flex" their hours (for the good of the dept of course). ;-).

And Lt's have weekends off.

UNT90...trust me, I know. When is a robbery not a robbery? When it's an assault followed closely by a theft. Ha

[All About UNT]

You know who else was a lieutenant? This guy... Don't be this guy. Congrats on the promotion Emmitt!

[Stix]

Congratulations!

I thought you were going to say you were moving "to the east side" in Apogee, which would NOT be "movin' on up"!

That's pretty great. I wasn't sure...sometimes the higher someone goes in the job, the less free time they seem to have.

[untcampbell]

I got a good feeling about this, LT.

Congrats, my football and softball brother.
