John Fisher:  

Life My Spouse We worked for the same company. My Pets None at the moment My Job I work for the Suffolk County (N.Y.) Police Department. The ninth largest police department in the country, as an electrician/electrical technician. I helped maintain the departments radio communications system, remote tower site buildings, emergency power sytems and controls. Our police district covers 954 sq miles with over 2000 members protecting over 1 million residents daily. I have over 20 years service and I'm looking forward to retiring soon. I've survived two life threatning illness's, for this I am very grateful ! UPDATE:.....In June of 2010 I retired from the Suffolk County Police Department after 25 years total service. This completes my 47 year working career and although many dream of retirement it's a major life changing decision. Gone is the all important pay check, the commraderie of work mates, the feeling of accomplishment and belonging to group of problem solving people on a daily basis. On the bright side, I no longer rise at 5:30 am Monday through Friday, commute 30 miles to police headquarters on the now treacherous Long Island Expressway, and then drive an average of 125 miles a day visiting different work sites in Suffolk County. My back and knees no longer ache as much as they did when working and I am no longer exposed to arrestee's and the diseases they may carry. I have no plans to leave Huntington, I am a New Yorker, I hate the heat, and Hurricanes are bad for you. In the mean time I am doing much needed work on my 90 year old house, and enjoying my hobby's. In the Summer fishing on Long Island Sound with my brother in law. High School seems like dream, after all it was over 50 years ago ! Regards...
