I came upon your forum because I was trying to gather information on the incident that occurred on Fri (OIS).
Let me first introduce myself. I have been in law enforcement for over twenty years. I have worked full time for a law enforcement agency in California for twenty years.
I am a POST certified weapons instructor and for several years a training officer. With this in mind, I would like to inform the group that I was a good friend to individual who committed "Suicide by cop" on Friday.
I worked with Ivan for nearly seven years and can assure he was no Alonzo from "Training Day" the movie. I can assure you he was not on PCP either. He was not a gang member NOR an anarchist. We wore the same uniform, worked and laughed together for years.
I am in no way defending what Ivan did, that was not the Ivan I knew. He left our department in January. He had talked about going to the Arizona Dept. of Safety, I didnt know he was being hired by LV Metro PD .
I dont know what happened to Ivan, when I heard what happened it knocked the wind out of me. This is an emotional time for me, I took the comments I read personal, I realize most of you have no information, so you throw out these comments because you dont know the facts.:banghead:
I know this is not the best way to start off here and for that I am sorry, being the noob. I just had say my peace. I look forward to making posts on your forum. Thanks
