Top Issues Facing Responders:
Politics. Everything comes down to politics and not what is right or wrong. Look at the mess our nations communications are in for example. We wil spend Billions of dollars in homeland security money to buy everyone 5 different radios for each member and unit but the FCC (yes the Federal Goverment that we are getting our money from) wont allow us to have dual/tri band radios. Instead they give us APCO 25 and 800 mhz systems that do not work.
I mainly work with Bully breeds but I'll take in any kind of dog. We have 4 Pit Bulls, 2 Bull Terriers, 2 Beagles, an Australian Cattle Dog mix and a Bull Terrier/Border Collie mix. We have cats, too!
