Back in the 60's I was a Cincinnati cop I had started with Covington Ky as a dog handler. Cincinnati of course payed better and had a good range program. However those Covington Cops had no restrictions on what they carried (revolver) and they had one heck of a action filled job. Covington and Newport were where the action was. A lot of other things also. but you got a baptism of rough and tumble action and the weapons carried were a primer on what was hot and what was not. I have to admit I enjoyed the place. Money didn't even come close to Cincinnati then. But diffidently more fun. When my dog got hip displeasure I was looking and Cincinnati was looking for shooters. I guess those area's have become civilized but damn for a guy just out of the Marines it was one heck of a place to start.
