I'd take this frigid weather any day over the humidity and heat.

It was literally banned from cops in LA - like the worst gang of them all. They know what it means.

Thin blue line in the background, of course.
Edit: like at this point, I see a thin blue line decal as an overt "fuck you" to anyone who dares to criticize the police. Sure, I understand that he's in a position of leadership and part of that is showing pride in the department he's leading. But there's other ways to do that. Thin blue line is an overtly political statement at this point and signals to the community that he's not receptive to feedback or accountability.

I love the idea of a compassionate man who balls up his fists for a punch every time he talks and is in charge of the enforcement class. Awesome.
Great job Globe, sure needed this pro cop puff piece.

And he had already been there as the deputy too, right? Like, he wasn't an outside hire coming in cold?

They have hired Stefan Pryor as the replacement, though. He already started.

FROM THE STORY: Boxing gloves emblazoned with the Providence Police shield sit on a table behind the new chief.
For all of the awards and achievements over 28 years at the Providence Police Department — a master’s from Boston University, graduating from the FBI National Academy and senior management programs at Boston University and the Harvard Kennedy School, teaching community policing at Roger Williams University and Salve Regina University, serving on the parole board, the board at the Nonviolence Institute, and working on statewide policies — the gloves are a symbol of his grit.
Soon after emigrating from Medellín, Colombia, at age 13, Oscar Perez started going to a boxing gym near his family’s home in South Providence. He couldn’t speak English, but boxing taught him other lessons, like what it takes to remain standing in a fight.
He’s personable and quick to laugh, but even now, at age 52, he instinctively balls up his fists as he talks.

Just be forewarned if you go over the budget fee you will be charged all at once. I got a bill for over $2000 at the end of my “budget” year.

For a person who works in the trades and gets screwed by a bigger company, i could NEVER have afforded the 10k it would have cost me from the company they work for. My panel was rotten. Water leaking from the cracked duck seal at the box, my stove was on half a breaker. Inspection missed it when i got the house and i was running my stove on that.

As a master electrician, I can assure you this isn't a good idea. If you have any problems, a fire, etc.- you have no recourse and can get in serious trouble for unpermitted work. The fees and fines start at 5k.
Not to mention how this undermines legit business. Uninsured and unpermitted work isn't worth the savings.

Pretty sizable amount of Providence looks to be a ton of cash buys.

When i got my panel done, i was never going to hire the company to do the work. Would have been 10k. The only option was to hire the guys i worked alongside during new cons. We knew eachother, not the bosses in their offices.

If it’s minor, just go with the individual. Pay cash though. Be kind.
