What Do You Know?


Today, I give credit to my friend in the Trenches, Lorraine Prete, for sharing this gem from the IACP Forum.  Go get a piece of paper.  No, really.  Go get a piece of paper.  Got it?  Good.  Look at the paper.  It represents what you know about yourself. Fold it in half; that's what your best friend knows about you.  Fold it in half again; that's what your spouse/significant other knows about you.  Fold it again; that's what people who know you know about you.  Fold it again; that's what you tell your lawyer about yourself.  Fold it again; that's what your lawyer tells the judge.  Fold it one last time; that's the information about you on which the judge makes a decision.  Sobering, isn't it?  Here in the Trenches.
