___ This will be the first time I'll wear my civilian Omaha Police Dept. uniform since I retired last November.
When I was hurt on the job in the Omaha Public Works Dept I could no longer do the required heavy lifting. I was facing a disability or reduced early retirement. I was extremely lucky to land a uniformed civilian position at the OPD front desk. The dept. let me stay even after I was diagnosed with FTD until I could retire. I was there 2 years and 4 months.
