After 41 years, I will be retiring from a Law Enforcement career at the end of April 2026!!!!  My wife and I are in final negotiations to close on a beautiful home in Fort Smith, Arkansas......from 4 hours to 15 minutes from our first Grandchild,!!!!!!

Thank You, It has been a long and sometimes trying job. What job doesn't, but I have made some incredible friends, been around an amazing group of professionals from all walks of life and would not trade this life experience for anything.  I just wanted to say Thank You for the Support, most of us in this line of work know 95 %  or more of the folks out there respect us, need us and want us out there.  Looking forward to a new chapter, more adventures and hopefully watching our Grand Children grow up and prosper like our Children have done.  See ya down the road !!!!!

I was in Russellville for a while but moved back to N.Y. . Go to a Razorbacks football game, baseball is good.
It gets hot, so take that into consideration. Hot Springs is pretty cool, they have a horse track and a lot of baseball history over near the alligator park. Ozarks aren't far. I enjoyed the time I spent there.

I have In-Laws in Arizona, that state is quite popular with retirees fleeing the snowy northern states.
Desert landscape looks beautiful....for a little while, then once you realize that it looks the same every day of every year, it is not so great. I love the green landscape we get in areas where it actually rains...

Congrats on your retirement.   


It's a big life change.  That always brings some stress even when the changes are good.  It's a time to pick your battles and keep sight of the big picture.

Nobody "said" anything. Everything here was written, not spoken.
The title of the thread is Retirement/Relocation.

Kern Dog,  I attended a class in Arizona once, spent a week there and Arizona is not an option for me....   We were there for a Training Class in June 2012, it was H O T...   Went to get in our car after the class, noticed ALL of the radio and control knobs on our Car had melted and fallen on the floor board... I have seen some beautiful Lanscaping and sunsets.... Nothing against it but again, Ariozona is a NO Thank You !!!

Some parts of AZ have what's described as a "Mediterranean Climate" with winter temps sometimes below freezing but summers that rarely top 90 degrees. Show Low is one, spent some time there...lots fewer snakes there, too.
