According to Google, Lieutenant John McCurdy has been a distinguished Police Officer for 22 years and a Lieutenant. Nothing to be sneered at to be sure. The point I was making was that this Philadelphia police officer was identifying himself with a standard-issue UCD business card. Fostering the notion that UCD has responsibility for the police powers of a bona fide government agency. His use of these cards, rather than City of Philadelphia identification, is poor judgement on his part -- a distinguished officer though he may be. I seriously doubt that the Police Commissioner will take this lightly. UCD's providing of these cards to him is one more step -- admittedly small, but a step nevertheless -- in that organization's attempts to create a level of authority in the neighborhood between the citizens and their duly constituted government.
