Forensic Psychologist

 

[FLYARMY]

I've heard of forensic accountants and forensic scientist.....what the heck does a forensic psychologist do ?
Never mind. I just asked my brother (retired cop) and he said a forensic psychologist is a professional bullshit artist ! Does it pay well?

 

[morven_frost]

LOL!! I am not complaining.

I mostly research cases assigned to me by law enforcement or the courts, conduct risk-assessment interviews with criminals to assess criminal responsibility or identify potential contributing mental health complications using targeted testing, and finally provide expert, unbiased testimony in court.

Edited for further clarity.

I was a cop for 28+ years. 11 in NYPD /Transit (lots of nutcases in the hole) and then 18 in my hometown Village. Dealt with many subjects who I could identify as "not all there" pretty quickly. I don't know if I could sit there questioning and testing these people without clocking them in the head a few times. That's what most of them needed in their formative years growing up. I was a "wooden spoon survivor" and people say me and my 4 brothers came out alright. LOL !

I am in sales with Sewell Cadillac in Dallas...

Now that is out of the way... I bought my V before I started selling Cadillacs in 2014. I actually bought it from Sewell where I work now. I had a Cadillac CTS 3.6 and when I brought it home, one of my friends asked if it was a CTS-V. Since I had not researched high horsepower cars for my purchase, I did not know what it was.

But then I made a huge mistake... I test drove one! I immediately started saving for a down payment. Steak dinners turned into ramen noodles to save more haha. Then one year later, I got one!

Selling V series models is very different when you own one than just selling a car. Sometimes I am more excited for the customer than they are!

I have made a few changes to mine and I love taking it to 1/8 & 1/4 tracks. I am proud to say I have a consistent 9 second CTS-V! I am sure mine is not the fastest on the forum, but I am very proud! Here is my fastest time slip... right lane

My signature block says this, but I'll resay it now.
Retired fighter pilot - USAF.
Retired technical writer for the FAA.
42-years total service to the US Government.
I also tried writing mystery novels. I have 5 on Amazon but nobody is buying them so I'm not making any money from that!

Do you have a link to your novels? I'd be interested in taking a look for sure!

Writing books AND getting them published and turning a profit is very rare. When I got hired by my local PD, I needed a Sig Sauer 226 and bought a used one (never used to fire a round) and I was told it belonged to one of our recently retired cops who wrote the book "Exit Wounds" and rights were actually bought and turned into a movie. PO John Westerman. He has a few other books that didn't do as well. BUT, he has his police pension !
