Farmington, CT's Bob Osborne comes to his work with an in-depth knowledge of arrest warrants and other police procedures.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">As the name indicates, an <a href="http://criminal.lawyers.com/criminal-law-basics/what-are-arrest-warrants.html" target="_blank">arrest warrant</a> legally permits a police officer to take an individual into custody. It must specify the individual who is subject to the arrest as well as the specific crime that the person has allegedly committed. There must be sufficient concrete evidence to indicate that the named individual has committed that crime.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A police officer must present this information before a judge by way of an affidavit. The officer must voluntarily compose this document and must do so under oath, so as to affirm that the officer believes in the guilt of the named suspect.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Because an arrest warrant names a specific crime, the court may issue multiple warrants for the same subject. Each warrant remains valid until it is fulfilled and the police have taken the suspect into custody.</span>Bob Osbornehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12749572095156781539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306756024189379770.post-83167475843227165872017-01-20T11:16:00.002-08:002017-01-20T11:16:45.305-08:00D.A.R.E.

much of his free time giving back to his community. One of the programs
that Bob Osborne supports in the Farmington, CT, area is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_Abuse_Resistance_Education" target="_blank">D.A.R.E., </a>which
seeks to prevent elementary and middle school students from getting
involved with drugs and other criminal activity.<br /><br />Though D.A.R.E.
primarily focuses its efforts on drugs and violence, the lessons learned
with its Keepin' It REAL curriculum extend into other healthy lifestyle
decisions and give students the tools they need to make good choices
throughout their lives. Based on the Socio-Emotional Learning Theory,
this curriculum helps students by identifying the skills and processes
they need to develop social, emotional, and mental models that they can
continue to use forever. <br /><br />Mutual understanding, communication,
and decision-making are a few of the skills the program highlights. By
encouraging young people to consider the potential consequences of their
actions and control impulses, it equips participants with the ability
to do more than just resist the temptation of drugs and alcohol. The
curriculum includes 10 lessons, which initially focus on decision-making
and then build outward from one another.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Serving as a police officer for the Bristol Police Department, Bob Osborne of Farmington, CT, was named the 2006 Police Officer of the Year. Outside of work, Bob Osborne enjoys staying physically active and loves CrossFit training. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">If you are new to the <a href="http://www.mensfitness.com/training/workout-routines/best-crossfit-workouts-beginners" target="_blank">CrossFit fitness regimen</a>, you might be a little confused and intimidated. These three tips will help you ease into CrossFit and make the most out of it early on. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">1. <b>Form </b>– Before you start to worry about working out with weights, make sure you have proper form down perfectly. Watch others in your gym, and don’t be afraid to ask for pointers and advice. Poor form leads to bad habits that are harder to break once you have gotten into a routine, so work on establishing good form from the beginning. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2. <b>A Good Gym </b>– While you can do CrossFit at home or at your normal gym, consider finding a gym, otherwise known as a “box,” that emphasizes CrossFit. Find a place that has a quality coaching staff to help you while you are learning the ropes. The positive community of like-minded exercisers is an added bonus. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">3. <b>Friendly Competition</b> – Friendly competition is part of the spirit of CrossFit. Many boxes keep track of the weight you lift and repetitions you complete during each class. This score, while making it easier to track your own progress, can also help motivate you to push harder, to keep up with others in your class.</span>Bob Osbornehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12749572095156781539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306756024189379770.post-25529704771756655782016-11-02T12:59:00.000-07:002016-11-02T12:59:18.063-07:00The Nine Foundational Movements of CrossFit <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJeftLGihP-egGyU3b32FReF7YTEXzTiiGYROsJRjCr5qtcv78fRGHE0S0-WBup8q8cBFzlJ0MsS38bEr8t0kVRRdtkwelQuRTj2m2uKb2PUJ9KPwwCM34eRmDG0PteGTRbmbZjowjHjY/s1600/CrossfitWork-950x500.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJeftLGihP-egGyU3b32FReF7YTEXzTiiGYROsJRjCr5qtcv78fRGHE0S0-WBup8q8cBFzlJ0MsS38bEr8t0kVRRdtkwelQuRTj2m2uKb2PUJ9KPwwCM34eRmDG0PteGTRbmbZjowjHjY/s320/CrossfitWork-950x500.png" width="320" /></a><br />

A police officer with 14 years of experience on the Bristol, CT, police
force, Farmington resident Bob Osborne was named the department’s Police
Officer of the Year in 2006. Away from work, Bob Osborne enjoys running
the trails around Farmington, CT, and practicing CrossFit.<br /><br />A
form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT),<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrossFit"> CrossFit</a> workouts are
built around practical motions that borrow from a variety of sports
including gymnastics, running, weightlifting, and rowing. Core strength
and conditioning are the primary goals of this fitness practice, and
participants keep records of their performance to motivate themselves
and develop useful data.<br /><br />CrossFit programs are designed around nine “foundational movements,” which can be divided into three broad categories:<br /><br />1. Squats - The squat-related CrossFit exercises are the air squat, front squat, and overhead squat. <br /><br />2. Presses - The three presses practiced in CrossFit are the shoulder press, push press, and push jerk.<br /><br />3. Lifts - CrossFit athletes regularly practice the weighted deadlift, sumo deadlift high pull, and medicine ball clean.
