So what is the background to your IMFDB user name?

[Jcordell]

I was a detective with my agency for a few years (2003-2006) before I (voluntarily) returned to uniformed patrol.

I primarily investigated Financial Crimes (Fraud, bad checks, embezzlement, forgery ect.). I was the first detective in my agencys 100 (+) year history to be exclusively work fraud cases. Therefore I had to develop a system from the ground up. Very much an OJT (On the Job Training) situation.

The other cooler detectives took to calling me Checkman. Instead of getting pissy I decided to claim it as my own.

I'm 5'6", balding,wear glasses,married for 22 years and a father of two. I am anything, but twisted steel and sex appeal. So instead of a cool name like Cold Steel 45 or Talon 76 I went with Checkman.
