Raleigh Police Department Special Operations

Welcome to the Secret World of the CM: Part I
I know what you’re thinking, why does our good and kind CM have so many check-​ins at the Raleigh police department? Does she moonlight as a lucite heel-​wearing street walker? Is she selling Four Loko on the black market?
No my dear Unilocalers. The reason I make so many a visit to our fine Raleigh PD is to get the ABC permits for Elite Events signed off on. In our strict state, the booze laws require us to get special permits for liquor to be dispensed at private parties; a version of these permits requires criminal background checks, money orders, floorplans, venue owner agreements, (everything short of your first-​born really). They also require the signature of the license review technician here.
A+ to Joette for ALWAYS turning around my permit apps speedily — usually in just one day’s time! And they take the time to give me a call to let me know when it’s ready (and to wish me luck with my event!) too.
Though I love the receptionist, I had to dock a star for the really mean dude that was filling in on my last visit. As I struggled with the front door (they have to buzz you in) he hollered out from within «PULL THE DOOR!» in an uncalled for manner (like I actually: was: a lucite heel-​wearing Four Loko hock-​er). At least he did look appropriately sheepish when I tiptoed in to pick up my paperwork.
