I'm sticking my business model in marketing myself as my normal profession as a cop, due the the know trust, morals and implied ethics instilled in us which isn't there with unknown investors. So, I created a decent website , I ordered my business cards, ordered my first batch of 129 yellow letters targeting absentee out of state with 50-100% equity etc, created a Facebook fan page and getting serious "driving for dollars" for future letters. I'm excited that I got the ball rolling, now hoping it rolls and expands. I think I'm off to a good start but additional feedback would be appreciated.

Great job taking action Sean! Just make sure you keep following up with the list you got. No less then 3 times to each lead and maybe even up to 7 times. Keep the ball rolling and don't get discouraged if things start off slow.

I'd be careful!
How would your boss or the major feel, coming across the sign? You always hear about cops or firemen/women losing their job, because they did something that may be perfectly legal, but can create negative feedback for the Dept.
You may not do anything wrong, but I would clear it up with your boss beforehand, as you don't want people to complain to the police. And it'll give an opportunity for someone who doesn't like cops, to create problems for you.
I'm sure you know what you're doing, just thought I'd throw it out there.
