Ok, for you folks who want to know how I came to this I'll leave my process down here. Keep in mind Olycop gave quite a few hints, and he and I have been talking for a few days now. He's in law enforcement, I have an interest in it. So basically I'm like the grade-schooler who asks too many questions.

So let's go with what we already knew from the blog:

1. Olycop carries a 1911 clone. This isn't a huge tip for a lot of people. He KNEW I would know though. I'm betting Drew knows also, and Crenshaw obviously knows. To explain, this is a sidearm that many firearms afficianado's (sp?) carry. It's a hard firearm to use well, but if you learn to use it well it's excellent. With that in mind...not many cops carry one. As stated, only 2 in Olympia police carry one, and Commander Nelson is the other.

2. He doesn't like to cuss. This isn't a huge clue but does play towards his character. It didn't help me much.

3. He has a shaved head. This helped with elimination, the photos in the Olympian normally show an officer with hair, except officer Johnstone, but he's too young.

4. 20 years experience. Pretty big, but he's also told me there are a few people that have been with Olympia for quite awhile now.

5. He was one of the officers at the state legislature protest. No help to me.

6. He wears a U.S. flag on his pocket flap.

7. He's not the Chief. Yeah, think that was for fun.

8. We also know he has adult children.

Where I started:

I found this online while looking for an Olympia police roster. Down the page is the link for the 2002 city of olympia employee list.
 Originally I figured that he was probably a Lieutenant. 20 years in the force he would probably want to move up the ladder. I also remember having a conversation with a Lacey police officer who refused to move up the ladder because he loved working on the street. He thought he made more of a difference there. Talking with Olycop he mentioned that he is not a Sgt. Lt. or a commander. So he's an officer. That narrows that list down.
 From there I just googled ( if you don't have stock in google, you should have bought some last week ) every name, and usually added "Olympia" "Police" or both. I ended up with a little bit of information on almost all of the people on the list.
 Even though I had that little bit of information on all of them, it still wasn't enough to pin anyone down. I originally thought it was another officer, who had 20 years of experience. Some of what he typed in this message just sounded like Olycop. So I threw a line out and he answered my little riddle, and pretty much ruled this officer out.
 I had a couple of other little clues, but they didn't add up to a whole lot. I narrowed things down, but couldn't narrow it down past three. The clue that put me over the edge was one that he had given to others, but hadn't given me yet:
"I'm part of the department management, but not part of the administration."

So I'll leave you with that. The last clue, had I gotten it the day after I found that list, would have given him away right off the bat. See what you can do, and I'll post a little more tomorrow.
