Unfortunately this is something that all people interested in UFOs have to put up with. Not just when it comes to potential job promotions but in every day life as well. It has probably been like that for centuries. People are always ridiculed and discriminated against just because they dare to ask questions and think outside the accepted boundaries of mainstream belief. It's a shame it has to be that way. Bob seems like a good man...the sheriff who turned down his promotion is an idiot.

It's not right, it's not fair but sometimes we just have to adapt in order to provide for ourselves or family. Are his beliefs more important than the job? There will always be those who think people interested in UFO's are 'wack jobs' and part of that is because some of the people interested in UFO's act like wack jobs...and darn it, you all know the types that make it hard for serious interest. 'Dude, I'm in contact with reptoid aliens on a space ship in orbit around earth' is likely to get the undesired variety of attention. Most people can accept..'wow I saw this amazing light show the other night and I have no idea what it was.' As opposed to wow I saw a UFO. It might get us all excited but it might strike fear in others.

I suppose someone should have shown that Sheriff the Fire fighter's Guide for Disaster Control Manual - 'Chapter 13: Enemy attack and UFO potential'. But you can't buck prejudice sometimes, it has to die one funeral at a time sometimes. I did some research, and it turns out Bob Dean did win in his suit against the Pima County (Tuscon) Sheriff's Department Still...best to keep a low profile on that subject at work. I never bring up the topic. I wonder in his discrimination suit if Dean's attorney used the Firefighter manual as supporting evidence? Most who scoff at others with such beliefs always make one fundamental mistake. People do not seek out and find the phenomenon, the phenomenon usually always finds you.... Doing a search...found something on Bob Dean. www.brainhelp.co.uk/EmotionalReflections.html"Dean is also notable for having successfully sued his employer under anti-discrimination laws on the ground that they were treating him unfairly because of his belief in UFOs. "ufoexperiences.blogspot.com/2007/04/my-friend-ted-loman-by-jim-nichols.html"Another major UFO related story broke at that time, right in UFOAZ's hometown-Tucson. A job discrimination lawsuit against the Pima County Sheriff's Department made national headlines. Robert O. Dean was a retired Command Sergeant Major with the U.S. Army, who had given an additional fifteen years of service to the Sheriff's Department division of Emergency Management Services. Bob was denied a promotion to director of that division because of his background in UFO investigation. This civil rights violation precipitated a legal confrontation, which Mr. Dean won. At that point Bob made the decision-in violation of his national security oath--to publicly disclose classified information about UFOs to which he had access while on assignment to NATO.
During the mid-sixties, Bob Dean worked as an intelligence analyst for the NATO command headquarters in Paris, where he was shown a Top Secret report titled, 'An Assessment'-which revealed UFOs were serious business and that Earth was indeed being visited regularly by more than one group of extra-terrestrials. Up to that point Bob had been a no-nonsense combat veteran and dutiful career soldier, but reading the startling contents of this report, radically changed his life. From that point he became an avid UFO researcher, and in 1991 he decided the public had a right to know the truth behind the saucer enigma."With Deans 'Cosmic' security clearance no less, this would give anyone reading such documents reason to change one's path and outlook.
