My Last Day as a State Trooper! VERY EMOTIONAL DAY! 

First off Congratulations guys!!!......I worked with you for 13 years, as I retired from OHP last year. You and I have had several conversations about this decision and man I have to say...I'm 100% behind you, you guys won't regret it a bit. I'm telling you it will be a week or 2 down the road and you will realize a ton of stress has dropped away, that you never knew was there and that your worries in life can now be focused on those which matter to you the most. Don't listen to any nay sayers, send them my way, I can tell them you served this great state with dignity and pride....and it is a early retirement! Let DPS call it what it wants, you don't send retirement checks to someone who quits a job. You simply didn't stay in as long as they may have liked. You simply stayed for the amount of time was right for you and your family. Removing stress from your family, including your children, they understand more than most people give them credit for, is as big as a gift as you can give them. You can now be present!!!....You guys stay safe, this is a great move that you won't regret.....great video!

Dan we will miss you here at the post, don't be a stranger. god bless my friend.

I know you probably wont see this but Im typing it anyway. It is crazy that I happened across this video tonight. I recently stepped away from Law Enforcement myself after 15 years. It was a tough decision but I also knew it was my time to leave. I miss being a cop but I dont miss being a cop. I know some wont understand that but I am sure that you do. I recently found your channel and am so glad I did. Good luck to you, brother!

My brother Daniel... Thank you Sir, for your service as a Oklahoma State Trooper. Thank you for being a beautiful representative of Law enforcement in the USA. When our very police department’s are under such fire, and being disrespected like never before. Know from our hearts to yours, we appreciate and pray for all law enforcement, Military agencies across the land! Thank you for your Godly representation in all you do! He who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1 🙏🏻📖♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏

You know when you're listening to a real person's story? When he wipes the sweat from his eyes with a Christmas towel in July.

My husband retired from the Ohio State Hwy Patrol several years ago. I’m so glad he’s not out there in this day and age! And, I’m glad to hear that you no longer are either! Lawless abounds just as we’re told in the Bible. Blessing to you and your family 🙏🙌🥰

From a Vietnam Vet. Thank you for your service and your families sacrifice. You are a true hero just showing up every day

My father was a police officer for 30 years, I can't explian the relief it was to us when he retired. I hope you and your family have many many years to enjoy your new adventue. God bless.

I’m so happy for your family. Your wife looks so happy and relieved. You look happy yourself😊. I’m a widow of a dead officer and I worked in the trauma center for 20 plus years. After all that I left my job for our daughter. Life is much different but it had to be done. I’m proud of you Arms Family❤️

I will tell you what my father told me years ago: To risk nothing is to have nothing. To move forward is your future to look back is your past. To the entire Arms family, many blessings to come your way that I am sure of.

God picked a great time for you two to get out of law enforcement. I have all the respect in the world for the ones that can get out and do what you did, every day. I am happy for your decision. You survived the pandemic BS . God bless!

Mom and Dad saved your wife's day I appreciate the both of you sharing that with us I'm just so thrilled and so honored to know there are people out there that think and do what I do be blessed continue in what you're doing

I get it man! 14 years of chasing taillights is long enough and like you I was a LEO. Worked drugs 15 years literally called my quadrant command from a pay phone on the interstate and said I couldn't work the street anymore. Zero regrets for leaving lots of regrets for waiting so long to do it. You're a very talented honest guy and your channel is awesome! My wife and I watch everyone of them! We really like your family and the way you go about life. Thanks for being so open and sharing your time and family with us.

Raise your children, kiss your wife, and enjoy life. Your family needs you healthy. I wish you only the best.

Bless poor DJ’s heart I bet she had many a sleepless nights waiting on you to come home. Prayers for your family on this next phase.

I left the Police Dept in 2004. The fear I felt without the income went away. Now I am peaceful, happy and content with no stress. I tell God everyday how grateful I am. Congratulations!

Ive been a Police Officer in a Capital City for the last 13 years and I along with thousands of other Police Officers across the country feel the same way as you and are looking for our way out from a profession that we love. However times are changing and its time to move onto something else. Let it be know that nobody despises a bad cop as much as a good one. May God bless your path and enjoy those times that were missed for years.

From a Prince George's County Police officer, Good luck and God's speed.

I feel ya brother, I just retired (24) of Military Service.👍 God Bless you and your Family. Thank you for your Service! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I remember,when my Father retired from the Army Corp of Engineers,he cried,he had so many buddies,and memories,helped build and test the Florida Space Shuttle,he was Geologist Soil and Engineer.Army 82nd Airborne Paratrooper,so My Mom and Dad cried,but! He continued with inviting some of his buddies for cook outs and Dinners.Yes,Dad decided to travel with his buddies to Alaska.But to be honest it changed my Dad.He bought some Beagles,we stayed in touch with our families,we had fun.We had to adapt.But All of that combined was in his heart and Soul.But now my sweet Mom and Dad are Gone,and it tears at my heart,because now! I Realize just how much I do Love them.😊❤

I took a early retirement from a state job at 48 years old. Everyone thought I was Crazy.. lots of unknowns. I worked ebay and flipping houses. that was 18 years ago best thing I ever did never looked back ..............Wake up everyday and do what I want to do............. dont look back go forward.................

Mr Daniel Arms, I'd like to take this opportunity sir to formally thank you for your service. It's extremely dangerous to be in Law Enforcement these days as everyone knows. Well, when God has the wheel it's hard to ignore. May our Lord continue to bless and keep you safe, as well as the family. We love y'all.

LOVE this story. You guys are going to be so blessed for keeping God first and being faithful to his calling.

Hope you’re enjoying the next chapter of your life. Thank you for your service. God Bless you and your family.

When my husband retired it was a day of mixed emotions. He had been an officer his entire adult life, and didn’t know what he would do after the Badge. He found he had lots of interest outside of the force. God bless you. I am glad for you, especially in today’s times.

My Dad said “You’re dead for a long time”. What he meant was do what you want when you can and enjoy your life NOW!!!! God has other things planned for you.

I just started following you a couple weeks ago and I feel like I found you for a reason. Enjoy your family and your new career.

this was my very first meeting of the Arms family..... as the son of a retired Federal Law Enforcement Officer ........ I know the things that you've seen..... I know the sleepless nights not knowing ( my dad was before cell phones and stuff) Just know that I appreciate what you have done for the past 14 years.... and now 2 years later I love your channel ... love your family ......... yesterday is history.... tomorrow is a mystery... today is a gift and that is why we call it a present...... best of luck in the future........

It's your life who cares what everyone else thinks. Congratulations and thank u for your service and I wish you luck.

As a Peace Officer who left Law Enforcement 26 years ago for similar reasons, I totally understand and applaud your decision. May GOD continue to bless you and your family! Semper Fi 🇺🇸

Lord, thank you for keeping him safe all these years and God bless him and his family in abundance...In the name of Jesus I pray Amen !

Thank you for your service and protecting all of us here in Oklahoma Sir!

In 2017 on a road trip back from Washington state you pulled me over. I was feeling my music to much and was speeding. My boyfriend's niece was sleeping in the back and had slipped the shoulder strap of to get more comfortable. From the start you were so respectful and made me feel at ease. I was fully expecting a ticket for speeding but to my surprise you gave me a warning for my speed. I happily excepted the seatbelts violation. I now drive with cruise control engaged on long road trips. Enjoy your retirement from the OK state highway patrol.

I was a sheriff deputy in love county, Oklahoma. In the early 90’s . I don’t blame you brother. You made the right choice. God bless you and yours from this goat raising family from Durant Oklahoma

I was in law enforcement for several years and I totally understand why you got out. The security of the job is also a big deterrent to leave but I believe you made the right decision. I believe God wants you to do what you are doing. May God Bless you and DeJay and your family! Keep the videos coming!

Congratulations sir on your retirement!! Thank you for having diligently served the people of Oklahoma for 14 years!! Thank you as well for your service!! God bless you as you follow where He is leading you!! :) Blessings

Congratulations on your “early retirement”. So well deserved after all your years of service whether it’s 14 or 25. you still offered your life to the people of Oklahoma every day you worked. And your family served every day , Thinking you may or may not get home. I am sure many other honest and fair law enforcement officers will resigned in the coming months Do you to all of the chaos in this country. Wish you much success as a full time RU-vid and I will continue to watch everyone, and like. Thank you for sharing your wholesome family and farm with us. God bless you all

Daniel, as an Oklahoman, I want to thank you for your years of service to our great state. Congratulations on your retirement, and I wish you and your family the very best in the future. There is a good reason your channel has grown the way it has. You are very talented in the way you present yourself in front of the camera with your down to earth charm and humor, and your wife and kids are great on camera as well. God bless you and your sweet family! 💓🙏💓

I am a microbiologist and been working for the same company for 17 years. I am 45 and am seriously considering retiring in 5 years, walking away with my pension and leaving my 401k alone until I’m 65. Hats of to you, I was a officer for 2 years many years ago, not my cup of tea.

Congratulations on your decision. Glad I found this channel recently. I’ve been in Law Enforcement now for just over 17 1/2 years and am a patrol supervisor for a county Sheriff’s Office in Virginia. I’m starting to think about our next move as well.

Dan I’ve never message you on here, but I need to say, first thank you for your service, second, I truly believe that you have listened to that sweet Holy Spirit and you have obeyed. Love to you and your precious family son. Be blessed in all that you do. Will love to continue watching your adventures and your precious family. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Well you’ve broke my heart. I’ve had two dealings in my life with okla. highway patrol. The most respectful and professional police officers I’ve ever dealt with. You my friend I have nothing but RESPECT for. Even now that you are one of us again ..lol. Take care Daniel and keep on keeping that beautiful family of yours safe. I know your going to do well in your future endeavors. Looking forward to hanging with the ARMS family for the years to come. Love the shows , and love GOD, I know he has a great plan for you. Always and always follow what the good lord puts in front of you , no matter what .

Thank you for being obedient and not hiding your faith! Your family has inspired us and has given our family something wholesome to watch!

Congratulations on your early retirement and a huge heart felt, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, all be it from Idaho! :) This world needs more godly men...families like yours. I to am excited about what God has in store for you. Being in a place where you are following the leading of the Lord. It takes all the pressure off of us and the risk out of decisions when you are allowing God to guide and direct your lives. Praise God! I am glad that even though we have never met, that we are brothers and sisters in Christ! Blessing to you guys!

After almost 15 years as a Federal Leo I have done the same. Best choice I made with everything going on. Good luck to you and the family. 😃

Congrats! No judgements here. Keep living your best life. You’re having a ton of impact with this channel.

Your emotions were so raw and natural! I just could not hold back the tears. God Bless you both and your family! Continued success!

Congrat!!! to you both! You have some very great moments ahead of you. There is nothing as rewarding as fully trusting in the Lord in all you do.

When the Lord opens a door it is always blessed. Prayers as you walk thru and receive the blessings God has for you.

Daniel in today's uncertain times I believe you have made a good decision. When I retired from the military after 20 years I said I would always miss my military friends and family. Stay tough Daniel. Give D.J. our best. Enjoy. Jack and Cyndi Brooks.

Congratulations! God is amazing! He will carry you through this transition. God bless you!

Congratulations on your retirement trooper and thank you and your family for your service to our wonderful state. We were blessed by your dedication and caring. God bless you and yours!

We just attended services for NV trooper on Wednesday, my wife had gone to school with him. He was 2 years from retirement. That's really the only conversations heard was how long everyone had to retirement. I think it was a wise decision you and your family made. Have watched you for years and will watch you for years to come. Keep up the great work.

You’re one of the good ones. I’m so sorry that you and all the other good ones out there are judged by your uniform, - like others are for their skin color, instead of what runs through you veins and your heart

I am so very proud of both of you, Daniel and DJ. God Bless You and be with you constantly !!!!

Congrats to you both... I live in Alabama & I want to thank you for your service in helping to keep our roads safe. God will continue to Bless you in all you do. Again, thank you ... Linda

I just wanted to say thank you for your service to your state and our country. I pray we never forget the good in police!

Was a nurse for 36 years and I missed so much of my children’s life. Congratulations on your retirement Enjoy your family and God bless

My youngest ( 8 yr old Joshua) and I came across your channel about a month ago. Love the content. Clean. Fun. Most importantly love the Jesus shirts. Thankyou for serving as a trooper and God be praised you're safe and sound.

I wish I could've eased any fears y'all had by knowing & seeing y'all now! Being a patrol police officer is one of the most dangerous, jobs not to mention mentally & physically draining. Even though I'm not anywhere near Oklahoma, thank you for your service.

Well that blows my plan of speeding through Oklahoma so I could actually meet you in person....

I’m so glad you followed God’s calling. You have been in my prayers recently because of current events. Be blessed!

You are a family that deserves loads of respect! Love your decisions

Congratulations to you and your family!! I myself retired this past March 19 from General Motors after almost 42 years. I’m so Thankful to the Lord for this new path in my life. Blessings to you and your family!! Debby

I can't blame you. Stay safe for your family.

I can understand exactly how you feel. I left the Sheriff's Office in Florida in 2012, after 26 years as a deputy sheriff. Four years before that I was a reserved deputy working part time, so I was a sworn deputy for 30 years. You are exactly right, that you know when it's time to go. I was planning on working another couple of years, but God said, it's time to leave there. Best decision I ever made. Especially with the things the way are today. I appreciate your wife so much for supporting you. It's not easy having a spouse on the job. I know I couldn't have done it without my wife. The weird feeling will go away, I promise. God Bless your family and I look forward to watching many of your videos.

Congratulations on your family's new chapter. I'm excited to see where you guys go💞

I just found your channel and love it. First do what is best for you and your family Daniel . It's so nice to watch your video and all you do with your family . You have a wonderful wife . I love that she has such a big heart for all her animals. I wish you all the best in life. Hugs from Canada to all of you .

I left it over 20 years ago and have never looked back. It was a part of my life and there is no question, the experience has changed us. Follow the lord and he will open many new doors for you.

Oh man, the first few minutes...I was sitting here saying "I FELT THAT EXACT THING" 2 years ago I walked away from 20 years in the fire service. But life threw a couple curve balls and I decided to swing at them and walk away. By far the toughest, craziest, scariest decision I ever made. I miss it but I dont regret it at all. Good luck to you and your family!!!

I decided to go back on your videos and see this video. I had never seen it before. Congratulations you two!!!! I am so glad you two are listening to God and are obedient! I am glad that he pulled you guys out of that job … especially in the times we are in. Your such a neat family. I just love you guys. It’s really neat that you have this new adventure that God will lead you through. Again Congratulations and enjoy all you have . We’ll be watching. Blessings from the Oklahoma City Grandmother. Praying for y’all.❤

Dan and DJ thank you for your service. and thank you for sharing your love of Christ. We (my wife & I) love your channel. God bless you both.

WAY TO GO!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR THE 2 OF BUT MOSTLY FOR DJ .. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HER RELIEF TO NEVER HAVE TO WONDER IF YOU ARE COMING HOME.

When you are in covenant with our creator and listen to His direction, whatever ‘job’ He places before you, you walk in it and He is the one who provides. Even if the internet goes away you can be confident of His provision when you walk with Him. Thank you both for your faith and service

Wow! I’ve been watching this channel as I just moved to the county and began building our farm. This video blew me away. I’m a deputy in Texas and the high respect I already had for you just went even higher. I knew there was a reason I connected with your channel right away lol. Good stuff!

Congratulations on the Choices that You made as Family! Prayers for all good things! 💗🙏💗🎉

Congratulations! My husband is in LE and with the way the world is going I wish he could retire. He only has 10 yrs in So don't see that happening. I know exactly how DJ feels since I'm a wife of a LE Officer. All the missed holidays the kids didn't have with dad, missed family gatherings,nights not knowing what's going on when he's supposed to be home at 8pm and you don't hear from him until 2am the next morning because of working a case and he couldn't call home. DJ, he's home now. Thank you for all your service. God bless you all.

Having been a security officer, I suspected this move when you grew the beard. I have never known anyone in any form of law enforcement grow a beard on vacation. It is horrible to remove when they go back.... That being said I wish you all the best of luck and God willing all will be well. I LOVE your videos and the real transperency you show that gives us your real lives. Daniel, DJ, Houston and all of you are constantly in my prayers and my heart. No lake or ocean front here but you are welcome to come visit and camp in our yard anytime you want to visit Northern Colorado.

I took early retirement from law enforcement at 16 years, so I feel your pain and relief. I know you guys have come a long way since this video was made, congratulations.

So glad I got to see this video. Thank you for your openness about your life, trusting the Lord, and being so truthful. God bless you all❤🙏

"Faith" ur stepping out on faith. No one should say ur crazy, they should say ur a Godly man. A beautiful Godly couple ♥️

I worked as an RN, in Acute Care Hospitals, for 48 years! When the time came for me to walk away, it was bitter-sweet! I miss patient-care, but NOT the politics of the hospital management! I know how you feel! GOD BLESS you!

Congrats on your new life and your previous service to the state of Oklahoma. Anxious to see your future endeavors !

Congratulations brother! I've been an officer at Bartlesville PD for 16 years. Wish I could do what you are doing....

I know when the Lord puts a calling on your heart there no getting out of it .when God talks to your heart one must listen .Bless your soul both of you .i’ll be praying for you..Be Happy

We’re rejoicing with you and your family. Our son is a LEO, and we’re on our knees everyday for him and fellow officers. May the Lord bless your obedience. Many,many blessings!

God has given you such Grace and Dignity! I'm so glad that you are now a stay at farm Dad. God has Blessed us with such a wonderful example of living your best life! Prayers for continued health and safety!🙏❤🙏A lot of things have happened in the last 2 years, not all of it good, but we're so glad that you're real with us. Thank you for bringing the light into this world, especially in these dark times! Thank you for your service!❤🏆❤

This was the first video I saw of Arms Family Homestead. Since then it has become one of the highlights of my day to see what you have going on in your life. As a common person, who has nothing for respect for law enforcement, I understand your reasons for listening to God and going through the door he opened for you. My husband was a volunteer firefighter for 20 years in our small town of 1500. As a result of that I also became involved in voluteering for the fire department and for 5 years on the ambulance service. I saw way too much in that 20 years and also had 3 children going through their teenage years in that time span. Every time the pager went off for a car accident and they weren't home my heart dropped for fear of what we might find as we responded. But at the same time, the feeling of helping our small town was such a good feeling for both of us. As you move forward may God continue to bless your family and thank you for the service to your country. God Speed.

Daniel, I can’t begin to thank you for being a man of God and listening to Him. I can’t imagine how many people God talked to in this video through. This video was truly a blessing. To see you and listen to you and your wife has spoke to my heart. It’s a blessing to see someone whose no ashamed to talk about God. Thank you for all you do and I know God’s hand will be upon you and your family. God bless

When one door closes another one opens. Things happen for a reason. God put a plan in your heart. God bless you and your family your all are a blessing to watch. Alway believe things will be better. You have God on your side.

It's your business and congratulations. So now you and your wife and kids start a another chapter in you're lives. God's blessings on your family.

Congratulations to you and your family! Thank God he kept you safe all those years you served the people of Oklahoma. My son’s and I love your video’s and will continue to support your endeavors. God bless and keep at it!

Congratulations to you both and Best wishes for your future !! I live in Louisiana and have 2 sons both in Law Enforcement for 15 years. I understand your situation and the times we live in now. Most people don't understand that. Both my sons have been ambushed where there 2 partners and 1 cousin were killed. My sons were spared but Their lives have been changed. We have been watching your Channel for some time and love it. Keep it up and keep it real. Thank you for your service and again Best Wishes to you and your family. Life your life to the fullest. God Bless !!!

Daniel I know the feelings that you and your wife are having. After 15 years as Deputy I too took an early retirement. At the time it was one of the hardest decision that I had ever made. All my life growing up there was nothing more important to me than to become a Peace Officer. My career began in the very ‘80’s and ran through the mid ‘90’s. After seeing things that you and I have seem, it taking a toll on you and your family. My wife and I talked for months about me taking an early retirement. My son was a year old and my daughter 3. And I wanted to be there for them. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. Stay safe, stay healthy and keep your powder dry 👍👍😎👍👍

Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing. Gods takes care of us if we let him. I know he has blessed me in so many ways in my life. It took me a while to see it. I thank him everyday for what he has done and does for me.

Glad to see this video. You look younger now, that when you were working. I fell a strong admiration for you and your beautiful family.
