Messaging over Practicality

 

After two years, and despite the building being vandalized the night before, the city is taking down the fire-retardant coated plywood protecting the precinct. Despite the grim reality of the city, the mayor thinks it is a bad look. The commander admits 4-5 windows will be broken per year. We starting a pool, betting on when the first window will break.

Transitioning Roles

 

Today, was Potter’s last day on the shift. He’s earned an investigation position in the department.

Ruminating on the job, he said, “It’s been a huge career goal of mine. I’m nervous, but I’ve worked hard to be prepared. I’ve done countless hours of training and reading on my own time in addition to what I’ve done when I was up there.

I’ve got to say it was sad today. I can’t really say I’m a “cop” anymore… yes I’m a police officer but a “cop” is a much more noble and badass title. My hat is off to you guys who do an entire career of being a “cop”, it’s the hardest and least respected job not only in our agency but in the country, if not world. You guys are badass.

That’s what I wanted to say in roll call, but there were only a few of you guys in there who would get it. I already told Hands and I don’t think Midnight Man cares lol…"

4 for 4

 

Last night, I responded to four Fentanyl ODs. I used three 4 MLs of Narcan on the second. Fire refused to respond to number four. Due to Narcan issued on the street, no one died.
