It irks me that parents these days take such little responsibility in raising their children.

I get a call day before last of an assault. Mom is standing in the middle of the street, and refers to me as "baby" when I get out and ask what was going on. I reminded her that "officer" was a perfectly good and proper ( Read more... )

One of my drunks that I arrested managed to make it home safely, but with some obstacles he overcame to make it in his house.

He drove across 5 neighbors lawns, clipped an Explorer in a driveway (making it do a near 180), clipped the corner of someones house, then came to rest INSIDE someone elses house.

This ( Read more... )

As some of you know, coplife.net started on Livejournal and Blogger as a typical blog, however I expanded it to its own website with some goals in mind.    My original vision was to have the blog be the main thing I am doing with it, but also to give ( Read more... )

Yesterday one of our supervisors stops a truck with a guy and a lady in it.  The lady is one of my career prostitutes.  I always ask the girls what do they have on them that they shouldnt, and a few of them are pretty straight up with me.  Ms. C has a bit of a crack problem and when I ask her what she has on her, ( Read more... )

Three days ago my new guy is driving and I’m riding around on patrol.  We both observe a blond female standing in a crosswalk across the street yelling back towards this local diner and a small crowd.  Our traffic light is green and the car she is blocking starts honking, which she ignores.

We pull up and as I do ( Read more... )

A police officer's primary objectives, if you boil it down, is the protection of life, and to save property. I think it is safe to say that on a daily basis, when I am out driving around at work, the primary objectives don't cross my mind a whole lot.

Sure I am out there stopping people on foot (prostitutes, dope ( Read more... )

Had an interesting OWI (or DUI as some call it) last night. I get called to help at a minor injury accident. I get there and the victims state that they are at a stoplight and get bumped from behind. Not uncommon.

As the light changes they advance forward to pull into the gas station parking lot as one may do, ( Read more... )

Eau de Squad Car? Have any of you ever thought about the smell of a squad car? I try to keep mine pleasant. After all, it is my office all day. I estimated to a new guy I am training the other day that I probably spend about 5 bucks a month on "smellgoods" for the car. I have become quite the conniseur of air ( Read more... )

Stopped a car last night while trying to find a DUI. End up being a guy who is deemed a habitual violator for traffic offenses, which in this state, is a felony charge. Thought that the guy was a DUI but ended up only being .04, so I assume it was more likely the weed he had smoked earlier.

But thats not the ( Read more... )

Last night its busy as all get out on our side of town. Dispatcher D (who no one on the street likes for many reasons) puts out a hit and run leaving a supermarket.

"suspect vehicle is last seen leaving north on Ewing".

Ewing being an east/west street, some distance away is incorrect, and she should know this. I ( Read more... )
