At Your Service
http://coplife.net/wordpress/?p=20
Yesterday while getting a call of a civil matter in an apt. complex we get flagged own by another resident. So we finish that and wander over to her. She says that there is a bat flying around in her apartment and was wondering what she should do. My new offcier I am training kind of looks over at me. I pipe ( Read more... ) -

A detective pulled me aside the other day and said "hey I've been meaning to talk to you". Me being obliging, steps into his cubicle as I was passing by. He starts off with "about a month ago you pulled over my neice and gave her a ticket".

Getting there
Well after taking the time to do it, my actual website at www.coplife.net has the blog up and running, thanks to wordpress. I will be adding the RSS feed very soon, and once that is done, I will be doing all the story posting exclusively on the blog, since thats what its for, right?
As I have mentioned before, the stories are added as the happen ( Read more... ) -
What It Takes
A lot of people from all over ask Coplife what kind of courses should they be taking to advance into law enforcement. A lot of people think I am full of crap when I tell them to avoid degrees in "Criminal Justice", which has become the new feelgood buzz in adult education. I place this misnomer of ekeing out a career in CJ based upon television, ( Read more... ) -
High Tech Homeless
Last night while driving around after midnight I see a blue tv glow coming from a pavilion in a local park. Parks here close after 11pm and truth be told, I dont care if youre there after dark as long as youre not setting things on fire or breaking stuff, but I had to check it out. I walk up and there is a homeless guy sleeping on a table. Next ( Read more... ) -
Knock down, drag out
I had the most peculiar homicide yesterday. About six blocks away I get a call of an injury accident. Okay, Im barreling down and get more info from radio: "two pedestrians struck, possibly intentional" Whhhhaaaa?
So I get there and sure enough, two down. Female run over and appears to have been dragged by the injuries. I get there and she is ( Read more... ) -
All over the net
I will be updating the website fairly soon with RSS and some more things to do, likely including a message board as I get the time. I also added a blogsite for coplife on blogger.com in case you peruse there. I refuse to lower coplife to MySpace standards though. -
"What the hell happened to you?"
First day back to work, and a really slow day. This is good because I am fighting with a case of 'not wanting to be here's, a wee bit of a hangover, and allergy season has arrived. So I am enjoying not having a lot to do today ( Read more... ) -
Stepping Over Death
Last night I get a call of a man down. Upon arrival the FD is already leaving, which is never a good sign. One of the guys says "youre gonna love this one" which usually means a stinker. Not this time ( Read more... ) -
Stoppable?
Its been my experience that if something *seems* like its out of place, its worth stopping. Every time I think I need to stop something going on and check it out, and I dont, I end up either wondering about it annoyed, or I do, and I am right. Its just that gut feeling you get as a LEO ( Read more... )
