I went back to patrol this weekend because I left the team I joined(too much politics). Theyre short staffed beyond all the relief. And call volume is just like nothing Ive ever seen before. If before COVID there would be 2-3 calls holding. Theres now probably 20+. A dial tone goes off whenever theres a hot call. Usually meaning like an active violent felony in progress. That thing is going off like 10 every minutes.

but anyways. We have kind of a verbal agreement. The squads do the calls and everyone just leaves me alone and lets me be pro-active. I know all the criminals and I always get crazy stuff. We have to put a proactive unit out because of all the violent crime uptick now. So its just automatically me every day

I would be lucky to get into a foot pursuit every couple months. I got into THREE yesterday.

The first, I was watching a drug house and noticed one of its occupants walking in the middle of the street with a moped with no tags. I stopped him, he lied about who he was and the moped was stolen. He tried running at 300 pounds and broke a fence and I had to bring him down.

the second, I helped a unit with a suicide call. This parent were trying to get their 17 year old on a psych hold because he did meth and was losing his mind. I went to make a phone call to my supe and my partner scared the kid and he went running. He jumped a wall and I was waiting on the other side. Then he tried to square up on me and we had to go on the ground and I slammed both my knees on concrete.

Then finally, I watched like 10 juvies dressed in all black with sheistys on. park a brand new sports car behind a liquor store. Of course, when I got close, the vehicle was stolen. All 10 take off running, one of them drops a Glock with a full auto switch. The one I do catch, of course gets immediately released from juvie to his parents in one hour. Gets arrested later that night by a friend, with another Glock lol.

I woke up today and my knees and lower back hurt so bad. Maybe Its time to use my college degree on something CE. Cuz my number for detective has not been pulled yet
