I think officers try to help and correct the behavior in the moment. But it is ultimately up to the individual to change their behavior. <BR/><BR/>The frustration of loading a bookin sheet in hopes that something will stick and offer the prosecuting attorney something to bargain with does get me ill. But, lets face it. How many times has one heard in the hallway, "One more second your honor I beleive we may have a deal." No one likes to go to trial for minor offenses. With the case load so burdensome I don't blaim anyone in the legal system. Cop a plea and pay a fee is an accepted practice.<BR/><BR/>But all I ask is that those wanting to get into the field of law enforcement is this. Come in with the idea that you will help someone. You will accomplish this but you can not help everyone.<BR/><BR/>Spin on revovling door. The crime in town was here before me and it will be here when I am gone. But in the mean time I will catch those who I can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
