It's not really a main thoroughfare, but the one-way street in front of my house seems to be a good place to test one's acceleration...at least that's the impression I get from half the cars that use my street.Grundle Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10748007604078024036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-15021996031512431792010-08-30T14:12:58.079-05:002010-08-30T14:12:58.079-05:00Chief,

Therefore, officers had to start reiterating the stop was part of their routine duties as police officers. Kind of like how they have to say they were in uniform and displaying their badge. Please rewrite a foot pursuit report for us to articulate the officer was wearing clothes.The cheese stands alonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-15876884051106864642010-08-30T12:22:08.784-05:002010-08-30T12:22:08.784-05:00I realize driving around aimlessly looking for sus...I realize driving around aimlessly looking for suspicious activity burns fuel and time. On the other hand, police presence must surely deter some criminal activity, whether it be someone about to break into a house, or someone looking for a drag race down main street. What if we went one better than life-sized cardboard cutouts of police cars or officers holding radar guns (such as those that have been used in other cities) and actually allowed citizens to paint their cars like police cars and put (non-functioning) cherry tops on them? I'd bet there would be dozens of people around town who would enjoy the novelty of driving around in a "police cruiser". Of course, they wouldn't be allowed to make traffic stops or perform any other police function, but their simple presence might have a significant effect on crime.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369138557977907215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-63783978766043704342010-08-30T08:10:31.514-05:002010-08-30T08:10:31.514-05:00Ask the average Hollyrock director or screenwriter...Ask the average Hollyrock director or screenwriter how many types of infantry patrols there are and to briefly define the purpose of each, and (with few exceptions) you'd likely get a blank, confused expression. Most of them think that there is only one type, and the purpose of that one is to give characters the opportunity to walk too close together, while making too much noise and exchanging one-lined banter.<br /><br />If you asked them the same thing about patrol types in your line of work, you'd surely run into the same deer-in-the-headlights look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-44710485842247766732010-08-30T06:54:20.941-05:002010-08-30T06:54:20.941-05:00Sounds like 619 had a busy day last week, on his &...Sounds like 619 had a busy day last week, on his "routine patrol" (sorry, couldn't resist). Is it true he found four miscreants with warrants in one morning? My point is that there is a value to having officers out on the street.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
