Los Angeles has many nicknames, such as the City of Angels, the City of Stars, the Holy Land of Gangsters, etc., which is a city where countless young people rush to chase their dreams like crazy; It is also a city full of stars, and you may go out to a supermarket and meet a certain hero and heroine in a famous American drama; At night, of course, it's also a chaotic city of Salvadorans, Armenians, Afro-blacks, and Mexicans.

In short, no one can explain in a single sentence what kind of place Los Angeles is, and the city has a lot to conjure up with it.

For such a city to function, it naturally needs an aircraft carrier-style police department, and the Los Angeles Police Department is such a behemoth, its organizational cells are made up of about 13,000 police and civilian personnel.

It's not hard to understand the composition of the Los Angeles Police Department, and a casual search for the LAPD in the Internet age will give you a lot of detailed information, such as the top leadership of the police department is composed of the Police Commissioner's Committee, which is a five-member team that formulates policies, oversees and manages the operation of the police department; The Los Angeles Police Department has 21 districts, which are divided into four command districts, with the sheriff of each district reporting to the commission, and the police in that district reporting to the sheriff, so the LAPD's precinct sheriff has the same powers as the subdirector, but by different names.

Of course, the Los Angeles Police Department also has two very special agencies, that is, the Police Detective Bureau and the Special Operations Bureau, if anyone knows the grandest police funeral in the Los Angeles area, they will not be unfamiliar with the Special Operations Bureau, which is the sensational scene caused by the most popular police officer in Los Angeles after he died in a special operation, after Uncle Randy died in the line of duty, the media of the United States actually broadcast the grand funeral live without advertising for three consecutive hours, you must understand that the media of the United States even dare to sell advertisements for the president's speech, But these Jews treated Uncle Randy, a black police officer, with unprecedented respect.

Well, none of that had anything to do with the weekend, what really had to do with him was the LAPPD's Western Division, where he was going to report on secondment.

Before coming here, I did a little homework on the weekend, the jurisdiction of the Western Branch of the Los Angeles Police Department is the western slum known as the 'wandering area', where drugs are rampant, ** piles, although it is next to the downtown area, but few people with luxury cars dare to pass through this area at night, if there is such a person here, maybe he can wear a pair of underwear to go back to tell his fate.

Before querying this information on the weekend, I suddenly remembered an advertisement on a video website, a female star described California's 'they love to fly, love to play ......', but this female star never told anyone, Los Angeles, the most famous city in California, in addition to Hollywood, Disney, Beverly Hills, there are notorious gangsters in the list of specialties.

Even the website that consulted over the weekend had a comment like this: "If you pass by a house with a shoe hanging on the door, don't go close, that's Salvadoran's way of remembering the gang brothers who died in the firefight." ”

A whole new world awaits the weekend with only this little bit of text and pictures.

……

When the Los Angeles Police Department West Branch parked his car in the parking lot of this police station on the weekend, every qiē in front of him seemed so unfamiliar, the unfamiliar black police uniform, the unfamiliar LAPD letters on the police car, and even the accent was very unfamiliar.

Walking out of the parking lot of the LAPP's Western Branch over the weekend, he found that even the English he knew was completely different from the English spoken by the LA police officers......

"Hello...... I want to ......"

"Country cowboy?"

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Just after entering the police station over the weekend, when he was queuing up at the reception to report, a white police officer in his forties immediately heard his accent and responded in a very polite and joking tone.

"Oh, I'm on loan from Monteke Township, San Antonio, Texas for the weekend, and this is my secondment article, who should I go to to report?"

The somewhat timid weekend was a little stunned and said this sentence in a thick accent.

He couldn't change his accent, and he had been exposed to Montec for more than two months, and it was a fool's dream to open his mouth to say the standard American accent in such a situation.

"Zhou ...... End. Obviously, the policeman in the black uniform was not used to pronouncing his name in Chinese: "Follow me." ”

Bypassing the reception, when the police officer entered the police station on the weekend, he found that another police officer standing at the reception quickly took over his job, and he was extremely skilled, and Iward, who had to think for a while to make a choice no matter what he did, was simply two levels.

"This is the pantry, next to it is the locker room, the second floor is the vehicle management room, the gun management room and the sheriff's office, the police office area is also on the second floor, and the third floor is the evidence room, some ordinary case evidence that does not need to be handled by the police investigation bureau will be temporarily stored there, and these things will be pulled away by the forensic department and the general bureau every night." The policeman in the black police uniform introduced Yi Qiē very kindly: "You are seconded, right?" Then there's one thing you need to know......"

"What?" Just came to an unfamiliar environment for the weekend and humbly asked for advice.

"Our command center is called Parker...... Just a joke. ”

It's not funny to say the joke in the face of the other party's kindness on the weekend, but it can only be said in passing: "I know, I did some homework when I came, and Parker is a very famous sheriff in Los Angeles." ”

"You're right." They walked up the stairs to the second floor, and when he saw the entire substation on the weekend full of staff in police uniforms and civilian personnel in professional attire, he asked, "Don't you have civilian clothes?" "Obviously, he wants to get involved in big cases and doesn't want to patrol the streets anymore.

"You mean the Detective Bureau? Those people are in the General Bureau, and they are responsible for dealing with homicides, economic crimes, gangs, and anti-narcotics, and even juvenile delinquency and scientific investigations are under their control, and the duty of the sub-bureau is to patrol and provide the police with all the information it needs. ”

A bit of a disappointment at the weekend, in other words, he needed to get back on his feet in Los Angeles.

When, when, when.

The policeman, who walked up to the second floor with the weekend, knocked on the door of the sheriff's office and said to the weekend, "He's the one you're looking for." ”

"Please come in."

Crunch.

The officer pushed open the door and said to the people in the room, "SIR, the Montec, Texas Police Department is reporting on the weekend. ”

"Thank you."

The cop smiled at the sheriff, then left without much response, and walked in on the weekend.

"Weekend, right?" Entering the office, Weekend found himself facing a black sheriff, this guy has a height of more than 1.9 meters like a giant, at least a head taller than Weekend: "Drake told me about you, you are great, I hope you can understand me, as the sheriff of the Western Los Angeles Bureau, I was transferring a patrol from Texas for no reason, and secondment was the only way I could think of." ”

What else can be said over the weekend?

"Thank you very much."

The black sheriff stretched out his hand and said, "Please take a seat, you can be like them, call me Preston." ”

Sitting down slowly on the weekend, the black sheriff said thoughtfully: "Zhou, because the Western Branch is currently full of police partners, it is impossible to send someone to patrol with you, I hope you can wait patiently." During this period, perhaps ......" he was a little embarrassed: "Maybe you can increase the confidence of your colleagues in some other way, such as training ......" He did not say explicitly: "You also know that the police have the power to investigate the information of the citizens of the United States, so ......"

I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into the weekend for the first time when I realize that it is a hard requirement to be a partner with someone else in the United States, and when he partners with Christina, because he is a newcomer, Christina is his training officer, so he doesn't care much about marksmanship. But you're no newcomer anymore over the weekend, and you've been transferred to the Los Angeles West Bureau with the background of solving a severed foot murder case, and this is when the soon-to-be partner looks through the information and finds that your marksmanship is sloppy...... Who would want to give their lives to such people?

This is the Los Angeles Wandering Area!

"Hey, Zhou, you don't have to be ashamed of this, it's normal for a person who has just become a police officer for two months to have bad marksmanship, as long as you are willing to work hard, this is not a problem at all, the police training base is free and open to the police, you have unlimited bullets to waste, what are you afraid of?"

"Have you solved your life problems?"

"Do you need help?"

On the weekend, he looked up embarrassedly and said: "I booked a house in Chinatown on the Internet, and the rent is not too expensive." ”

"OK, when you didn't have a partner, you were in charge of following a sociologist to investigate the wandering area, which is not very safe, you know what I mean, right?"

I didn't expect that I came to Los Angeles from Texas across New Mexico and Arizona by car on the weekend, and my first assignment was to be a sociologist's sidekick, and I couldn't find a partner because of my poor marksmanship......

It was a tough start.
