Chapter 397 Promotion and Salary Increase to Open a Gold Mine (Add a change for the book friends who silently supported last month)
Seeing that there was only half a box of ordinary multi-flavored doughnuts, and then looking at the special blueberry cheese flavor in her hand, Elsa hesitated: "Forget it, Dustin doesn't like to eat donuts very much anyway, just give him half a box." ”
Blueberry cheese flavored, keep it to yourself.
……
In the corner of the hall, after the two sat down, Luke handed the file to Selena to sift through as usual.
Elizabeth had also returned, and was waving to Luke for something to say, and Luke nodded and asked her to come over.
After coming over, she said a few words, and he realized that Samantha had taken Ashley and Mike back to their home in Arizona, and Chris had also returned with his aunt.
Ginny, Bobby, and Chris were talking about the mine, and he didn't care about it lately, and when he heard this, he just asked, "Is there anything wrong with your mother?" ”
Elizabeth hesitated and nodded, "It's all done as you say." But ......"
Luke nodded, "That's fine." Work with peace of mind, don't worry about your family, it's a good thing to be really rich. ”
Elizabeth smiled wryly and nodded, it is better to have money than to work hard for years to pay off the college loan.
Speaking of this, she lowered her voice and said, "In the past two days, the news of Esworth's house has been more frequent, you can pay more attention." ”
Luke nodded, "yes, got it." ”
Elizabeth had something to say, but she didn't think it was appropriate, so she could only say thank you again and go back to work.
He turned around and looked at Selena opposite: "Have you chosen a good case?" ”
Selena didn't look up, and continued to look at the file: "It's all about the same." The weather has been nice for the past two days, and if you want to see a bikini beauty, there is a beach corpse case, and nothing else is unusual. ”
Luke sighed, a little interested: "What kind of female corpse?" ”
Selena: "It's supposed to be the kind you think, go check it out?" ”
Luke got up: "Let's go, take you to the ......"
The desk phone on the desk rang suddenly.
Luke casually picked up the phone: "Hey, okay, come on." ”
Putting down the phone and looking at Selena, he shrugged, "Dustin told us to go to his office." ”
Selena: "I hope it won't delay us from investigating the case." ”
Luke: "You want to go sunbathing, right?" Now the sun is going down, and you don't have to get sunburned. ”
Selena: "Inspect the location in advance, and you won't have to delay next time, can't you?" ”
Luke gave a thumbs up, indicating that he had nothing to say.
It didn't take long for the two to come out of Dustin's office, and one of them took a promotion paperwork.
Luke smiled: "Okay, I can still rush to go through the formalities today and change my ID and police badge." ”
Selena sighed: "Okay, it's still very good to get a promotion and a raise, and it's okay to spend less time in the sun." ”
The two of them went all the way through various procedures.
Although Luke didn't care much about the credit, he handled so many cases, especially a few very troublesome cases, not to mention that he was able to get a large donation from the Western District Bureau.
Then the promotion became inevitable.
Now, he and Selena are both third-order detectives.
At the recommendation of Ginny, the two enrolled in a local community college in Los Angeles and began their on-the-job college careers.
This community college is still formal, at least a school that has been accredited and verified by the U.S. Department of Education.
In addition to the difficulty of the test will be lower, the scope of the test will be more detailed, and this community college is similar to other universities.
Luke also looked up the college and went to sign up for the two so that he could graduate from the community college in two years.
This kind of two-year community college degree certificate cannot, of course, compare with those four-year formal universities.
But once you graduate, you can continue to apply to other universities.
Second, this degree certificate is recognized by the Los Angeles Police Department.
The crime rate in Los Angeles is rising, the number of new recruits in the police department is declining every year, and more and more young people do not want to become police officers.
As one of the top three sin cities in the United States, Los Angeles is by no means in vain, so being a police officer in Los Angeles is indeed a high-risk profession.
Many four-year college students don't want to work in this dangerous job of selling coolies.
The Los Angeles City Police Department (LAPD) and the Los Angeles County Police Department (LASD) can only begin lowering their recruitment requirements.
For example, the age has changed from 21 to 19, and the diploma has changed from a four-year university to a two-year diploma from a community college.
Luke estimated that in two years, the age would drop to seventeen and a half years old, because it would take almost half a year for the police academy training to add pre-service training, just enough for the newcomer to reach the minimum age of eighteen.
Let's talk about the annual salaries of Luke and the others, which were also directly transferred to the level of old police officers, close to 90,000 before tax.
This time, Dustin gave Luke and the two of them a step in place, converting their previous performance into the treatment they deserved.
After a few months, his promotion was deserved, and no one dared to gossip about him.
It's not the credit of the previous work in Houston, let alone the credit of the small town of Shackford, nor the non-disclosure agreements that can't be exposed. It's a credit to everyone right under their noses without any moisture.
Luke embraced it.
Third-order police detectives, including Elsa, there are four first- and second-level sheriffs in the serious crime team who are higher than him, and Dustin is the leader.
Now, he can be regarded as an "old qualified" police detective.
The celebration is exempt, there are a lot of second-class detectives in the 278th Serious Crime Unit, and he and Selena celebrate aggressively, which will only cause pink eye.
He went home in the evening, made Selena a promotion dinner, and at ten o'clock he got up and went out.
Selena pouted, "Looking for your secretary Ginny again?" ”
Luke laughed, "Of course, don't forget Chris's mine." ”
Selena was speechless, it was about the gold mine, and it was absolutely important.
Luke goes out and picks her up at Ginny's villa, and the two go out.
Ginny didn't mind, but Luke rarely went to her villa, let alone stayed overnight, and both spent the night together in a hotel outside.
Ginny had tempted him.
Luke's answer is realistic: avoid putting Ginny in danger.
After all, meeting at a hotel and staying at home are two levels of relationship.
As Luke takes on more and more cases, so does the number of dangerous people.
He had now come to see Ginny under the cover to make sure no one was following him.
Of course, the evenings when he met Ginny, he would often go out and do some side hustles to earn some experience points.
If you are in Ginny's villa, you have to bother to hide security when you get in and out, which is far less convenient than the hotel he specially chose.
In the hotel, the two snuggled up in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Ginny told him about what he had just done.
That Chris McCorkomick, the son of a mine owner in Prosperity Township, Arizona, had agreed to work with Ginny.
