Craig's Restaurant in West Hollywood, Los Angeles

Cultivating his grandson to become a policeman is the second master's wish, and it is also the strongest one on the list.

Today is He Shan's day as a policeman, he looked at himself in a police uniform in the mirror, anyway, his abilities were sealed, although he didn't have any righteous heart, but he still respected the old man very much, and hoped to seriously fulfill the old man's wishes.

is still a policeman in Lao Mei, even if it is in the country, there are surveillance cameras everywhere, and he doesn't have to worry about public security. So in the 00s, the City of Angels, which had 88.8 guns per person, was once again successfully blessed to be the place where his police career began.

It is ten times more difficult to be a police officer in Lao Mei than to be a soldier, after all, it is to enforce the law in its own country, unlike soldiers who shoot twice casually outside, and their guns are aimed at their own people.

It takes up to one year from the submission of the application to the final admission to the Police Academy, which involves the first round of written examinations, which require the filling in of the address and references for the past 10 years, work or study history and references, and the answers to hundreds of questions about personal history and health.

The written test then begins with the language, calculation, logical thinking, legal knowledge, memory, judgment and observation skills that are indispensable to a qualified police officer. After passing the written test, it is the first round of interviews in the personnel department of the police department, mainly to see how you are.

Next is the psychological test, which has as many as 500 to 600 questions, which are all those police psychologists who have pondered for many years, and are very reliable. After passing this quiz, the next round of recruitment proceeds.

But at this time, the vast majority of test takers have been eliminated, so the instructors will slowly review the saved test takers.

In the second round of the assessment, there will be a lot of questions about personal privacy, and your financial status, credit status, spouse or family status, health status, etc., will be investigated, and then the physical fitness test.

Then there is a second, more tricky psychological test, which is a face-to-face meeting with a psychiatrist at the police station, who will talk to the applicant based on the results of the psychological test about what he thinks is more sensitive. Finally, there is the lie detector test: in a small room, with no windows, only four white walls, a detective-like instructor, a laptop, a few wires and sensor pieces, facing the wall.

After passing the last hurdle, you will be considered selected, and then you will enter the police academy to continue your studies.

The old American police are lenient, and of course the patrol officers of the lowest class are in charge of these. Fights, murder and arson, traffic jams, domestic violence, neighborhood disputes, problems with street lights in the community, etc., are all under its jurisdiction. Even if the children are disobedient, some parents also ask the police to help "teach" them.

Night patrols work from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next day, mainly patrolling the noisy and chaotic city center with bars, dance halls and theaters. But because He Shan is a newcomer, he was transferred to a wealthy area with relatively safe security, and it was the first day he went to work to report to the police station, so he had to be on duty with the day shift today.

"First of all, check the exterior of the car for damage, and if there are scratches, breakages and abrasions, come down immediately.

In addition, after the suspect has a car, he must check whether he has left anything in the car, money, drugs, clothes...... Do you need to write it down, I said so much do you remember? Police officer McConaughey explained, pointing at He Shan, pointing to the police car.

Without waiting for Ho Shan to answer, McConaughey continued: "Then check that your rifle is safely loaded, except for the police gun on your waist, every time the police patrol is not equipped with a shotgun." Police plastic bags, road lights, spike speed bumps, flashlights...... All of them must be checked before getting on the bus. ”

"Confirm that the hall is empty, and it is safe." When He Shan heard this, he immediately pulled out his gun and quickly put the gun back into the holster.

McConaughey thought for a moment and felt that there was no need to say anything more, so he put on his sunglasses, and then opened the car door, "Very good rookie, 8-B-8 is out of the car now." ”

……

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to speed, because the child has to be late for school to do such a reckless behavior. I'll pay attention later. The driver explained with his hands folded.

As long as it is within the purview of the company, we can give a moderate amount of "compassion" to students who violate traffic laws, but we will not tolerate those who do not have car insurance or drink and drive. ”

The old bird leads the rookie, a 56-year-old white police officer McConaughey, who quietly conveys his 35 years of experience as an errand to rookie police officer He Shan.

Because at the moment they were stopping a Chevrolet SUV that was speeding in a hurry to take their children to school.

"Understood." He Shan nodded and turned around to give the driver verbal education, he glanced at the cute child sitting in the back seat, and said sternly: "If you really care about the child, it is impossible to be late for school, this is not an excuse." ”

The driver was dumbfounded and didn't know how to refute it, because what the police said was too congested!

"Alright, let them go, or we may delay the future of a pillar of the nation." Seeing the driver's embarrassed face, McConaughey smiled and returned his driver's license, acting as a good old man, at this time, in fact, rookies usually sing white face, he sings black face, this situation is the first time to encounter.

From patrolling the police to now, he has many times wanted to take the opportunity to establish his prestige in front of He Shan, but unfortunately, he didn't grasp the opportunity once.

"Well done, you don't need half a year of internship, you can quickly become a full-time police officer." McConaughey patted Ho Shan's quilt with satisfaction, and got into the old black Ford police car.

On the surface, the security situation in the urban area during the day is quite calm. However, the radio in the police car has not been heard for a moment from morning to night, which shows how many unknown things are hidden in this flowery city.

McConaughey is a "cautious" police officer who will retire in a year, and now he only wants to spend the last days of his police career in peace and security, and finally travel the world with a high pension.

Therefore, he avoided the important and trivial cases such as homicides, and the cases he took over were all small fights.

Of course, in order to make themselves look tough in front of rookies, it will also be explained that they are all the lowest-level patrol officers, and it is not their turn to intervene in serious cases, but they will be thankless when they go, and they will be assigned to dirty work, just take care of their own patrol areas, and a single phone call in the rich area is much more important than those trivial matters.

Regarding such a statement, He Shan did not say too much that the mortality rate of police officers in the line of duty in Laomei is the highest in the world, and in other countries, criminals may be captured without the need to use weapons.

But in this country where the slogan of freedom is shouted the loudest, once the weapon is used, whether or not he can return home safely depends on the marksmanship of the criminal.

McConaughey also took He Shan around the whole of Los Angeles quite conscientiously, detailing the complicated gangster relationships and the worst civilian areas in the city, and telling his own 30 years of experience in the industry, as well as some insurmountable minefields that should not be touched.

The time of the patrol job is very flexible, basically out of the police station, except for the inability to catch criminals, if it is not necessary, the duty time is spent outside.

McConaughey was very flexible with this, and he was so fascinated that he took Ho Shan around until it was nearly noon, and then drove back to his house for dinner. And the meal time is a bit too long, because I have the habit of taking a nap, so I almost calculated the time to drive back to the police station to clock in and out of work.

"Drink mourning, don't leave this for you yet!" McConaughey, who arrived at the police station and was ready to leave work, called He Shan, who got out of the car to sign in, and he was not used to calling Chinese names.

"Send me?" He Shanhu took the glasses case suspiciously.

"I think you should need it, so it's a welcome gift." McConaughey went to hand over the car.

Since I have already worked the morning shift, I still have to work the night shift in the evening. So He Shan has time to rest in the middle class. But it was his first day on the job, but the police department's support staff didn't have time to sort out his desk, so he had to find a place to rest on his own.

"If it had been a different race, maybe it wouldn't have happened. Do you need to turn the next page for the magazine, and prevent your wrinkled, old hands from coming into contact with pollution! He Shan stared at him in an unkind tone, telling him that there was no place for him to stay at the police station, a black professional aunt.

On the office floor of the logistics civilian area, all the staff widened their eyes, they had not seen such a tough rookie to make trouble in a long time, and they spoke without mercy at all.

Under normal circumstances, the rookie who goes to work at the police station on the first day is not angry and cleans his desk with a rag!

"This isn't Chinatown, don't use any of you yellows on me, because I don't care." The aunt threw away the magazine angrily, pinched her waist and scolded the street.

He Shan took off the sunglasses given by McConaughey, "I'll come back to work at 10 o'clock tonight, if you don't take care of my desk by then, then I'm afraid you won't even have time to read magazines in the future, and you will have to ask your family to go to Chinatown to find your body......"

"Hey, rookie, keep your mouth clean, don't be caught, you'll be laid off on the first day of work." The colleague next to the aunt didn't want to make a big deal and stood up to pull the strings. He Shan's words just now are within the scope of intimidation, as long as the black aunt wants to do it, he can take off his uniform at any time.

Maybe He Shan hadn't adapted to the profession of a police officer yet, so he continued indifferently: "What if you get caught, do you guys who eat and wait for death have the courage to do it?" If you're not afraid of death, just complain about me! ”

"Are you a rookie crazy? How to deal with the logistics, it's your turn to point fingers, apologize to me, or I'm going to make you look good! "Auntie's anger completely exploded.

"Just let the horses come, the ball!" After He Shan laughed at the figure of the black aunt, he didn't continue to delay them, put on sunglasses and left, leaving a group of wide-eyed logistics staff. There was also a gray-haired branch chief who passed by the logistics department.

The most bullying department in the police station was intimidated by a rookie, and on the first day of work, he was blacklisted by the aunts of the logistics department, and He Shan became completely famous in the West Hollywood Police Department in Los Angeles.
