"Noah, there is no problem with the person you arrested yesterday, he is clean and has no criminal record. When I found him yesterday, he had no weapons, no contraband, and it seemed that he was just unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time yesterday. ”

"What does the restaurant say?"

"At the right time, he did leave around 10 o'clock."

Noah helplessly spread his hands, last night's burglary to a shootout, the incident developed too fast, and someone who found a big night running on the road would definitely be misunderstood.

"Let's go, let our hapless bastard go home."

Noah returned to the interrogation room, opened the door and said to Jimmy, "Check it out, you can go back." Come with me, your backpack is outside. ”

Noah took Jimmy back to his backpack, opened it and checked it, his clothes and wallet were there, Jimmy put the backpack on his back and walked out of the police station.

Coming outside, Jimmy turned around and glanced at the police station, there was a logo of the Pulaski County Police Department hanging at the door, looking at this somewhat familiar logo, Jimmy remembered the gas station convenience store robbery two days ago, and the police car that went to the scene at that time was also this logo.

Walking to the side of the road, Jimmy looked at both sides, dumbfounded, he had never been here at all, he didn't have a map in his hand, he couldn't find Asher Street, and he didn't know how to go back to the restaurant.

In desperation, Jimmy returns to the police station and finds the front desk.

"Hey, ma'am, can I borrow a map?"

"Jimmy, why did you get back?"

Before the girl at the front desk could reply, Jimmy heard someone behind him call his name, turned around and saw that it was Officer Noah who had just sent him out.

"I don't know the way back to the restaurant, officer. I would like to borrow a map. ”

"Follow me, I'll send you there. You're lucky, I just happened to be out on patrol. ”

Officer Noah led Jimmy to the parking lot, and Jimmy casually opened the back door, "Sit in the front." Jimmy sat in the passenger seat, and Noah started the police car and set off.

……

"Thank you, officer." Jimmy thanked him, got out of the car, and headed back to the restaurant.

It was already 10 o'clock in the afternoon, and Jimmy waited at the door for a while, and Jon arrived.

"Jimmy, what happened last night? The county police department called me just now to ask about your situation. ”

Jon asked as he opened the door, and the two walked into the dining room.

"It's so unlucky, yesterday on my way back, I happened to meet the police dealing with a burglary, there was a shootout, I was implicated in it, and I stayed in the hospital for one night."

"Damn, are you hurt?"

"No, I was just knocked unconscious. Someone from the police station sent me back this morning. ”

"It's okay, you go and rest first."

Jimmy went to the break room to change his clothes and lay down on the bench to rest.

Looking back on what I have experienced in the past two days, it is too exciting, wandering, working, encountering a car accident in two days, two cases, being pointed at gunpoint, entering the police station, entering the hospital, whether the United States of America can still be better, it is too TM chaos. In the previous life, the big heart that had been tempered by so many fire dangers was also a little unbearable, and under this kind of social order, it was too difficult to be a law-abiding civilian with peace of mind.

Jacob and Erica arrive at the dining room, and Jacob sees Jimmy and asks him with a smile, "Jimmy, why are you at the police station this morning?" ”

Jimmy repeated his bad luck, "How did you know I was at the police station?" ”

Jacob laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Of course I know, I'm an AP (Auxiliary police), and I received a call from the police station just before I went out."

"What is an AP?"

"Auxiliary police, I've been working as an AP for a few years now, and now I occasionally go part-time on vacation."

"Can a police officer still work part-time? I had absolutely no idea. ”

"Hahaha, many people haven't noticed, AP has its own police badge, and the police station also has a special AP logo police car." Jacob said as he took out a police badge from his pocket, the hexagonal badge was the style of the Pulaski County police badge, but with an extra Auxiliary in front of the police.

"AP is a volunteer, and the attendance time is relatively free, and I only go to the police station to apply for assistance tasks when I am resting."

"Does AP get paid?"

"APs are volunteers and don't have a fixed salary, but the police department will subsidize attendance. Of course, you know, very little. ”

"Sounds good, can I be an AP?"

"Of course, I'll take you to the police station to report in the afternoon, and then take time to participate in the police station's training."

"Thanks, Jacob."

The restaurant is very boring and sometimes very busy. After the noon business ended, Jacob drove Jimmy to the Pulaski County Police Department again.

Looking at the police station building, Jimmy was a little speechless, he entered the police station twice in one day, and he didn't count himself as the second person to enter the palace.

"Good afternoon, Sergeant James."

"Hey, Jacob, are you on duty today?"

"Of course not, I haven't had my day off yet. This is Jimmy, a member of our restaurant, who wants to sign up for AP. ”

"OK, you go to Amy and register."

"Okay, goodbye, sir."

Jimmy followed Jacob to an office, "Amy, help register an AP, the sheriff has agreed." ”

"Great, Jacob, you're so sweet, we just happened to be running out of staff lately."

Amy took out some papers from the filing cabinet next to her, took out one and handed it to Jimmy, "You fill out the papers." ”

Jimmy picked up the paperwork, sat down at a nearby table and began to fill it out.

"Amy, what do you mean by not having enough manpower?"

"There haven't been enough students at the police academy for two years in a row, you know, our pay is relatively low, and those people have chosen to go to police academies in other states. Now the number of county police is not enough, and there are many registered APs, but fewer and fewer people can come. And you, think about the last time you came to the police station? More than two years. ”

"Hahaha, you know, I'm married and need more time to spend with my family, and Erica wants to go on vacation this Christmas."

"yes, so you see that the other APs are similar to you."

"I'm sorry, AP is just a personal will, we should respect other people's choices."

"Yes, so we can only work overtime, and now the police station basically has no normal shifts, and everyone is working overtime."

Jimmy fills out the form and hands it to Amy.

"OK, Jimmy, we'll do a background check and we'll let you know within three days, and if there's no problem, you'll need to attend 16 weeks of training according to the regulations, including legal training, first spot first aid knowledge, police scenario training, physical training, and so on. You can ask Jacob, who also participated in these trainings. We will let you know about other contents later. ”

“OK。”

"Alright, we're done, let's go back to the restaurant. Amy, come to my house and taste my special hot barbecue, you will definitely love it. bye。 Jacob said, then motioned for Jimmy to follow, turned and walked out of the office.
