020 The first exclusive police car

Jimmy picked up his paycheck and walked to the equipment room to collect his solo patrol gear, a large bag, and a shotgun. Took the car keys and went to the parking lot.

I looked around at the license plate and found my police car, 8 into a new Victoria Crown, the front bumper is in the form of a half-pack, the side of the bumper extends to the left and right of the police car, and under the bumper is the car horn, which can be shouted to the car in front through the microphone in the cab.

The roof of the car is an old-fashioned tubular police light, which is basically invisible in 2022, and you can only watch some American dramas or movies before 2010, which is more intuitive.

The A-pillar of the driver's seat of the police car has an angle-adjustable spotlight, and the handle is on the inside of the A-pillar, so you can easily control it from the driver's seat in the car, turn the lights on and off, and turn the angle to illuminate the range of more than 180 degrees ahead.

With the Pulaski County Sheriff logo on the door, Jimmy checked the car back and forth, put the gear in the trunk, loaded the shotgun, and was ready to go.

Driving away from the police station, he first familiarized himself with the control of the car on a country road in the western suburbs with few cars and few people, and then started his first solo patrol.

The county police patrol has a scope, because of historical reasons, in some areas near the western suburbs of Little Rock, the county police and the Little Rock City Police Department have partial overlap, basically depending on the arrangement of the dispatch center.

For example, the rural police are only responsible for public security affairs within the rural area, the municipal police are only responsible for the affairs within the city, the county police are responsible for other regional security cases in addition to the city police and the rural police, the state police are responsible for public security cases outside the scope of the county police and cross-county cases, and there are also highway patrols, etc., and the federal police are only responsible for federal affairs and interstate affairs.

In addition to these police, there are some police officers who only involve specific areas, such as school police, park police, Capitol police, etc.

And now the area that Jimmy is responsible for patrolling originally belonged to the patrol scope of the city police department, which is a suburb of Little Rock, due to the problem of police station manpower, some areas are in the scope of joint patrol in consultation with the county police, and for these overlapping local cases, if you don't want to pick them up, it is no problem to directly ask the dispatch center to throw them to the city police department.

Another is the number of people, the largest number of police in the United States is the city police, accounting for more than 2/3 of the number of police in the country, and some data show that it has reached 3/4, and the county police department with a wider range of responsibilities usually faces the dilemma of insufficient manpower.

The Xiaoshi City Police Department has more than 700 employees and more than 500 police officers, while the county police station is relatively pitiful, with only a few dozen people, and is responsible for all security in the county except for a few larger cities, including some security tasks within the county government, such as bailiffs in the county court.

Of course, not all county police will be in charge, for the towns and villages under the county, there are local elected village police stations, in which there are not many police, a village police station more than a dozen, less than two or three police.

The police officers of the county police station and the village police station are usually recruited locally, generally retired soldiers of the army or retired soldiers of the National Guard, not necessarily all recruited police officers need to participate in the training and assessment of the police academy, and the police department is directly recruited by the sergeant of the local police station, and the police department arranges the training program on its own.

Jimmy is more unlucky or lucky, unfortunate because the sheriff is elected locally, an unreliable sheriff promised to improve the quality of the police at the time of the election, and the recruitment requirements for the county police are in accordance with the POST committee standards, recruiting police officers who graduated from the police academy, which directly leads to the first year of the sheriff's tenure, no new police officers have been recruited, and when Jimmy joined, it was the sheriff's second year of term. And without the requirements of this police academy, Jimmy can be hired directly as long as the sheriff agrees.

Fortunately, for reasons that are not yet known, Jimmy has obtained a new identity, which has completed all the prerequisites for joining the county police force, and only needs a little tricks to complete the entry. And the sheriff asked Jimmy to complete the identity change and onboarding for some purposes, at least for now, Jimmy is earned, especially considering that Jimmy's own soul comes from another place and has no special feelings about the original identity of this body, then it can be said that it is a big profit.

Jimmy has already done some things about the county police department during this time, the sheriff still has a 2-year term, and nothing should happen to him during his tenure, what he has to do is to firmly grasp the new identity in his hands, because this identity information is complete, in principle, he can change jobs at any time, find a big city police station who is willing to accept him, but now he has come to this world for a short time, and he doesn't know much about the outside, and what will not necessarily happen if he runs to a big city recklessly, It's better to be honest as a county police officer for a while.

"Adam28, knife-wielding hostage-taking, University of Arkansas Little Rock, the police said that a black man had an argument with a female student at the school gate, held her hostage with a knife, and the school police have surrounded him."

"Adam28 ROVE."

Although he was a little farther away, Jimmy accepted the assignment and headed for the University of Arkansas.

When Jimmy arrived at the school gate and found that the LRPD (Little Rock City Police) police car was already on the scene, he got out of the car and said hello, "Pulaski County Police, brother, do you need help?" ”

"My colleague has already gone in, and it should be done." The cop next to the police car turned his head and shook Jimmy's hand, "Sorry for letting you run for nothing." ”

"It's good that the matter is settled, then I'll go back first."

Jimmy turned back to the police car, reported the situation, and drove out of the school.

Before going far, the dispatch center notified "Adam28, Adam36, the State Police Highway Patrol reported that there is a suspect suspected of speeding, and he is currently driving from east to west on Highway 630, please meet at the entrance of Highway 630 College Road and wait." ”

"Adam28 ROVE." "Adam36 receives."

Jimmy drove to the highway entrance, and soon Mason arrived. The two waited for the notification at the intersection, and after receiving the notification, the two got on the highway, in normal form, and waited for the suspect vehicle behind to pass by.

Mason is also a veteran police officer, after locating the suspect vehicle and the state police vehicle, he directly turned on the police lights and went over, Jimmy was a little slower, and by the time he got close at speed, he was already the last police car.

The suspect switched lanes on the highway, at this time the speed of the car exceeded 120mph, which is equivalent to 192 km/h, this speed is a bit beyond Jimmy's imagination, he can only follow at the end, using the police car in front of him to open the road, and the other vehicles let out of the lane to speed up and follow, let him drive at a speed of 190 km/h to change lanes, it is estimated that the most direct consequence is overturning and crashing.
