179 Decisions

After Jimmy's mission, he was given a sabbatical, and Jimmy went to Los Angeles this time, which can be regarded as seeing a well-known big city, although only seeing a corner.

The development of the city is inconsistent, Jimmy has been in Little Rock, looking at all the low houses, sparse residential areas, a city of more than 100,000 people, the real sparse flow of people, this time in Los Angeles is to experience the prosperity of the metropolis.

It's all police stations, the Little Rock Police Department has a total of 300-400 people, and Los Angeles is just a West Hollywood bureau under the Western Division, and there are hundreds of people in sight.

Of course, the prison guards were too bad, and after the riot was over, Jimmy learned that the entire Los Angeles County Police Department was only a hundred prison guards, plus shifts, vacations, etc., and there were dozens of prison guards on duty at that time, among which there were 2,30 people who were intercepted by the inmates into the building, and the outside circle of prison guards was responsible for perimeter security, and they couldn't move, no wonder the superintendent of the prison guard needed to support himself, and he could temporarily authorize himself to shoot.

Literally, Jimmy felt that their prison guards had an in-to-prisoner ratio of absolutely less than 20:1, which was good if it didn't happen, and if something went wrong, these prison guards alone would never be able to make a riot, and in the end, it was up to the Los Angeles County police and the LAPD to help.

By the way, there are only 100 police officers in the entire county in Pulaski County, and there are thousands of people in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, all of whom are of the same rank, and the difference in numbers is too large.

Jimmy had a day off at home and finally decided to give James a call and make an appointment for an evening chat.

Jimmy came to James's house at night, and in the study, James and Jimmy sat facing each other, and James took wine and glasses, and the two drank casually.

Jimmy: "James, I decided, I'm ready to accept Harden's invitation to join the FBI. ”

James: "You've finally decided, why?" ”

Jimmy: "You know I haven't left Little Rock much in the past two years, and even though it's the capital, there are so few of us here. After a trip, I suddenly realized that I had already entered a life of early retirement and I was still young. ”

James nodded: "You are honest, and the reason is normal." You're only in your 20s, and you still have a long life, so it's good to go out and walk around. ”

Jimmy: "Well, now that it's decided, there's no need to dwell on it, so I need to tell you in advance." ”

James: "Looks like you're feeling a lot in Los Angeles. ”

Jimmy: "Well, when I went to Los Angeles this time, my biggest feeling was that I was restricted, I didn't have a gun license, I didn't have law enforcement powers, I could only see that I couldn't participate, and I was in danger at any time, which was too embarrassing." The FBI has law enforcement powers at least across the country, and I can carry a gun with me anytime and anywhere, so I feel more secure. ”

James: "Why is there no sense of security?" What else are you doing over there besides the prison riot? ”

Jimmy: "Well, I went to the Walk of Fame next to it during the break, which is Hollywood, a famous tourist destination, but I basically didn't hear the sirens for much time, there seemed to be a lot of cases over there, and I felt that there were crimes around me at any time."

Later, when I went to the prison, when the prison rioted, Paul and I had no weapons on us, so we had to wait nervously in an interrogation room for the results, which was a terrible feeling.

It's a bit selfish and whimsical to say that, but I still want me to feel safe enough to carry my weapon, my gun, with me, wherever I am. ”

James nodded, "It's understandable, it's only you young people who have such ambitions, if I were 30 years younger, I would definitely go to live in a big city." ”

Jimmy: "Well, there's one more thing I'm concerned about. I didn't have any training at the Police Academy when I joined the police department, but I'm technically a SWAT team member now, not a real police officer, and I haven't participated in any crime-solving training.

This time, if the FBI application is approved, I should be arranged to go to the FBI National Academy for training, and there should be a complete case training course at that time, and I also need to make up for the class. ”

James: "Wonderful, I didn't expect you to think of this layer, it is true that for the county police, solving the case is not necessary, and we don't need these for our normal work." I've been a county police officer for a long time, and even I haven't noticed this, so it seems that you've really grown up. ”

Jimmy: "Well, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I'm going to talk to Hatten about it, see the schedule, and then go through the police department's departure process." ”

James: "No problem, I just had time to coordinate the staffing arrangements. ”

Jimmy and James talked for a while before taking their leave and going home.

Jimmy got home and texted Hatten, made an appointment to go to the bar for a drink, and then went to sleep.

The next day, Jimmy came to Justin's bar after work, and Hatten hadn't arrived yet, which was normal, after all, Jimmy was close. Jimmy asked for a drink and sat at the bar listening to a guest singing, which is also a characteristic of this kind of small bar, when there is no resident singer singing, others can go up and sing on their own, and the people around him do not heckle, most of them are friendly applause.

Jimmy had sung it before, but he had learned it here in the past two years, and he couldn't sing the songs he used to sing here.

As Jimmy was about to wait, Harden finally arrived, asked for a drink at the bar, and then went back to the reception room with Jimmy.

Hatten: "Jimmy, call me out at this time, it seems that you have a decision." ”

Jimmy: "Well, I'm going to check with you today what I need to do. ”

Hatten: "No, I don't need you to do anything, I'll help you through the referral process." You just have to wait for the notification later. ”

Jimmy: "Huh? Isn't your FBI application system? Only those who pass the application can go to the FBI National Academy for training and study. ”

Hatten: "Hahaha, I told you before, it's a regular process, and the internal recommendation process is a little different, and after the Ministry of Internal Affairs reviews it, it will contact you directly." ”

Jimmy: "Where will you be assigned when you become FBI?" You should have been fully trained at the academy, do you have any advice? ”

Hatten: "If it's assigned, I see the timing arrangement, no one knows about this, but since it's a recommendation application sent out from our office, it should be possible to come back to our office."

As for the academy, you don't have to worry about this, your abilities are completely sufficient. The assessment of the FBI National Academy is mainly divided into background investigation and ability assessment, background check you must be fine, ability assessment is also the basic physical condition, firearms, vehicles, etc., these for you, you must be able to pass, to have confidence in yourself. ”
