My department has gone a month or more without arresting anyone, so court is rarely a problem.

I've only been on a couple weeks and I've already done 3 arrests myself. That sounds easy as hell.

Our schedule is kind of tough because we rotate day-night within each set. 0630-1830, 0630-1830, 1730-0500, 1730-0500, and then 4 days off. The nice part is you get about 24 hours off when switching from days to nights.

Soooo many fireworks complaints already. Telling people it's a federal offense really does make them stop right quick.

Greetings, Rainbow Dash.

I will now sing for you a song that I hope will ease your performance anxiety.
I'm moving to a 1500-0100 shift so that may be a good change. I ended up on traffic detail for six hours today so that was a joy. I have that headache from when you get too much sun and not enough liquids. I'm counting the days till my big August vacation.

Bunch of DISARM NYPD babies run to hide behind the NYPD for protection from some bikers who don't appreciate them burning the American flag.

Should have let the bikers through :smuggo:.

Burning the flag is cool and good. Those pussies did a terrible job of it though 1/10

Best part is they specifically used a small grill because they knew open burning was against the law. So they GRILLED THE FLAG MANNNN.

Wait, so you guys consistently work the same shift on a regular basis? I have a 5 week rotating roster with duties all over the place and I still haven't gotten used to it three years later

My shifts, all 10 hours apart from one or two. http://i.imgur.com/eAqGNK2.png

I had the opportunity to change literally anything about the world and I used it to get a new av
Our patrol shifts work rotating 12hr shifts, 2 on / 2 off with 3 day weekends

Mon/Tues 0600-1800 then fri/sat/sun 1800-0600 then wed/thurs 0600-1800 etc, etc

It's pretty baller since you get a 3 day weekend every other week and you never get burned out on days/nights since it's always changing & you never work more than 3 in a row.

I have two shifts, mon-fri 0600-1400 & 1400-2200. Once a month I'm on call for the the weekend and the 2200-0600 shift (which is dead anyway)

Same, besides minimum 10 hour breaks, my shifts are all over the place. It does keep things interesting and 5 days off every now and then is cool. But loving with your body clock so often sucks and I swear I get sick more often because of it.

How many were gun shots? Alternatively can you scan chicago PD and listen to them take 80 shots fired calls in a weekend?

Easy

Dispatch: Respond to all South 400 blocks in reference to fireworks
Me: "Clear, I'll give extra patrol, 10-8"

And then don't even bother going by. That's what I do every year.

You don't understand small towns. The neighbors who call do have scanners and do look out their windows to ensure we're going where we're called to and will complain if they think we didn't handle something to their satisfaction.

I am far enough away from Chicago for it to be irrelevant what happens on their radio. Their statewide broadcasts barely reach my cars emergency radio, and even then they don't broadcast much on the statewide channels. I do listen in on broadcastify or police scanner apps every now and then.

We don't even have a CAD system I literally keep a notepad in my squad to write down addresses and details when I get a call over the radio.

My radio works with every force in the UK. I can (if I knew when he was on) change over to Hezzy's channel and stalk him and then move back to mine in seconds. I can MMS people, get tracked by GPS, make normal phone calls. Although sadly there is no camera yet so I still have to use my personal phone to sext superiors.

Cost is a fair point though, apparently something like 100 million a year is spent on our radio system.
