Citycop posted:So apparently for April Fools day someone (I'm thinking a co-worker) posted my beat partner and my personal phone numbers on craigslist with a promise of a free TV in the ghetto. I've flagged the post but my phone is ringing / texting "off the wall" (Phones don't hang on the wall anymore). I can't think of anything to do about it. The term is "blowing up". Your phone is "blowing up". Yes, I died a little on the inside after typing that. I would get a privacy app that lets you flag only specific numbers to ring through, all others are rejected. I use an app called SemiSilent for this purpose. Then your family/friends can still reach you but all other numbers will be rejected. Also change your voicemail if you have your name on there.

Citycop posted:Spoke with a co-worker who posted it as a joke. He's a young troop and didn't think it through. He's also unmarried with no kids so did not think about waking my kids up at 6am before they have that stupid state test today. I let him know that a lesser person, or me when I was younger, would have been much less forgiving about the whole thing. I also told him I'll inform him when the time comes to pay me back (Probably an unattended death call). You're getting soft in your old age. But props for taking the high road.

tacyak posted:I just got my start date for the academy and the first thing they've asked me to buy is a pair of black bdu pants. I thought the black tactical cargo pants thing was supposed to be a joke. Militarization of the police. Ron Paul 2012. You'll understand when you're on the job. Basically BDU's are a godsend when you need a place to stuff flashlights, gloves, a knife, keys, evidence you pick up at a scene. The extra pockets are really necessary and I hate wearing dress pants instead.

Branis posted:it's probably just your academy uniform. Also make sure you ask for something durable for your drop gun, don't wanna have to keep getting new ones cause you asked for a kel tec instead of a diamondback. We all know a edit - Serious guntalk. When my Keltec failed, they had it repaired and shipped back to me, free of charge, within nearly 2 weeks. It was a really pleasant customer service experience, though I don't know if that quite makes up for the overall poorer quality of the weapon. There are times I just don't carry off-duty anymore because I figure it's more likely that my Keltec would fail on me than it is that I would be involved in a shooting. It's actually pretty scary when I think about it but I try not to. The Shep fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Apr 9, 2014 |

Reign Of Pain posted:This is something that I still find hard to understand. I get that people have a budget, but considering how important your weapon is, why would you go for low quality to save a few bucks? Do you have to buy your own body armor too? I'm fairly sure that these purchases would at least be tax deductable(6 days, just fyi). The KelTec PF-9 was very highly recommended to me by some very experienced LEO's I worked with at the time who served as our department range masters and armorers. I never had a problem with it until the firing pin just broke on it one day and it wouldn't fire anymore. Prior to that, it started having misfeeds constantly but I don't know if that was connected to the firing pin failure. KelTec replaced about everything except the frame on the gun when they shipped it back. I haven't had a problem with it since then, it's just a feeling in the back of my mind that I don't trust it. I'd love to go out and drop $700 on a gun I can trust, but 1) I don't make a lot of money and I have a lot of bills, 2)I have very expensive hobbies, 3) I'm not really a gun guy so I just don't care that much. I have my primary duty-gun that I carry off-duty if I know I absolutely want to have something I can rely on.

Smiling Jack posted:Wait, your armorers recommended a Kel-Tec? To be fair, they only did because I told them price was my biggest concern. I was making about $15/hr at the time so money was tight. Also ask me about : Owning uncle mikes duty gear (it's awful). The Shep fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Apr 9, 2014 |

Reign Of Pain posted:This is what I'm talking about. If it's there to save your rear end, why isn't quality your biggest concern? I don't know, but it seems more important than having an expensive hobby or even owning a car. Do you have to buy your own vest? Is it poo poo or are there a lot of better ones out there? My dept did not issue body armor until a few years ago. Prior to that yes, you had to buy your own. I'll let you guess how many officers wore vests... I was trying to live on less than $30k/yr. I understand where you're coming from but I've gone through some tough financial times where I couldn't justify spending money on a secondary gun. I do plan on upgrading soon but not until I hopefully start a new job.

NutritiousSnack posted:i also think the two people who actually said "you dumb fucks would be calling us sir face to loving face" are legit pissed but that might be because I'm not a total retard. So are you saying this is like the Xbone hugbox? That's harsh man. One of the worst days on SA for me was when the Xbone hate thread got gassed. I don't think we ever demanded a hugbox. I think some of us saw some merit to a place where people could ask legal questions or discuss cop stuff.

I'm pretty sure one guy at my local range put some type of plastic explosive or something (I don't know poo poo about explosives so pardon my incompetence - I mean aside from my general incompetence overall), and hit the loving target at 50 yards with the biggest goddamn revolver I've ever seen and caused a huge boom that nearly made me go deaf through my ear phones. To top it off he was there with his two redneck children. And also I don't live in the south so
