Woman told no cops to help her due to budget cuts

[JamisonFRC]

More than willing to offer my services if they are willing to deputize me. I don't need pay, just a firearm and authority to use it. Policing isn't terribly hard. Sit in car, write tickets. Many cops go their entire careers without pulling a weapon or being threatened. It's not like rocket science or even working for Blackwater. Wear a badge, drive in a city car, sit in the AC and write tickets. If you kiss enough ass, you get promoted. If not, you stay in traffic where you become bitter and ticket people for no front plate.

I'm sure you are trying to entice 03trublu into twisting off, but you are truly showing your ignorance on the subject. Even if an officer wanted to sit in his car as you say, he still gets calls for service. He responds to the call, no matter what it is. I know, I know, he has no duty to protect and serve

Not sure about other departments, but we test for promotions. I believe all civil service departments are required to test for promotions.

lmao well i can guarantee one thing, the bad guys wouldnt be going to jail.

There'd be a lot of 'shots fired' calls.

Hey Frosty, why don't you move up to Josephine County and provide police service for free!

I didn't say always were, I said far more often than bad cops are and more severely. So she's paying for a service with her taxes that are denied to her when she is in need of them.

Oh I read where it said there was no one in the area. In 10 minutes without lights or sirens and keeping an eye out for cops I can be anywhere fairly quickly in anything I'm in. Cops have vehicles designed to move fast, lights that make sure people clear the way for them and dont' have to worry about getting tickets responding at high rates of speed and there was NO ONE that could come to her aid. Aren't cops always on call in emergencies? Fucking pick up the phone and call someone in. They take their cars home, take their weapons home and don't need to put on a uniform to perform their duty.

Or do I have that wrong?

Pretty much the whole thing is wrong from my departments standpoint. There are places in Dallas county that running code take you over 15 min to get to. This was a small department to begin with then throw in the fact they've only got 6 officers now...

There are times that our dispatch will broadcast "units to respond". Meaning every officer on shift is on a call. No available units to respond. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights it happens quite often.

I hear it everyday.. this man speaketh the truth.

Not all departments have a fleet program (take home cars).

You want police to respond to a domestic out of uniform? I'm sure you'd be the first one to say "I would shoot them because all I saw was a guy with a gun. I didn't know it was a cop." There are plenty of times it would take over 10 minutes to get to a call, on shift, running code 3. Even longer responding from your house after putting your uniform on. Besides that we can't even run code 3 (lights and siren) to a "normal" domestic call.

Yes we are subject to call back in emergencies, at my department anyway. I don't know this particular department's policy.

selective reading. kinda like me pointing out how the military had the guy that was filming female cadets in the shower. for the last year he was on desk duty but according to frost that never happens. all military personel that ever do anything wrong are severly and swiflty punished.

Fixed
