Bureaucratic Headaches
I hate dealing with our Equipment Department. It is run by a bunch of civilian bean counters who have no interest in making my job easier. They set up very stupid rules about equipment issues and act like they pay for those items out of their own pockets. It often seems like I am equipped to do my job...
The Street Racer – Our Days in Court
In the time between issuing the excessive speeding ticket and our the first court date, the Street Racing Hot Line worked out the wrinkles in their new system and figured out how to deal with Mr Corvette Driver.

The guy tripped while going backwards and fell on his back onto the concrete. The doorman got tangled up with him and fell on top...

I was challenged by Officer Resource’s venerable moderator maclean to write this article around Christmas time, but just finally got off my lazy ass to do it.
