Man, I hated the last shift. 2 unscheduled funeral processions. Its not bad when you can prepare the route, but when dispatch gives you 2 minutes notice its crap.
First call, go to such and such address and the husband and wife, unknown trouble in back yard. Uh oh, what do I have, B&E, prowler, trespass?
Send BU please. Get there, both are standing in front yard pointing to the backyard, "officer, we can't can't stand these groundhogs tearing up our yard anymore, please shoot them". Oh boy. Why me!!:dunno: Explain why I can't and why they can't and what they LEGALLY can do.
Second call, go to such and such address meet the woman about her deer/dear in backyard. "Dispatch, is that deer or dear?" Reply, "unknown".
Mark on scene, you guessed it, dead "deer" in back yard. Why Me!! She asks "What am I going to do about it". Now, seeing it is rather freshly expired, I say " Do you have a large hunting knife,rope and big freezer?" If not, theres nothing I can do since its on private property. She wants to know who to complain to. Go to my unit, get a complaint form, hand to her and say ME. Cleared with "advice given".
Third call, animal on highway. On scene. Dead dog. "Dispatch, why am I here, DOT handles removal of dead animals on highways? Unless you want me cuff it and take it to the regional jail. :faint:
I miss the good ole days of going on crime calls, catching crooks and just being useful.
Why should I have listened to MOM? She wanted me to be an accountant and I woulnd't have to put up with all this crap we do now.:dunno:
Have a nice day:yawn:
