COPS

Hi girls! I'm a little late with last weeks blog, but it was a pretty low-key relaxing week.
Monday wasn't very exciting yet it really wasn't boring either. We started off helping the records bureau organize traffic tickets and the afternoon we spent time in the communication center. The comm. center is actually a lot of fun because we get to listen to different 911 calls. We have heard everything from potential suicides to little kids playing with the phone.
Our mentor gave Becky and I Tuesday off before we checked in for our midterm meeting.
On Wednesday I went on a Shift Ride-a-long where we almost arrested a man for not complying with the officers. The man was under heavy suspicion because he was riding a young girl's bike. However, eventually his story checked out and he was cleared.
Thursday I had a Traffic Ride-a-long. The morning started off with a man lying about his intent at a car accident. After lying to the police officer for about half an hour, the man finally confessed that he was at fault. After the accident we began to run radar yet as we were looking for speeders, two tiny dogs came running to the squad car so that they could be held and loved. We tracked down the owner and the dogs were very happy to go home.
Friday was another easy and relaxing day. Becky and I filed and organized for the defectives bureau. We finished the original job so early that we were also able to help file for the finical department and the records bureau. Becky and I don't mind being assigned to filing or organization because we get to do so many cool things that we are more than happy to help out in any way we can.
