Funny, I can think of a person for almost every category.

I wish I could find the one where it had the different achievements (I had a copy years ago and lost it):
- worked at xxx station
- had a divorce,
etc.

Patrol Sergeant
-Remembers very well "how we used to do do it."
-Always willing to tell his officers the above.
-Tries to fit the word "liability" in to every sentence.
-Talks about "what he's hearing from upstairs."

LOL This one is dead on along with "Can't keep mouth shut."

HOLY $H#T

That was pretty much spot on. Never seen it before but brilliant.

Think it was written by someone in Patrol, considering that is the only group portrayed as the "cool" ones?

[WILDMAN442]

Motors, the fighter pilots of the police world....and yes, I did do everyone of those on the list....

However, they have to go beyond just patrol.

I was at a court yesterday, listening to an LEO testifying on an arrest in a preliminary hearing. The LEO was on the job for 5 years, and the LEO did a terrible job on testimony. I suspected that the case might be dismissed, and it was. The LEO's do not get enough training on court testimony.

This. I've had ZERO training on court testimony.

Point of advice for those dealing with one or two DA's on a consistant basis - Go have a sit down in their office, talk to them, get to know them, let them get to know you. Lay out expectations you may have or ask them how to kick a public defenders teeth in (in the court room).

I stumbled (and still do to some extent) with testimony. But I have a very good working relationship with the DA that works in my area.
