Cops who've had to call in for an "all units", what happened?

police officers of Reddit have you ever had an all units call and if so what happened I was doing a ride along in college in a fairly small city in Georgia when we got an all available units call the address came in the lights and siren went on and we were hauling butt at about 120 mph across town I had no idea where we were headed until we got there the only thing the officer said to me was no matter what happens stay in the freaking car if you see anyone with a gun call it

on the radio like this and showed me how if any of us get shot call it in and stay in the car then he took a deep breath calmly got out of the car and took a Sprint towards a 40 person melee in front of the only strip club in town we were the first car there over the course of the next 30 seconds officers arrived and kept coming until they outnumbered the people fighting the officer I was riding with was completely on his own for a 10-second eternity and was able to rip about 10

people apart from fighting before backup arrived it was the single bravest and most humbling thing I've ever seen with my own eyes when it was all over he got back in the car with three drunk and beaten up dudes in the back turned to me and said so when you going to sign up story two former military police here Air Force Security Forces is to be specific I was patrolling base housing doing some Le training I'd been on station less than a year and we heard a gunshot we called it in immediately and started heading

in the direction we heard it from those houses were duplexes and the neighbors called it in as well bdoc Dispatch sent us another police unit and then the entire external response Force this was was on a nuke base so even things that don't actually have any impact on the nuclear Mission totally have an impact on the nuclear Mission we had 19 total people on scene within about 3 minutes as the first ones on scene my post leader and I were already at the door when the rest of them showed up I was thankful for them

showing up when they did because we were about to breach the door and go in just the two of us we were told to hold for 30 seconds while the RF team got set up now we had a full stack and breaching equipment I made a fist and thumped my helmet signaling the breacher who came up with his Halligan tool my leader was number to in the stack so she had to throw the flashbang one of the RF guys passed it up from somewhere in the back of the stack and as soon as the breacher

had the door open she tossed it in all it did was scare the crap out of the dog only the husband was home as his wife was deployed he was sitting in the dining room on a chair with an SKS in his lap I was maybe a pound or so of pressure away from pulling the trigger on my rifle when I realized this dude's head was not fully intact the SKS was only in his lap because the sling got caught on his arm after he pulled the trigger as we cleared out the rest of the

house per procedure I had my non-firing hand basically stuffed in my mouth to stop me from puking the dude's wife had sent him pictures and videos of her cheating on him multiple times telling him she wanted a divorce he thought there was no other way out so he shot himself the only good news from that day is that we actually had picture and video evidence to use to charge her with adultery OSI like an Air Force version of the FBI pulled her out of her deployment and got her back on station and we charged her

with everything we could including our articles 92 107 125 which covers sodomy and 134 she was stripped of all rank forfeited pay went to confinement and was dishonorably discharged after her 11 years of service edit the neighbors adopted the dog he was a good boy and nobody wanted to see him go to the pound what an absurdly disgusting and hurtful way to tell someone you want a divorce if things aren't working out in your marriage sure whatever it happens all the time right you do not need to dismantle a man like that I'm glad they

charged her with everything they could because that is dis disgusting behavior in my opinion Story three 25 years ago smallish rural Town my dad is a Beat cop on patrol my cat brings in a live mouse and is playing with it in the kitchen and my mom is deathly afraid of rodents so she calls dispatch and tells them my dad needs to come home dispatch gets on the line and tells my dad to switch to a secur line there's an emergency at home my dad's driving home to take care of the issue when all of

the cops probably like four of my small town on patrol come in with sirens and lights blazing on my house because they all heard there was an emergency my mother was mortified okay look scared rodents sure whatever calling dispatch that's a bit much story four was a military police officer on a rather large base I was getting off shift and being transported back to my Barracks by the guys coming on shift so I could check in my weapon suddenly we got a call for an all units responding to a section of base housing a military

wife was having an affair with another Soldier while her husband was on deployment supposedly the husband was due to return soon so she tried to break it off with the other guy and he responded by stabbing her several times my team leader and I searched the tree line with our weapons drawn because he's armed and it's dark outside you know I actually passed the guy with my team leader a few yards behind me and suddenly he comes out saying you're looking for me scared the crap out of me my team leader covered him while I

went in for the handcuffing making sure that I had my knee firmly planted in between his shoulder blades and thoroughly covering his upper torso into the muddy terrain not sure what happened after that he was taken to a holding cell by another Squad and I got to go home ended up getting transferred from that base a few months later but I know the wife survived the wounds Story five I got run over by someone fleeing the scene of an incident that they weren't involved in he just got scared and apparently had a gun on him

I was out of my car talking to the person who called and my partner was trying to stop the person who was really called on so he didn't even see me get hit no one knew I got hit or where I was because my radio went flying luckily there were a lot of witnesses who called 911 and found my radio I confused the dispatcher because I was in so much shock that I came over the radio talking like I normally do but I was bleeding badly from my head and broke my leg I didn't feel

the pain for about 2 hours so I had that call come out because of me I'm pretty sure I also got a policy made story six not an officer but I'll share one of my buddies he was an older gent who has passed on now but if Reddit had been a thing when he was younger this would have been a top tifu when he was still new he worked in a larger City they had just gotten these shoulder mics you know the ones every cop now has mounted up by their mouth so they can call

in easier when new to them they wore the cord in front of their shirts always in the damn way and great handles when people wanted to wrestle Jimmy was called one night to a bar brawl he strolled into the bedom almost over he was a rookie always getting the crap detail so he was becoming famous among his department for ruining his uniforms to the point he was having to come out of pocket to replace them he walked into a vet telling him to Cuff everyone's still here and they'll sort them out later Jimmy grabs the

closest guy they struggle a little and go to the ground and as they do RIP Jimmy splits his pants clean up the backside knowing he's going to be the butt of jokes anyway he turns his head to announce to the other officers well that's another uh uniform down and keys his mic Bas hears uniform down and so does everyone else in the county the radio explodes with chatter but the three cops at the bar already have their hands full so they turn down their radios base decided to roll everything with lights to the scene Jimmy

said they were glad for the help when the first few cars rolled up but they just kept coming he was known as Jack the radio Ripper till he transferred minor repr and he still had to pay for the pants story 7even former Royal Canadian Mounted Police here from a small tourist town was working on a regular midwe day shift when we received a dispatch call for a bomb threat it was in the industrialcommercial sector of town we all went there called in the bomb squad the dogs got people out of the area so on we

were doing roadside when we got another call that the local banks silent alarm was turned on now we're in Canada in a tourist town things are usually relatively calm but this this was absolutely chaotic we got the all units call they call our neighboring Detachment to help we all split and head to the bank we arrive around 20 some patrol cars all around there to see all the bank employees bound and gagged smoke everywhere from smoke bombs we realize very quickly the bomb threat was the diversion we immediately got a be on the lookout to

get the three males identified by the bank staff including a former bank employee we get the bolo out to cpic got words to airports and border crossings we managed to catch two out of three of the guys the last one flew back back to his home country was in Canada on a student visa we remained on high alert for days after this looking for the third guy Canadian authorities worked with their colleagues from the other guy's country to get him extradited almost a year later in the end as I recall about $130,000 were missing and

never recovered for most of us it was the first time we had a bomb threat Andor a robbery the first time we were guarding an area expecting to be shot at from an unknown location The Robbers were reported to have AK-47 type looking weapons Story 8 years ago a friend of mine was a dispatcher for the county he covered Sheriff EMS and fire Communications and also worked with communicating with other agencies as well from the state troopers he got some sort of text communication not a phone text this was before that kind of thing and

it referred to an accident with injuries at the intersection of I40 and Business 85 something along the lines of collision I40 bus 85 injuries involved the way it was abbreviated and written made him misread it instead of an accident at 85 business he thought there was a bus Collision on I40 with 85 people injured he dispatched every damnn firetruck and ambulance the county had they show up and it's a two-car wreck with minor injuries edit wasn't actually I40 but I can't remember which Highway it was somewhere in Davidson I know the bus 85 part is

right though I had to read that line like five times to make sure I was reading it correctly cuz I'm like that makes it sound like there's 85 injuries and then I read a little further I'm like oh that's the point surely there was a better way to say that story n so I interned at the local PD at a time when all stations received new radio device the new devices looked a bit like old cell phones and had a bright orange panic button on the top it was meant for situations where for example a

single officer was attacked and needed help pushing that button resulted in all Communications on the standard channel one being turned to oneway communication only so all units would listen to what's going on whenever the panic button was pressed and an automatic all free units call all other units had to switch to the much weaker channel two to communicate but Channel 2 only allowed one device to speak so either dispatch or car 1 or car 2 Etc could talk but not multiple people at the same time like on channel one to disable the panic mode you

had to push the bright orange button in a certain way think of something like holding it for 3 seconds followed by four quick pushes it could not be done remotely this happened in a rather large city where some police stations are closed at night usually the ones in the suburbs where few calls come in that night an older po closed down the remotest station in the suburbs and decided to shut off the radio devices you guessed it he pushed the panic button on top because he thought that's where the devices were were to be turned

on and off he had no clue what he did he locked the station and went home since it was the first day of using the new devices quite a few officers were unsure how to turn to channel 2 basically all communication was blocked Q Panic everywhere with frantic cell phone calls to dispatch and dispatch was trying to figure out who closed that station and thus had one of the only keys to open it so the panic mode could be disabled this unintentional all units call turned into an actual no unit can call though quite a

few units were busy trying to resolve the situation story 10 all unit calls are more common and less critical than movies would have you believe what you may be referring to instead is a code swordfish a memorable one a few years back was during a celebrity night they were doing this charity event with a couple of famous personalities amongst which was Helen mirin at around 2 a.m. a code swordfish is sent out and everyone rushes to the event the scene was a Coke fueled bedum of apocalyptic proportions people screeching and tearing at each other's faces

a man biting into a live cat a pool filled with foam chlorine and awful and in the middle of all of this was Dame mirin she was riding be back on a fat hairy man slapping her thighs in excitement and screaming her head off I've never seen so much Vigor and ecstasy in a single person before she was making this weird facial thing like a horse blowing raspberries and throwing loud wet farts one after another we tased her but she ran butt naked into the street climbed a palm tree and swung away from tree to

tree we caught her a day later when the coke wore off and she crept into a local chicken farm to sleep so this is obviously a joke response I don't super get it but it seems specific enough that someone might so if this means anything in particular to you and it's hilarious please enlighten the rest of us story 11 usually about once a month or so we're taught that if you need backup if stuff starts hitting the fan call it in and worry about how many people come later a unit was on patrol two weeks

ago and some guy just started shooting at him all the unit got out was 34th Street 10:33 I'm taking fire 10:33 being the code for send the Cavalry SL officer in need of a assistance it all ended fine we caught the guy no injuries but you better believe every officer in our area dropped what they were doing in went another recent one is a mini Riot that broke out at a candle vigil for a murder victim an officer stepped in alone bad move to stop the fight started getting his butt handed to him we ended

up coming in dispersed the crowd and got out edit good chance to rant about a pet peeve of mine when a 10:33 goes out there are always a few units who block the air with useless chatter hold me responding what's their location dispatch I'll come back to my current assignment later do they need a rifle on scene it drives me crazy get off the radio leave the air clear for the unit fighting for their damn lives and every unit not on something absolutely necessary is required to respond why would you waste time to say you're

going yeah no duh story 12 not a cop but former practicing journalist current PR person got a text about a shooting turns out a Cop made a stop got shot in the neck by the passenger ended the life of the passenger and shot the driver and the driver got away cops from the two adjoining cities came sheriff's deputies airport police and University Police all came out in under 3 minutes about 150 cops within 30 minutes Marshall's FBI and ATF were there as well largest response I've ever seen there were rounds that had been fired into

the buildings surrounding that area it was a mess I was in the wrong place at the right time I guess last story I ever did made the full-time switch to PR story 13 might not have been an all units call but the day my daughter went un responsive after having a febal seizure the dispatcher sent out unresponsive 2-year-old and we had about 30 EMT police firefighters at our house in minutes we live in a rural area short distance from fire hall/ ambulance Hall thankfully she was okay but it was scary for us at the moment

when her temperature wouldn't go down and then she passed out story 15 one that stands out was a Chase which ended with a crash three dead people and a trunk full of guns and drugs but there's robberies Pursuit assists and man with gun calls all all of which usually get opened up depending on the situation and always officer down or needs immediate assistance 1024 if you're close especially they hit that button or shots start going off I'm dropping everything grabbing my 416 and traveling light speed and coming in with everything I've got story 16 Corrections

here when I was first on the job I was doing an overtime shift in the maximum security unit it was my Friday 1 hour to go and my birthday weekend at that at400 while counting the minutes a call comes out on the radio central control I activate IMS housing unit 3 inmate is refusing to Cuff up and has broken the fire sprinklers in his cell requesting a team response put B team on standby IMS is code for locking down everything when you hear an IMS call that means every inmate that is not in a Cell

must be secured it's serious stuff because when an event like this occurs other officers must leave their respective posts to assist which means officers that remain on their units while their counterparts assist are now even more outnumbered and that can easily spiral out of control in short any event like this is a serious security threat in this case Max was put on lockdown while the rest of the institution kept about their business interesting thing is when an IMS comes out for Max the collective prison sphincter cinches up a bit because Max is where the real

violent stuff goes down in a team is always the first to respond but the kicker with this one was the command to put the B team on standby this means stuff has hit the fan and anyone not immediately supervising inmates would be required to respond if so commanded a B Team deployment to Max would send the rest of the 7,000 bed institution into a complete lockdown all doctor's appointments visits movement throughout the building completely locked down You' hear sallyport doors slamming shut everywhere really cool to experience it honestly there's also c d and e teams

if those were ever called H well it shouldn't get to that point anyway being the new guy I was elected to respond when I arrived at the briefing area we were immediately ordered to put our riot gear and biohazard coveralls on other officer helped us suit up so no skin was exposed only being a few weeks out of the Academy I crapped myself this was not only my first aam response but also a biohazard blood seed urine crap which is it Sergeant all of them I don't believe in Jesus but I did briefly for that

moment when we were escorted into the unit it was a war zone the entire housing unit was full of gas fire alarms blaring red lights flashing everywhere even though we had our gas masks on it didn't help as we had put them on in a hurry the first responding officers had to go in without any protective gear the dude was still in his cell he had been gassed maced and hosed he was unrelenting I thought he's got to be on PCP and then I remembered this is Max nothing gets in or out the inmate was

butt naked covered in God knows what screaming unintelligibly he was bleeding from his arms due to having Bitten full chunks out of them his cell was watered down from the sprinklers and from getting sprayed with any number of OC variants the best part this man in all his naked Splendor and rage was 120% hard like we're talking the fullest absolute you've ever seen something deep inside his primordial mind had gotten irrevocably turned on through all this even his dong being exposed to OC spray did nothing to stop it we stack up in a line for

cell breaches six of us would line up in a stick the person on point always had the shield two to five had the Cuffs the last guy was the moderator they would give the inmate a final opportunity to comply because because the pain was freaking coming inmate this is your last opportunity to approach the door and cuff up do you comply yeah of course not when this inmate saw us line up however something changed as if the Holy Spirit spoke to him he cuffed up was dragged out of his cell still hard by the way

and thrown into a shower I didn't even get to breach the cell the sight of six officers in full riot gear lining up outside of your door and you knowing full well they're going to find a way to all fit near cell in less than 3 seconds can be a really humbling experience the end edit sorry for the let down of a conclusion the reality of these situations is that we have to contain the threat there are only two outcomes containment or people getting murdered I highly recommend the HBO documentary Gladiator days which depicts the

outrageous violence at the institution I served at I wish we got to know what in his mind changed what made this guy who's absolutely losing it causing the most chaos these people have probably seen in a long time just all of a sudden be like oh yeah no you're right I'll comply you would think they're in some kind kind of blind rage at that point but it seemed this guy had at least some wits about him anyway op don't worry about the let down of a conclusion because if we think about it any other conclusion

is significantly worse for everyone involved we got the good Ending Story 17 my father was a highway Federal Officer and this was in Mexico they were armed with the light machine guns of standard caliber because stuff gets real against cartels here in the northern bter but it's so big and spaced out you have to deal with it yourself cuz the nearest unit can be an hour plus away and they have reinforced trucks anyway he once told me that he encountered a convoy of three Humvees while he was on the side of the road relatively hidden

he open fire at the first hum's tires and it loses control the other two break and like 12 dudes with kalashnikovs come out to Fire and random directions they probably didn't see where they got shot from and my father lays down suppressing fire on them until two units come from each side of the road from a relatively nearby station to arrest what's left of them story 18 A friend of mine was a k9 cop with a local small Police Department he was a solid guy but by his own admission wasn't the brightest as an example

he couldn't learn the German commands for the dog so they had to teach the dog English anyway one day an all call or whatever it's called came in it was regarding a shooting which is rare here my friend was taking a dump at the time and his dog was in his SUV the cops went running out and jumped in whatever car was available the K9 was in the back seat when some other cop jumped in the SUV the K9 got spooked and clamped down on the cop's neck he freaked out and started screaming Into His

Radio all the other cops thought he arrived at scene and had been shot my friend hearing this on the radio and knowing how his dog acts ran out of the bathroom pulling his pants up Havoc ensued if I were a cop I'd want to work for a small Police Department story 19 not a cop but I once got an all units call to my house backstory my mom was dating a big druggie and everyone knew who he was and our address I was around 15 and one night he went off the rails and was beating

the crap out of my mom I got involved just in time to see him swing at my sister who was seven at the time I ran for the phone and called it in I got as far as the address when he grabbed me by the neck and threw me while the dispatcher heard my garbled yells and called it in as a possible homicide in progress that combined with his reputation sent every single cop in the surrounding jurisdictions flying our way by the end of it I think there were 20 plus officers at our house I

ended up hitting him with my mom's cast iron skillet to keep him there just as the first officer showed up he was super cool about it and pretended he didn't see a thing it was a Terri night and my mom was mad at me for months but man you do not screw with my little sister story 20 I served in West Belfast Northern Ireland due to the high Threat Level in my division we would Patrol in two armored Land Rovers each with minimum three armed officers one of which would have an assault rifle or SMG

basically we could handle most scenarios one day however our vehicle was in an intentional head-on collision with a stolen car as it was driving towards local children playing in the street this resulted in our front wheel Arch bending to the point the vehicle could travel no more in a few minutes the community we were there to protect turned against us it was like Blackhawk Down a few hundred people came out of the woodwork as they realized we were an easy target petrol bombs and Bricks rained on top of us as we attempted to pursue the

car thief on foot we jumped in the back of our vehicle and called for assistance in under 5 minutes a fleet of approximately 5 to six armored Land Rovers appeared from the neighboring Division and drove the crowd back they managed to tow us to safety and we lived to get bricked another day story 21 as the story goes in duth Minnesota for a long time the radio signal that available officers could meet for Dunkin Donuts was the code word Broken Arrow one day someone not from the city was in the local Newsroom when this was

overheard he got alarmed and told the rest of the newsroom that the code word likely meant the police station was at that moment overwhelmed and outgunned and they were calling all available units to help reporters rushed to the scene to find donuts that code word is no longer used Story 2 to not a police officer but I had an incident where 20 police cars were in my neighborhood the day my mom passed away they wouldn't let us see her until after the autopsy came back and she had a heart attack my entire house was filled

and it was a decent sized house one was sitting in my gaming chair looking through things like dude you're not going to find anything on a 14-year-old girl's desk it was around 9:00 a.m. when I found her and by the time they all left it was close to 11:00 p.m. tldr my mom died and police stayed for almost 14 hours Opie I feel like you're leaving out some important context here why what did they suspect happened and why was your house the one being searched did they think you did it was there suspicion against your

dad like you got to give us more story 23 my uncle told me a story once about getting called on a code swordfish which is a bit more serious than all units there was this coked up 6 foot something huge guy who had just shot up a liquor store and was tearing down the interstate he told us there were probably about 15 cop cars already tailing him when he caught up with two state troopers leading when he got onto the Interstate he was practically right next to the guy they ran his car off the road

and the dude jumps out while it's still moving and runs across the Interstate he jumps over the guard rail and falls about 10 ft to the other side and then he runs across that into the woods the two state troopers got out as soon as they saw him running and took off after him with my uncle not far behind one of them didn't realize how far the fall was and broke his ankle the other chased down the guy by the time my uncle got there the other state trooper was staggered and about to pass out

from how hard his butt got kicked my uncle without breaking his Sprint charged the guy throwing the heaviest hay maker he could the guy went out immediately later they had to go to the hospital to file reports since they had to take the guy in for the drug stuff my uncle was sitting on a chair with his hat over his hand in his lap the doctor comes in and asks how big of a flashlight did he hit the dude with my uncle just lifts his hat and shows his bruised and swollen hand apparently he hit

the guy so hard it fractured his Temple and very nearly ended his life story 24 our calls are a little different mostly rescued use but will sometimes fall in with the local police departments once got called for a dirt bite accident on the trail story starts out that kids broken up pretty bad lost and can't get out of the trail it's a 7 Mile Trail and only wide enough for 1 ATV to get through at a time all traffic goes one way none of us live that way so none of us have a bike with

us and I'm the only one who's ridden the trail I'm headed to the trail head while I'm listening to the radio traffic thinking to myself you dumb idiots it's going to be at least 4 hours before we find and drag this kid out of there why the hell are you calling in the helicopter opter there's no Landing Zone and they aren't going to wait four plus hours for you local search and rescue screwing stuff up they'll be on IV fluids within the hour helicopter flies through then leaves oh big surprise there word gets out that

another group riding got the kid and they're taking him to the highway group actually rides through to the end of the trail head kids fine nothing broken but his bike he had earbuds on inside of his helmet when he went down he hit his head hard enough to break off both of the earbuds inside of his ears and just like that I will never wear earbuds inside my helmet and another one which I was off for but the original call is too good dispatch calls saying there is an alligator eating a person in the river

now this is pretty big and one of our worst fears it'll impact how we manage alligators from then on we've got to get out there catch and end a 12 plus foot alligator and recover a body that no one's reported missing so they all scramble to get a boat in the water before this thing leaves and goes to sleep for two weeks with a full belly because then the half-eaten body sinks and no amount of dragging or side sonar will help find it in the flood River other agencies are getting out there too they find

the alligator and it's eating a dog so now these guys are cutting up about it and out of nowhere they notice a body floating in the river turns out some guy ran from Highway Patrol days before tried to cross the river drowned and happened to float up at exactly the right time I did get to catch the dog eater though son of gun made the paper and all honesty I think the couple who originally made the call accidentally drowned their pet when the River flooded and the alligator found the carcass later they were guilt-ridden and

needed a scapegoat for their ignorance and two alligators died for it because of the media we were forced to remove one we knew there's no realistic way to get the one who actually ate the dog so we just had a Trapper set a line and remove the first Gator over 8 foot that took the bait as soon as you remove one another shows up so this couple sees another big Gator and raises hell that we didn't catch the right one so we set a line for the next one comes out just over 11 ft we're

just like for the love of God just don't see another alligator people in between these two I was out with a partner looking for the dog murderer we mostly hooked them on rod and reel based on the pictures and location we found it we hooked into it and immediately knew we would never catch it this huge guy pulled an 18t boat up a flooded River like it was soggy newspaper had us dipping so low we were worried about cap sizing swam under a log and we kept fighting till the line finally broke after being under

for well over 45 minutes this thing pops up like 15 ft from us and crawls up onto a Fallen Tree in sandb starts huffing trying to get some oxygen back we are just stunned staring at it like we just made the Placid Lake Monster upset and it's coming for Revenge my partner's been doing this for many years and he says it's the largest gator he's ever seen the thing was over 13t and was still partially submerged coloration matched the picture of the dog eater better and this was it but he's staying on this planet for

a while longer Story 25 not a cop but hopefully relevant I was at one of the lakefront beaches in Chicago a few summers ago when according to news report later a party quart mile down the trail started getting out of hand apparently party got way overcrowded so a pair of cops rolled up in a squad car to get the mariachi band to quit in hopes of folks losing interest and dispersing this was a nogo and crowd responded by among other things breaking the squad car windows and surging in around the cops one of whom put

out an oh crap call I don't know the details but apparently Chicago cops have a code that basically means drop whatever you're doing get the hell over here because within 90 seconds Wilson Avenue looked and I kid you not like that epic car chase at the end of blu's Brothers if I had to guess must have been at least 50 cars hauling it onto the lak front one after the other like a high-speed parade of cop cars celebrating we're going to screw you up and then arrest everybody day which well basically it was story 26

not a police officer but the person all units were focused on my high school had an open campus so some friends and I were at one of their houses a few blocks away for lunch one day we were messing around with an airsoft gun in his backyard now some neighbors saw it and called the police thinking it was real we were ordered to come out of the house with a megaphone and swarmed by the SWAT team once we were all out I'm talking 15 officers with full armor and assault weapons once I was on the

ground I looked around and saw four or five police cars parked across the street with snipers on us we didn't end up getting in any trouble because hey didn't do anything wrong but I think the response was justified based on the call and concern over school shootings story 27 never a policeman but I used to work in the security industry I was quite well known by the local officers and had quite a few dealings with them both in and and out of work one day I got a call on my mobile phone while on duty

bit odd it was the local custody Sergeant apparently there had been a call that a child was being attacked in some Woodland next to my site I was being asked to run to the site of the report as I would be there first a good 2 or 3 minutes in front of the police I went and pretty soon was scouring this little woods for anyone I could find the whole time I was crapping myself what if I find someone doing something to a kid what do I do I mean I probably shouldn't end their lives

could I not could I just frighten him off the kid and take control there would I be able to control my anger all those thoughts happened in a Flash plus more I did a few frantic C laps of this place before hearing cars pulling up behind me outside the wood next thing I know there was the entire local police force in there with me we never found anyone no sign horrible moment story 28 the first and only cavalry charge I've ever seen was in Brooklyn there was this ride on the W12 in B and Cony

Island in the late ' 80s called The Polar Express you've all seen it it's that ride that goes really fast around then it goes backwards while blasting really loud music stupid but whatever this also attracted every broke butt in Brooklyn who couldn't afford to get into a club or were thrown out of all of them on weekends and as such was a freaking nightmare there were always fights but you learn to let them Tire themselves out a bit before you waited in because things could get ugly I was detailed to this thing with a small

army of other rookie cops on the 4th of July weekend we were told in no uncertain terms do not go into the crowd ever nothing is happening in there that's ever worth your safety so of course a braw breaks out and someone immediately goes in now please understand you have to go now you can't leave the other guy alone even if he did screw up the crowd parts for us like Moses parting the Red Sea and then closes back in on us and the air mail rocks and Bottles Come Sailing we pretty much go back

to back ala 300 but we are vastly vastly outnumbered and out inebriated we're fighting our way out and there's backup trying to fight its way in to get to us but it's taken time and I don't know if you've literally ever fought for your life but God it's tiring that adrenaline jolt only buys you so much time then I saw it a flying wedge formation of mounted charging down West 12 into the crowd at full speed with the sergeant in the Middle with his night stick out held like he was ordering a charge and a

crap eating grin that said he wanted to do this for his entire life hell I think the horse was smiling too you'll hear the term crash a lot and it's hyper not here no no these guys crashed into this Riot sending bodies flying everywhere like the bow of a great warship cutting through a stormy sea a blue black leather and Rowan Battleship the crowd dispersed in about 3 minutes flat equally as stunned by what they just saw as honestly the foot cops were I know sometimes people complain about the cost of maintaining Mounted Police units

because they're seen as unnecessary backup for tourist photos and oh my God I am living proof that they are so so much more valuable than that story 29 late to the thread but here goes as with most not a police officer I was a boarding officer in the USCG many moons ago typical four-man boat crew on a USCG 41 ft early one morning on a normal Harbor Patrol I noticed a 75- ft Motor Yacht illegally anchored given the ship traffic coming and going in the pre-dawn light it was totally unsafe so I radioed the station

and they advised we make contact I grabbed the search light and illuminated the yacht and when I lit up the guy sleeping in the after deck in a chair as soon as my light hit him he bounced up and ran inside if only he hadn't done that this prompted our boat driver at the time to overreact slamming the throttles forward hitting the sirens SL lights and saying repeatedly over the loudspeaker this is the United States Coast Guard prepare to be boarded of course now everyone's adrenaline is flowing and what was just an illegal anchoring situation

was now in the mind of these other guys the world's biggest drug bust about to go down see the ship had a Mexican registry so we come alongside and immediately duh make the determin that the ship is too large to be boarded so we escort them back to station this is the all units call part by the time we get back to station every single member of my unit plus every crew member on the larger Cutters that tied up at the station were all on Deck watching there was another military base nearby with a large

police force so their police were on scene along with the local Sheriff's Department K9 unit US Customs DEA and some guys in suu's affiliation I was never able to figure out probably FBI or CGI who knows this was a lit truly all hands- on Deck a preliminary search of the vessel found a very small quantity of marijuana in the bedside table of the master cabin there were three generations of a Mexican family enjoying their vacation and it looked like Mom or Dad might have enjoyed a joint or two in the evenings back in their cabin

that's what it looked like to me to everyone else it looked like The Reincarnation of Pablo Escobar they ripped that yacht apart in the name of space accountability when the overall outside measurement is greater than the total of all the inside compartment measurements leading one to believe there may be hidden compartments whatever they even ripped up the decks with saws thinking there may be something stashed along the Keel pipes as a lowly E3 pretty fresh out of boot camp my part in all of this was armed guard for the family I stood there with a

beta 92F on my side and an M16 in my hands guarding grandma grandpa mom dad and the three kids and as I stood there watching their boat be ripped to shreds over the discovery of a couple of joints I asked myself was I really supposed to shoot them if they tried to run or Escape over a couple of joints and illegally anchored the illegal anchoring that I noticed and brought to everyone's attention I discovered later this boat was not on any of our watch lists and no one ever did find anything the boat stayed tied

up in a nearby Marina for a couple of months and then just disappeared one day I'm not sure whatever became of the boat or the family but I hope they're well I'll never forget that day I had such guilt and such remorse for what those poor people endured that I became very disenchanted with my choice to join I loved the search and rescue part of the CG's Mission and I have some great memories of some truly good deeds I got to do for many people but the law enforcement part stuck in my craw and I

was choking on it so when our wonderful US Congress failed to come up with a budget and we shut down the government briefly so when our wonderful US Congress failed to come up with a budget and we shut down the government briefly the chief walked into morning muster one day and said anyone want out come to my office at 1100 hours today for processing to the inactive ready reserve it was like a dream come true I got everything I needed out of my time and service and I did some good while I was there but

never again would I find myself hovering over the elderly and children with an automatic weapon or ruining someone's day/ vacation SL property SL life for a couple of joints and for that I am extremely grateful you know what I bet these people weren't even compensated for the boat being destroyed because they found the joints I bet they were like our search was justified because we found illegal substances a class one or whatever the US system is drug and yeah the uh nationality of the family definitely didn't help matters and implicit biases that may exist this

sucks for them they super didn't deserve this op I really respect how you responded and how you feel about it though props for that story 30 not a cop but had all units on an Air Force Base called on me we were in a hardened aircraft shelter that had vaults in the floor with nukes we had just installed an engine in a jet and I had to run it for operational checks there was also an external tank on the jet that needed emptying so during the run I tried to burn the fuel out of the

tank so we could remove it the max allowable ground run limit unrestrained is 8 85% it was the weekend so no one was around to bust me if I went higher I got up to 89% and it's still going slow the ground guy asked me what I was at he told me Bill had done 93% oh well the challenge was laid down I ended up jamming on the brakes and hitting full mil power 102% here's the thing the vaults had vibration sensors to prevent people from tunneling into the nukes next thing I know I look

out of the cockpit to see every cop on base in front of the shelter now it's AOW L as hell in the shelter and these cops are running in with M16s while trying to cover their ears they're screaming at my ground guy to get me to shut down I'm laughing my butt off watching these dudes with guns trying to function with the noise and holding a rifle so I drop back down to idle and they're screaming for me to shut down the cool down period for a high power run is 5 minutes so I run

it idle for every second of the 5 minutes watching these guys suffer the noise of a GE 129 jet engine after I shut down they forced me out of the cockpit and evacuate us to 100 m in front of the shelter I track down the highest ranking guy to explain why the alarm got set off a bunch of cops went to secure and inspect the shelter I was talking to the guy in charge when one of the new cops comes running up saying they have a suspicious package so I asked him what the hell is

he talking about he said there's a bag next to a giant red box I asked him if he's talking about my backpack next to the Snap-on toolbox his boss called him an idiot and they all left our commander showed up and talked me into never doing that ever freaking again and have a nice weekend tldr nuke alarms bring all the boys boys to the yard story 31 I'm not a police officer but back when I was a reporter I had to write up a fun little story for the paper the local University had a Greek

week in which all the frats and sororities would compete for charity at the end of the week they would gather together in carpool over to the local Drive-In normally the campus required any Gathering of more than a dozen or so people be registered so they could send an officer to monitor for underaged drinking but because this wasn't an official party no one bothered to tell campus police the plan was to go elsewhere sure enough the neighbors complained about an unauthorized party as there were maybe a few dozen kids Milling about loading up for the car

poool so a couple of the campus police were sent over to move the kids along when they get there there's kids everywhere and they're talking crap to Cops they thought it was ridiculous that someone called the cops on a car poool one of the officers then slipped on a beer bottle while walking into the frat house but his partner didn't see why he had fallen he heard a crash then sees his senior partner on the ground thinking his partner has been hit by a thrown bottle he rushes over to the cruiser and called in for

backup but he was relatively green and made several little mistakes instead of using normal language he decided to use codes instead of saying hey we're clearing out that unauthorized party and we could use a couple more officers he used the codes for ride in progress officers down on the scene and need immediate backup oh and instead of using the campus police only band they used the shared County band well ride in progress officers down is apparently something dispatchers take a little seriously an all units call was then immediately repeated to the four adjacent counties plus

most of the individual cities and towns ultimately a couple hundred cars screamed their way to campus cooler heads eventually prevailed but not until a few hundred cops from about a dozen Apartments had dawned their anti-riot gear fired tear gas into a crowd that had no idea they were rioting and had detained everyone in a two block radius without realizing or intending to the rookie had summoned nearly every officer in a 50m area story 32 I'm not a police officer but last week there was a big standoff in the town over from me a man held

his wife hostage for a few days I'm unsure of the backstory but I believe the relationship was ending when SWAT arrived the home explode when they tried to enter and six officers were injured so they ended up calling officers from other surrounding towns it was all over the news and you could see SWAT and POS everywhere the man had a lot of smaller sheds in the backyard and everything started to catch fire I believe the woman got out but they found the man's charred body inside once they got the fire under control story 33 UK

2010 weather Spoons on a crossroad on the main road out of the city local football derby match just finished in Pub chatting with friends across from the pub suddenly two the three police vans or cars from each of four directions come steaming up blue lights and Sirens 10 to 12 Vehicles altogether big guy confronting male and female officers out front suddenly go stiff and hits the deck cuffed and hauled away hit with a taser gun 5 minutes later they're all winding down and leaving when police officer turns up panting on his push bike had clearly

biked a couple of miles to respond huge round of applause as he arrives story 35 I'm not a police officer but was a nurse at a prison every year there was a picnic for the inmates serving life sentences where they have family that can come in and visit in the yard one year during the picnic there were approximately 200 people Milling about in the yard of the prison when inside the maximum security common room a fight broke out between two inmates when one of the officers came up behind one of the inmates to try and

separate them she kicked backward and hit his shin in just the right place with her prison issue boots and shattered his tibia one of the other responding officers in the Pod called across the radio officer injured off Officer Down send everyone the radios are monitored by the local PD as well in case something serious happens like a ride or hostage situation so the local PD intercepts this message and sends everyone I'm serious when I say Everyone by the way there were police officers Federal investigators ambulances firet trucks and even parks department Vehicles responding at this

point there's so much chaos that none of the officers in the Central Command know what's going on or what the status of the injured officer actually is so against protocol they throw open the gates and all of these responding officers descend upon the prison the poor 200 people in the yard were swooped down upon by the literal 100 officers with guns fortunately the situation was cooled down quickly and no one else was injured but it was so congested with cars the gates to the prison were wide open with empty police cars left running and unattended

I was actually surprised that not a single inmate tried to take advantage and sneak out although the prison was unlocked down for the next 24 hours while they tried to complete the investigation and sort out the chaos story 36 if you want want to know how screwed up our immigration system is here you go I was a CBP officer for 2 years so according to some on here I wasn't a real cop but I nonetheless was in law enforcement if someone is traveling from certain countries in Europe and Asia they get a Visa waiver they

can visit for up to 3 months on business or pleasure without a Visa so this dude comes through on Visa waiver and at the time there were two different systems to process Travelers one was integrated in the fingerprints and pictures went into the systems with the passport info at the same time at the Midfield or connections terminal someone coming to the US but going on to a different city we used a system that had two programs where one had fingerprints and picture or Biometrics and the other processed the passport you have to wait for the

Biometrics to come back before you approved the passport we had this really dumb officer working for us I don't know how she made it through Academy because she had a partial understanding of English and from what we gathered was a male order bride from some Asian country might have been Thailand rest easy though weary Travelers most CBP officers are far more qualified than she was we think she knew someone to get the job as she was processing a pass English or Scottish can't remember she didn't let the Biometrics finish and admitted him after the inspection

he hit on Biometrics and he had a bench warrant in NYC everyone available had to search the airport for this guy about 20 of us ran through the airport looking for him we thought it was some catastrophic crime so the funny part and I'm likely going to get down voted for this but she had a hard time telling one white person from the other I know everyone jokes we think all Asians look Alik but it works vice versa too and we only had a copy of the bench warrant not a photo to go by she

sees like six different guys she thinks are him but they're all American finally we find the guy and he's very friendly we asked him about the bench warrant and he says he got in trouble in New York and they told him it wasn't a big deal we called the originator of the warrant after taking the guy back to the inspection area with us and this is where things got complicated he had been found High by a cop and pretty much taken in and dismissed the warrant was for a follow-up court date but for some reason

it wasn't mandatory it was sort of just there in case he got arrested in NYC so someone knew that there had been previous contact so we could have let him go the issue was that he admitted on his entry form that he'd been a drug addict which is immediate denial of Entry we asked him about it and he said he was on his way to a treatment facility run by Eric Clapton's foundation and that he hadd been clean but thought he might relapse so his parents footed the bill so he could stay clean he had

the entire catalog with him and showed it to us but we had to deport him had he not shown up with the hit and admitted to being a drug user we could have let him through in fact the supervisor was going to give him a pass but you can't legally edit an entry document once it's been stamped with an entry stamp we told the guy we had to deport and he just smiled and was like okay going to get a bite to eat he didn't even seem bothered we told him he could come back with

a B1 or B2 visa and he said he would apply as soon as he got home he said it's just a bump in the road I'd rather go through this clean than go through anything I went through the past few years I know it may sound wrong but I wish he had gotten away it was her screw-up that caught him and we scrambled to catch guy who was just trying to better himself I still think about this guy and it really made me think about how I felt about drug addiction at the time the guy's

attitude told us he couldn't be defeated and hey I totally respected that now In fairness should have done his research and gotten a Visa you can get a Visa with his history especially for medical reasons we just admit so many people who are dirt bags that it shames me we had to send a decent guy home story 37 obligatory not a cop but I'm a security guard at a homeless shelter and about 3 weeks ago some dirt bag rushed me and took a swing I stepped back and flinched heart at him meaning I was intending

to swing 100% but I bed because in my head I kept saying no you'll be fired he's got to be close enough to threaten you for real or hit you to not get fired and it was enough just to rile him up a bit and he squared up on me at that moment all of my Bros no exaggeration 15 or 20 rushed to my Aid getting in between me and raging dude they started screwing him up so I rushed inside the Mayhem like climbing over people trying to pull out my wouldbe assaulter before he's Beat

to Death and about 15 police car suddenly came flying into the shelter campus later one of my cop Bros told me a random uninvolved client called and told him I was being jumped by a group of homeless dudes with no backup and being the standup bad ass dudes they are they rolled everyone as fast as possible to try and help and if you're wondering why so many understand this and only this homeless people don't give a single crap about anything ever and you can never predict what they might do never story 38 3 years ago

my sergeant was shot and his life ended attempting to talk to a child toucher probation violation warrant suspect out of his house guy shot him directly in the forehead through a window at an angle they didn't believe was possible hence the fact he was standing out a window i' had been pepper sprayed that morning at a less than lethal instructor course and while driving home from a neighboring town I saw dozens of emergency vehicles flying through town I responded as well because no one was answering the radio and was met at the perimeter by another

agency in our jurisdiction the guy was my friend and told me what had happened headed to the hospital after that halfway there I stopped to call my family so they wouldn't think the mental health officer murdered was me and completely lost it after regaining composure I got to the ER and met with the rest of our unit and Sergeant's wife hearing her screams St in over his dead body haunts me to this day guy gave up my Sergeant's wife didn't want to go through a multiple year ordeal and within 6 months the piece of crap

had signed a plea deal for life without parole as long as death penalty was taken off the table story 39 not a cop but I'm pretty sure I saw one of these Saturday I was sitting in the car with my son eating some ice cream in a gas station parking lot when a cop car went by Kid of course loved it the lights and Sirens are on a few minutes later we see more going the same direction and one lone car coming from the other way I'm assuming the alone car was the original one we

saw go by as there were no others that came from that way dude is flying and the cars coming the other way stopped so I'm wondering what's going on turns out it was a Chase with a dark SUV I didn't see until they were passing us all the other cop cars turned around in the street right beside me I saw at least eight cop cars go by in a span of a few minutes best show the kids ever seen because I'd never seen anything like this before so I'm freaking out and he's seeing all this

stuff go on right beside him learned the next morning that state patrol was eventually involved and performed a pit maneuver on the SUV to make it stop this is a tiny City by the way we never see stuff like this story 40 a large wedding in Brooklyn it was midnight so there weren't that many units to begin with the family started Waring with each other and when we arrived they of course turned on us and everyone and I mean everyone was brawling we turned out three cars that night and one of them was out on

a homicide so we're just yelling keep them coming Central the duty Captain the supervisory officer for the patrol BAU shows up looks around sees this as quickly becoming a route and calls a Citywide 1013 which means a designated number of cars from every borrow task force in the city that was one of them story 41 one that stands out as an officer down call it was a very slow night one officer was at the hospital sitting on a suspect some of us were at the station and one unit was on a traffic stop he'd taken

a long time and dispatch status checked him he said he was fine this particular office we were sitting in you can hear the 911 line ringing very loudly all of a sudden both the 911 lines and Non-Emergency land lines go insane then I hear it over the radio officer down officer down X and Y Street unit code 3 Officer Down what happened after that is sort of a blur but we jumped in our cars and flew a 100 miles an hour the neighboring agency which is very large occasionally receives our 911 calls too there is

no hyperbole when I say their entire division responded 15 plus cars over 50 officers they were amazing in their assistance and care for us us I was first on scene I saw a ring of people standing over something and staring down I politely told them to move and saw my friend lying on his back I did my best to comfort him some old lady started praying over him and I was a jerk to her I feel bad about that one my friend kept telling me to call his wife and sister and tell them and I

kept telling him that he would tell them himself I knelt down and held his head in my lap I removed his gun and shield and gave them to my boss he was okay the suspect he' stopped lied to him about his identity and took off he dragged my friend with his truck and then ran over his ankle breaking it he was shipped off to the ER the rest of that evening was long and stressful detectives Administration crime scene news reporters Etc I don't want to give any more details about the suspect but he was a

wanted felon convicted of assault of two children under 10 through thousands of hours of effort and investigation by us and our brother/sister officers from other agencies he was caught hiding out in South Texas he was sentenced to 50 years in prison for what he did to my friend and violating his parole after that sentence he was tried in federal court for felony charge and received another 20 years in federal prison non-concurrent anyway my friend is better and back to work that night was one of the most difficult moments in my career I can still hear

the radio transmission in my head I get goosebumps anytime I think about it story 42 Portland Police arrest man after alleged Star Wars lightsaber assault at Toys R Us police arrested a man who allegedly assaulted three people with a blue lightsaber at Hayden Island Toys R R Us Wednesday night a 911 caller report reported the incident about 9:50 p.m. and said the man was inside the store swinging the Star Wars weapon of choice at customers while the caller was on the phone the man then left the store lightsaber in hand and walked out to the

parking lot officers tried to arrest the man but he kept swinging at him the sergeant said one tried to use his taser on the suspect but the device didn't work another officer used his taser and made contact but the man knocked one of the wires away with the light saber the officers finally arrested the man after grabbing him and pinning him to the ground the suspect was treated by medics at the scene and taken to an area hospital for mental evaluation none of the victims of the lightsaber assault needed medical attention though okay I don't

was this an all units call did that happen because just looking at the post this is a copy and paste from a news article like op is not even really the op of this comment they're reposting the news in a Reddit comment I feel like the image of a dude fending off officer with a lightsaber is funny enough to tell it anyway but also what why are we just copy pasting news articles in Reddit threads what are we doing story 43 well my dad was a cop he passed away we live in a small city

which has a small police Detachment he told me of this the city borders the Pan American highway so there's always high traffic in the zone bear that in mind someone tipped at the border of Patrol that a huge Convoy of drugs had already passed their Zone and is heading to my city but it's heavily guarded with Watchers a car with guys that will alert of police blockades and so often a few miles ahead of the Convoy and grunts the ones in charge of safety of the whole thing in one of those unknown coincidences of Life

the cops were doing a few checkup points on different roads in order to catch tax Dodgers and the Watchers got stopped by one of those one of the guys shot an officer in the chest punctured lung and survived the shot though all hell broke loose the radio went on Officer Down dispatch dis dispatch all the dis is a special division like us SWAT heavy weaponry and SWAT training long story short blockades Galore and cops everywhere units from more than 2 hours away came up things got very tense for a couple of hours at one end

of the blockade they were able to spot the Convoy and all the units moved there the Convoy got detained three wounded cops three grunts died two wounded and six tons of drugs story 44 former CEO for state prison and I was the reason for the call we would often work under staffed as the state doesn't pay as well as counties or municipalities I was freshly certified 2011 completed the academy and state certification less than 60 days prior and I was called by one of the dorms that only had one staff member assigned she had noticed

suspicious activity I grabbed another staff member female who completed the academy even more recently than I and went down the wing there were too many inmates in a single room they're not supposed to be inside any room in which they don't reside so we tossed the extras and made the two who stayed in the room sit outside while we searched uh mistake number one always handcuff an inmate prior to a search go through his property and end up finding a very small Implement looked like a cartridge from a pen or something with a small bit

of Razor melted into it maybe a quarter of a US dime inmate claims it's for cleaning between his teeth normally finding any kind of Contra band is automatic lockup and especially a weapon but I have a touchy Lieutenant on that night the kind who would overturn a lockup because I didn't clear it with him first I go upstairs and call it in clear it with the lieutenant and he tells me to escort him to see him and he'll make the determination now this is where it goes sideways I return to the wing pull my cuffs

and tell the inmate to turn around inmate starts flapping his gums about it's my birthday this is BS blah blah blah not hearing it tell him to turn around one final time before I realize what happened I'm recovering from being hit in the face and at this point I've dropped the cuffs on the ground mistake number two I never saw him ball up or swing I just remember regaining my balance and thinking this dude just hit me a second later I see him attacking the female officer I was with I'm still green and I'm not

thinking clearly I grabbed the inmate and put him into a headlock mistake number three not an approved move not by a long shot I start punching him in the face I yelled to the female to ask if she's okay and she's fully engaged and active she comes over to grab the inmate and attempt to restrain him at this point the has decided he's not a fan of my armpit and would like to be free he turns his head in and bites the hell out of me reflexively mistake number four I let go of the inmate

and gasp in pain he turns towards the female officer again who has not been successful in restraining the inmate and her glasses are in several dozen pieces on the floor this gives me a moment where the inmate and I aren't sharing a personal bubble I hit the button on my body alarm and then rip it off it has a secondary activation where the string on the top of the device becomes dislodged if you remove it from your belt and I hit the red button on on my radio I find out later that the woman in

the bubble the officer station did not know what was going on and did not know we were in trouble until the control room called a Zone alarm something to the effect of there's a body alarm activated in Echo dorm Wing one these things are usually not taken seriously she saw what was happening and that was when the emergency was declared back to the situation he's swinging at the female officer again and I lock him in yet another headlock hey I'm a slow learner this time on the opposite side of my body I'm punching him in

the face and trying to bounce his head off the wall but the Angles and my hold on him are off it's not having the desired effect at this point I have an epiphany neither of us have deployed chemical agents I rip my holster yank my OC and begin spraying the inmate the inmate is in the middle of biting me again when the spray hits him in the eyes and nose he lets go and manages to get a good mouthful as well at this point we go down and hit the floor his fight is completely gone

and he wants nothing but for it to be over I kept the hold until the female officer was able to successfully secure his hands with cuffs I stood up and was going to begin clearing the wing and at that point the internal security officer who' been performing out inside building checks at the time bursts into the wing and began clearing it out as he ran down to where we were back of the wing he was the first person on scene and he was outside the fence when the call was made he was 6'4 and like

400 plus PB but ran like a banshee and beat out all the more fit individuals we were roomies and best friends might have had something to do with it the lieutenant and a few other people show up we were ushered off the wing and they began the post use of force recording before the end of the night the inmate was escorted to Medical spit on the officer transporting him screamed at the top of his lungs about how he was in Vietnam and had both of his arms cut off and that we treated him unfairly the

whole boot he was moved from medical to confinement pretty quickly where he refused to Decon shower so they sprayed him again this time he was naked so you can probably imagine how that went down it took them a week to transfer the inmate out the female officer I was with was related to someone who had worked with the department for a long time they had to specially handpick a team of people who had never worked with him to transport the inmate in the meantime she and I were on outside vehicle patrol for the week because

he had blood in his mouth when he bit me I ended up on the cocktail thankfully I can say after 7 years I am free of HIV or any other communicable stuff I left Corrections in 2015 and now I'm in it I make better money not including overtime but I enjoyed the time with the wife and no computer has ever bitten me so long there're wasted me or gunned me story 45 former police officer here but not as crazy as other posts I was involved in an accident while in pursuit of a vehicle I was

t-boned on the passenger side of my patrol car it was bad my car did multiple 360s jumped the highway median and Fin finally landed right side up every airbag went off I must have blacked out due to the impact when I woke up there was blood on the airbags and all over my uniform I knew I had to call dispatch but due to concussion I wasn't making any sense all dispatch heard was that I was in an accident and I think I started mumbling nonsense with the radio crackling I heard my dispatcher yell for all

units to my location cars all had GPS units the car door was stuck and I thought I was never getting out thanks to an off-duty firefighter and plenty of other Good Samaritans who saw what happened they were able to pry the door off its hinges and I swear to you at that exact moment at least 20 other officers from many different towns came to my rescue it was a humbling experience that I will never forget after being banged up pretty bad I can imagine that getting that kind of response would feel good A lot of

people showed that they care about you and your safety and hey that's just a pretty nice and very human and humbling experience as op said I can definitely understand the all units call from dispatch after hearing you just Mumble over the mic about an accident not a great sign anyway that is the last story for today so if you made it this far thank you all so much for watching I hope you have a wonderful day or night wherever you are and I will see you in the next one
