We get straight pay for holidays

[JontheAtheist]

We have shift bid every year and then you’re on that shift for the year. I could have gone to days two years ago but I was finishing my degree so I stayed on nights.

Damn. Once we get off probation in Corrections, and get our bid rights we bid to a spot and unless you bid out, it's your spot forever.

[CherryPopinski]

Had a half day myself Sarge got us hooked up. Half my squad worked from 0630-1100 and the other half from 1100-1500 and I’m off for Christmas

[TheNoob7]

Sup boyos?

I'm on night shift too. I don't mind it at all. Been getting lots of OT. Got Christmas day off.

Fukkkk that sucks man. I legit sign up for OT every holiday bc of the 2x/3x pay. I get mad if I don’t get scheduled for holidays most time lol

I like the yearly shift rotations. Would be nice to get a good spot and not have to worry about losing it tho

I definitely didn’t mind nights. The entire time I was a full time student tho so my life was a complete mess lol. Nights wasn’t awful tho.

Stay safe and watch your 6. Christmas time is a depressing time for many so be on your toes during calls and look after your partners!

Not often it happens here but 2 coppers shot while responding to a domestic. One in the face, the other in the neck. Amazingly both have survived.
POS ended up putting one in himself though... skirt. Dude was in his 70's.

Furak dude. Thank god both of them survived, basically a miracle after a face and neck shot. Hope the injuries are not too life altering all things considered.

1 bullet, richoceted off the face of the 1st officer into the neck of the 2nd... crazy stuff. Face wound non life threatening, neck wound missed all major arteries and should make full recovery.

From a 30-30 round. Gard damn.

DV or DD calls are no joke. Traffic stops and disturbance calls are where a lot of officers get hurt.

Damn talk about luck, how does that even happen? My sarge told me a crazy story once about how one of his old buddies was getting shot at and the bullet ricocheted off the car and went through his chin.

[jerseyshorebrah]

Any advice for a rookie starting field training?

RCMP not even once

Bullet ricochets are insane- we had a Officer shoot a pitbull in the head and the round traveled around the dogs head to the other side exited and hit his partner in the leg

[6spdVQ]

Hope you all doing well. Been a longtime off of here. Still chasing the dream. Be safe fellas

Does anyone else's agency place a ludicrous amount of emphasis on stats? I mean I'm not lazy but part of my proactivity as far as anything worthwhile honestly comes down to dumb luck sometimes.

Mine doesn’t - the less policing we do the better the stats as per lower arrests the happier they are

Having stats/quotas etc leads to taking action you otherwise wouldnt. Kinda removes the 'unbiased' nature of it all.
I could pinch 10 or 100 guys in a year, makes no difference to the bosses cause there aint sheeeeit they can do about it.

It's just somewhat frustrating because my squad is really big on proactive arrests not even citations really, but I mean a lot of that in my experience so far has come down to literally just being in the right place at the right time. Like I'm still doing my job, regardless of what kind of numbers I'm bringing in. Plus my squad is all junior so they're super competitive about it and that's totally not my cup of tea. Like I'm the kinda guy that just comes in, does what needs to be done, and that's it. Also IDK about you guys but we get hammered if we're clear more than 15 minutes, so you're kind of on a timer to find things constantly.

Great TV intro, no?

Wait, you guys get crap if the radios are quiet? Thats some BS. So you literally have to be pulling someone over or checking up on something etc constantly.
