"This is why I love my job"

Yesterday I was part of a team that did a drugs raid on a crack house.

Today:
Arrive at work at 0750hours. At 0755, (5 minutes before I go on duty), a call goes out that a vehicle has rammed a police van and made off. So off we go, two-tones going flying around searching for this car, which my tutor and I found. We conduct an area search and get a sniffer dog there as quickly as we can. Then we get a report of an A-grade RTC, so off we go to that. Just finishing dealing with that and a member of the public comes over and says there has been a crash just up the road, so we run off to that one too!

Dealt with those and are back at the station filling in the paperwork when a shout goes out that the most wanted guy in the area has been seen, so again blues and twos going to get to the area, search a house he is know to be affiliated with, with no luck. Shout over the radio that he has been seen again, so off we go again! He is arrested and myself and the arresting officer escort him back to the station. I then have to sit with him for 40 minutes talking to him until he can be booked into custody.

Then we just had another two cars making off and a foot chase and that was it.

Our shift is now getting phone calls from all the “big cheeses” to congratulate us on how well we are working.

So, what have you been up to of late?

Then ta, Mr Snuggly.

No sarcasm intended, believe it or not. It's my day off.

Oh, I forgot to mention (brag) I'm leading my team in terms of work done. I can do 80 cases in the same time it takes others to do 12. Yes, that's right, 12. We're the second best team overall, and quite frankly, that's because of just one or two of us in a group of 15 are good at what we do. And I'm the best of the lot. Oh yes.

yes, ploice

only about 8 hours a day - suck it up, soldier.

Or sargent.

Or ploiceperson.

fool

I'm sensing sarcasm, but I aren't sure... My senses aren't what they used to be...

Well shucks, Snuggly. I'd even blush if the cynical copper in me didn’t think that, that was possibly sarcasm.

If it's not, then I am working a Friday and Saturday night shift this week, so there will no doubt be stories.

60-hour week! Think of the money, English_Bloke. Think. Of. The. Money...and don't refer to yourself in the first person. It made The Rock look a tw*t and it does no favours for you! Damn...
