In the spirit of last nights "Po Dunk Cop" thread from FL I will do a similar thread from literally as far away as you can get and still be in the lower 48. I am on the job for the next 9 hours or so and will do my best to answer any legitimate questions.

Are you splitting the county with another deputy?
I know we have two for the most part, on Sunday splitting 640 square miles of the county I live in. |

Quoted:
what's the population of your AO? View Quote Honestly, I dont know. The vast majority of my districts are forested lands (DNR, National Forest, State, etc). There are three smaller towns which I will look up for you shortly. I was recently given a "non-disciplinary" reassinment from a very dense urban area. This is certainly different. |

How many stops do you do usually per shift? Whats the crime like in your area?
|
|
Do you wear a cowboy hat or is that just Texas sheriffs and deputies?

I like this.
After you answer the dental plan question, it's winter, so the summer shirtless maniacs must run differently. How do they act crazy in the winter? |

What does your arsenal include? Are you looking for Bigfoot? View Quote Glock 34 with a X300, three extra magazines, OC spray, a X2 (that will probably never be used), two sets of cuffs, two Pelican flash lights benchmade auto knife, Benchmade push dagger, and a hardwood baton. Funny story about bigfoot...Ill have to type that one out when I have a couple minutes (Spoiler alert: It wasnt bigfoot). |

When I first started in LE, I worked as a deputy in this county. Most of our shifts had 2 on, but I frequently worked alone for the whole county

Crime is pretty much like it is in other rural areas; drugs, theft to fuel drug habbits, DV, and DUI. It is winter and therefore cold, so it has been pretty quiet...other than last night. UFC nights... |

What is your departments policy on officers witnessing people doing donuts in the snow?
Why did I not get pulled over for that last night? That officer just sat there in his car looking at me like I was an idiot. |

I have gone entire nights without a radio call. It is definately in the slower part of the county.

When someone reports property theft or a stolen wallet, say less than $200 and they believe the thief tried to use their credit card at a gas station, would you go to the gas station and try to retrieve survalence footage?

Do you enjoy the new rural assignment? What do you enjoy the most?

Some folks will bash you at some point.....but from what I know around here......being a county LEO, isn`t fun and games.
From what I have heard about, the county guys take on the worst of the bad guys while the city PD writes tickets. I applied a few years back to become a LEO. I guess it wasn`t meant for me to be one. Tell me something OP. If you had it to do all over again, would you have done something else? |

Can I work the siren? The lights? Can we go shoot your duty rifle?

I think of it more like bodywash, try and keep it below the shoulders. Considerably more paperwork when you hit up top. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Hickory shampoo. Do you rinse and repeat? I think of it more like bodywash, try and keep it below the shoulders. Considerably more paperwork when you hit up top. I don't know why. I just busted a gut. Thank you. |
