I became an Army MP kinda impulsively, found I was good at it and the work suited me.
I like being able to make a positive impact on my community. Last month I arrested 7 drunk drivers, including 1 for felony DUI. I had 5-10 other assorted arrests. Got called to 3 suicidal people 2 lived, one was dead before I got there.
One of the suicidal people was a female. Her husband got to the hospital and looked really "busted up". When the hosp. staff were starting to pump her stomach he looked like he would puke or pass out. I asked him if he wanted to step outside, we did. I spent an hour talking to him. He is a decent guy. In short I distracted him while his wife was going through an "icky", procedure. I think I hepled him by keeping his mind of the stomach pumping while it was happening. (we talked about guns and shooting)
I used a defib. on a 57 year old heart attack victim then did CPR until the fire dept relieved me. As I was leaving the scene the FD Lt. stopped me, I thought I might have pulled out in the way of the ambo. or fire truck, he really wouldn't let me go. He shook my hand and said I put forth exceptional effort while doing CPR, the victim 57 yoa, died 3 hrs later. I didn't save him but I did everything I could to give him a chance.
I captured a car load of characters that were involved in a shooting incident, 8 minutes after it was called in. A witness Id'ed 3 of the 4 as being involved, and a maybe on the forth. 2 had signifigant criminal history and warrants. There was also a golfball sized crack rock in the car.
I was also training 2 new officers for a couple of shifts.
I want to effect my community so it is safer for the good people and less fun for the BG's. I also try to treat people how I would wasnt to be treated if I was in there situtions. I regualry get thanks you's from victims, witnesses, other officers, and yes even people that I arrest or issue citations to.
