Well, we started our newest group of rookies on the PTO program this weekend...... Its good to have fresh faces on the streets, and I love teaching these guys (its a good change of pace from the normal day to day doldrum)- but guys, if you are currently in an academy or just hit the streets just remember that while your stressed learning all of this new stuff and trying to keep from getting into accidents, we are under alot of stress too. So if a senior officer snaps at you, just remember that we are under stress too but we really do want the best for you. |

Yup! When I was new I expected to get barked at so if it were to happen, I was prepared and would just get right back into th game & not screw up again. But, I got pretty lucky. I never got the full royal ass chewing. And if I could add,...HEY NEW GUYS, keep your mouth shut unless you're asking questions & your ears & eyes open. And, when its time to sit down at dinner with all the guys that have years on you,...DON'T EVEN THINK you'll be "one of the guys" by being cute & saying stupid crap. JUST STFU! We have a rookie right outta the academy, the kid's is doomed. It almost won't matter how good of cop he becomes, the dept & the bordering cities ones absolutely despise him. Arigant, mouthy, traffic nazi, Know-it-all. This is despite a couple of the guys trying to tell him to tone it down & STFU on a few occassions. The dept powers that be are already trying to phase him out. Sorry for the slight hijack, carry on |
