kerbie18 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 My police department, which for the sake of my job security, shall remain nameless, has lost their ******* minds. It's all about the corona virus. 1. We canceled all community meetings of any kind. Okay, I'm kinda okay with that part, since it's mostly old people complaining about young people. 2. I've been ordered to stay 8 feet away from fellow officers at all times. Definitely no touching. That might make it difficult to fight a suspect. 3. They've got me going through gallons of hand sanitizer and latex gloves like they grow on trees. Okay, that might be a good thing. 4. We stopped having roll call each start of shift. No more group meetings together. Just texting each other... 5. The chief declared an official state of emergency. The vacation I have in two months, with 4 grand already invested in reservations, is in danger of getting canned. Argh... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Chief sounds like a bit of a dramatic germophobe. That sucks, man. There are approximately 20 Doctors and NP/PAs at my ER. We ran the numbers regarding 14 day quarantines if we start getting sick. The numbers are NOT pretty. I assume it's about the same for every ER in the nation. We could run out of emergency providers REAL quick. Gotta have Tha Po-Lease and the first responders and the nurses and the garbage men healthy. And probably whoever works in wherever electricity and water come from, too. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said: I relish the idea of not having to be around those i work with. In particular the one i call Captain Manopause. Yeah. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbie18 Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Update to my original thread: The Kentucky Derby has been moved to September. It's traditionally on the first Saturday of May. For the last 17 years and counting, it involves me working a grueling 80 hour work week. But now, it's moved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holyjohnson Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 all in all if this is going to get even crazier i`d prefer LEOs be there and in good health if normalcy needs to be maintained. besides that is One Officer gets sick, comes in contact with 20 people and then 10 of then get infected per day...... i`d ask if shooting first has now become a viable Option.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Our local police are letting criminals out of jail free to keep the numbers down and lesson the chances of a virus. The courts are reducing bails for criminals and eliminating them altogether for some. We should be able to track a noticeable increase in lesser crimes since we are not going to prosecute or incarcerate for them. But some cities/states are talking about banning gun and ammo purchases by law abiding citizens who now will have a new surge of criminals to contend with. Government is advocating more crime when threatened by an illness that might result in more crime...…………………. I have tried, but I can't follow the reasoning here. 60.8 Million caught Swine Flue, 3,000 people died and no one cared. But this is a threat...…………………….

kerbie18 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) My beloved beat, which I have protected with my life for 8 years or so, out of a 17 year career, is a ghost town. A once vibrant bar/restaurant area is all but deserted. It breaks my heart, I love my beat. I've been denied any hope of vacation until this virus blows over, and forced overtime should be expected soon.

kerbie18 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 As your friendly neighborhood police officer, should I have the power to shut down every single bar/restaurant? That seems like an overreach....I don't like this ****.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
