The Attitude of the 62-Year-Old Lady Who Hit My Car!

I was backing up an officer on a traffic stop. He had completed the stop and released the violator, but we were still roadside with our rear flashers activated discussing another matter. We were outside of the kill zone, several feet to the right of the cars when a van drove by.

Almost Introduced Myself to a Moving Van

I was working a crash at a particularly busy intersection with high speed traffic. I had been working a graveyard shift, and on my way to finish my shift an injury accident occurred. I was closest to the crash, so I responded. The accident was routine, e.g. fire personnel blocking half the intersection and traffic trying to turn any which way they pleased.

Wait for Backup! Officer Fights for Life with Intoxicated Subject

I arrived before the other officer and went to speak with the victims. While speaking with the victims, the suspect exited his apartment. The suspect was much larger than I was and was extremely intoxicated. I tried to speak with the suspect, but he suddenly attacked me.

Fighting Over a Gun with a Sovereign Citizen

As a young officer out on patrol looking for DUIs, I observed a gold sedan driving slowly up the street to one of our local bars. The speed on the roadway is 25 mph; however, this driver was traveling less than five mph, which was odd.

Detective Disarmed in Interview with Murder Suspect

During a homicide investigation, two detectives were conducting an interview with a homicide suspect who was in custody and placed in an interview room with only his right hand handcuffed. The suspect became extremely emotional and agitated, to the point he climbed on top of his chair and over a table while stating “I can’t go back,” “Let me go.”

Check and Double Check

A call for service was received about a domestic disturbance with allegations that the known suspect had pointed a gun at the caller during a verbal altercation. The caller then fled to a nearby gas station and contacted police.

Domestic Suspect Could Have Ambushed Officers at Any Time

We were sent to a domestic in a small studio apartment. My partner was talking to the female and I stood cover. The female said the male subject had left the scene.

Biker Bar Booking Gone Bad

On an October evening at approximately 2030 hours, several units were dispatched to a biker bar for a fight in progress, weapons involved. We were advised by the watch commander to stage at a location near the bar to assess the real nature of the call and confirm, as best as possible, the number and nature of weapons involved prior to responding to the scene. Fights at the bar were not uncommon, but we were rarely called.

The Case of the Diaper Guns

While on midnight shift patrol with my regular partner, I conducted a traffic stop in an urban area on a vehicle driving w/out headlights at night. As soon as I walked up to the vehicle, I noticed about 1/2 an ounce of marijuana in plain view on the dashboard, which was seized.

Pre-Planned Ambush Foiled at Fair

I was working at the county fair when I was flagged down by a concerned citizen. She stated there was an intoxicated male sitting on the back of my patrol unit and gave me a description. I went into the parking area and saw a white male sitting on my patrol unit.
