Serial rapists on the loose

See EAT.

Any available units respond. Use own caution for code.

COPA rep - DCBurke
PD Commander (if on scene) - Sgt. Libor (please note if not on scene, orders are to be on own caution, or for larger actions, under advisory of COPA)

**I pull away from Alpha Base at the ERT Complex and begin the drive over to the Campus.**

"ETA 6 minutes at most; I will assist patrol officers in the search. Will we have any abailable EMS, or are they all at the incident at the car dealership?"

ERT ems is not assisting this call. We received the request for PD only. Campus Security has their own medical team, as well as the Phoxlind Area Medical has their paramedics with the victims.

"Understood."

**As I drive to the Campus to liason with the Campus Security, I see what appears to be the blue Chevey Impala in question.**

"COPA, this is RRT currently following a blue Chevey Impala, southbound on Phoxlind Road near Long's Lane. New Hampshire tag number Three-Foxtrot-Romeo-Two-Zero-Mike. One driver and one front seat passenger. Can you run a license plate check? Also send assistance, Code 1."

"copy that RRT. Any available units please report to phoxlind road southbond near long's. BOLO blue chevy impala, tag three-foxtrot-romeo-two-zero-mike, new hampshire."

I run the number into the system, and while waiting for a result I talk to Tim, one of my COPA officials.
'Tim, radio the PPD and let them know we've got a car being followed with 2 suspects.'
'Got it D'

"RRT, please be advised car is registered to a Neil Wilcott. You are cleared to pull over when you're ready. Please do not approach with anymore gear except street. (Street is TAC pants without leg protection, TAC shirt and Vest, ballcap, as well as basic utility belt.)

"Understood. Looks like the driver saw my TAC shirt and knows he's being followed. He picked up a little speed. Initiating a stop on a suspicious vehicle."

**I turn on the sirens briefly to indicate that the vehicle should pull over. They pull into a driveway. The passenger opens the door.**

'Stay in the car, please.'

**The door closes again. I drive the RRT truck to block the driveway; the suspects cannot drive out. I walk out and over to the driver's window.**

'Driver, can you step out of the car for me? Passenger, put your hands on the dashboard and don't move them until I tell you otherwise.'

**The passenger puts his hands on the dashboard. The driver steps out.**

Me: 'What's your name?'

Driver: 'Phil'

Me: 'Last name?'

Driver: 'MacAllen'

Me: 'Mr. MacAllen, I stopped you for a number of reasons. First, your vehicle matches one described in a number of sexual assaults. Second, you looked like you were going to try to run from me. Understand?'

Driver: 'I wasn't trying to run, officer.'

Me: 'Well, I see you're stopped now. I need to search you quickly and detain you. PASSENGER! Hands on the dashboard!'

**A search of the driver turns up Rohypnol (roofies). There is also a black hat and a set of handcuffs in the backseat of the car.**

"COPA, I have a Phil MacAllen detained, 5'10", wearing mostly leather clothing and has a dark hat and handcuffs in the backseat. He seems to match the description of one of the assaulters. I haven't checked the passenger yet."

**I detain the driver and read him his rights.**

"Pc-6 enroute code 2, theft suspect not found."

'Passenger, get out of the car.'

**He steps out.**

Me: 'Name? First and last.'
Passenger: 'Neil Wilcott.'
Me: 'The car is registered in your name?'
Passenger: 'It is.'
Me: 'Who's the driver?'
Passenger: 'Phil? He's a friend of mine. We met in high school.'
Me: 'Why is he driving and not you?'
Passenger: 'He and I attend the same classes on Campus.'
Me: 'But why is he driving?'
Passenger: 'He wanted me to meet one of the students at the Campus.'
Me: 'Do you know this person you planned to meet?'
Passenger: 'No, I don't.'

**A search of the passenger turns up nothing of interest. I remove his wallet and a brochure for an engineering class at the Campus.**

"COPA, the passenger is Neil Wilcott, the owner of the car. He doesn't seem to know what MacAllen intended to do when he got to Campus, but they said they were going to 'meet' a student."

**I detain Wilcott for questioning. A squad car for the PPD arrives.**

*I pull into the campus police station code 1* "Sgt. Libor, what should I do?"

'Assist bucello, if he is good just patrol the otherside of the campus. I'll be a roaming squad. When halls get here after the well leak, he will patrol this side while bucello transports his prisoners.'

Please note, any arrests are to be held at the cell in the campus security office for the time being, before we arrest and book

"10-4, stabler, you patrol northside of the campus, halls once on scene will be on west, bucello has east. I'll be primary backup officer roaming around.. Advise of any contacts."

*I arrive at the northern outskirts of the campus area after a short drive through little traffic. I turn of warning lights and grab the radio mic.*

"PC-7 on campus scene, heading west. Confirm?"

*It's getting darker, but there are no one outside. It's an eerie feeling in the large campus area usually buzzing with activity all day. I drive down the road slowly, peering out for signs of activity. The radio is chattering with sporadic messages from other units out searching.*

"I have one suspect, but I'm going to let Wilcott go; we can't determine if he's involved. We're still looking for one more suspect and possibly a black CTS as well. I'll drive over to the Campus and rendezvous with Campus Security. I'll need TEC to bring this vehicle to the impound lot."

**I uncuff Wilcott and take down contact info from him, and ask the PPD car to see about getting him home. I then load the detainee into the RRT truck and tell him what he's being charged with. He won't tell me who he's working with. I drive over to the Campus.**

*As I drive around on the west side of the campus, I come across a single parked car in a sidestreet. And lo and behold, it's a black CTS! I pull up behind it with my searchlight on, shining into the parked car. No occupants to be seen neither in or near the car... I get on the radio.*

"COPA dispatch this is PC-7, I've found a black CTS on campus west side. License plate number Seven-Mike-Uniform-Five-Two-Bravo, no occupants, uuhm... Please advise."

*I put my cruiser in park and get out with my flashlight. I turn it on and survey the nearby area, then walk around the CTS looking inside. Nothing suspicious there, the car is empty except a few empty soda bottles and some general thrash on the floor.*

"PC-5 patrolling the north side."

"Checking with admin for allowed search. They said they're sending Campus security there now."

DCBurke wrote:"Checking with admin for allowed search. They said they're sending Campus security there now."

"10-4, I'll stand by. Could you run the plate for me?"

*I wait for campus security to show up, and try the doors on the CTS. The vehicle is locked...*

**I arrive at the Campus and bring the suspect into the security building.**

Me: 'Look who I have for you! Name's Phil MacAllen; he was with the suspect vehicle and he matches the description of one of the attackers. We'll be taking the car, but if you have room here, you can hold the suspect.'

**I hand them the suspect.**

Campus Security Officer: 'Thanks. By the way, we sent a guy over to the west side; one of your guys said that he found the other suspect vehicle.'

**I go outside.**

"Halls and other responding units, I recommend staying out of sight of the suspect vehicle until the driver returns; if he sees marked units, he might run."

"10-4 Bucello, I'm staying back."

*I get back in my cruiser and move it down to the end of the street, parked in the shadow of a big tree. I turn of the engine and shut of all lights, leaving only the radio on with the volume down low. I watch the suspect car in the rearview mirror and keep a lookout for suspects.*

**I park my truck at the far end of the street and I get into the sniper bay, so as to keep watch on the car.**

"If we don't see anything soon, I'm asking the sergeant for orders."

Squads, any updates?

"Halls, Security should be there, and will open the vehicle when ready."

DCBurke wrote:"Halls, Security should be there, and will open the vehicle when ready."

"Yea, I think they just pulled up to us now. Standby!"

*A campus security patrol car drives in to the street I'm sitting on and parks behind the suspect car. I get out of my car and walk over to meet them.*

Me: "Hey guys, campus security I see?"

Sec.officer: "Yes sir. This is the car you wanted to search"

Me: "If it's achievable, then yes, please."

Sec.officer: "Hehe, certainly. We'll have it open in a few minutes, you can search after that!"

*The security officers start working the door lock on the black CTS with their picking tools. I standy waiting with my flashlight.*

J.Libor wrote:Squads, any updates?

*I grab the radio mic from my shoulder strap.*

"PC-7 to PC-6, campus security is here now and opening the vehicle. I'll do a search after that, but the suspects are still unaccounted for. Probably roaming on foot, over."

**I exit the RRT Truck.**

"Copy, Halls. There's probably only one remaining suspect."

**I look around and see someone walking towards the car. When he sees the police presence, he turns around.**

"COPA, it looks like we have a suspicious person walking away from us, heading east across the campus. Might be our suspect."

*I spot the guy walking away from the scene right after Bucello's message. I grab my radio mic again.*

"10-4 Bucello, I see him!"

"Stay here and watch the car!", *I say to the campus security officers as I half walk, half jog towards the person now walking faster away from us.*

"POLICE, stop right there!", *I call out. The guy breaks into a run, I speed up to follow. We run across a large lawn area, towards the centre of the campus area. I grab my radio mic as I run*

"All units, PC-7 in foot pursuit. White male, dark jacket, heading east on campus."

*I look over my shoulder to see if Bucello is following me. The suspect is maybe 60 feet ahead of me now, still going at a pretty good speed.*


((Try to picture a COPS-style foot pursuit here. Not that easy to write one first time. ^^ ))

Pc 6 copies **I hit lights and sirens and grin as I hear he is coming towards me.**

**I'm too far from the RRT Truck to reach it and be of any use in the pursuit. It's also where my MP5 is. I instead draw a flashlight and pistol and run after the suspect.**

"Libor, he's just passed Fisher Hall and...wait, he sees you and is rounding the corner. Still on foot."

**I follow Halls and the suspect. He has one hand in his jacket pocket.**

"Units, be advised, suspect has a hand in his pocket. Could be a weapon. Use caution."

*I turn the corner and fly up the road and cut the suspect off I hop out and chase him down.*

J. Bucello wrote:**I'm too far from the RRT Truck to reach it and be of any use in the pursuit. It's also where my MP5 is. I instead draw a flashlight and pistol and run after the suspect.**

**I follow Halls and the suspect. He has one hand in his jacket pocket.**

"Units, be advised, suspect has a hand in his pocket. Could be a weapon. Use caution."

*I hear Bucello's warning over the radio and Libor's sirens in the vicinity as I speed up all I can after the suspect. Just as Bucello said, his hand is in his pocket. I hope that he isn't going to try something stupid... The suspect rounds the corner just as Libor's patrol car comes screeching with lights and siren. I turn the corner and see that the suspect is still running, now straight away from us northbound, as to avoid Libor. He's slowing down now, looking exhausted, and I realize I'll be on him in short time if he doesn't pick up the pace.*


((Ok guys, do I slam him or do we tackle him together in some way? Play ball with me here, we are three guys on scene. ))

((Libor is on foot, but isn't with the suspect yet.))

'GET HIM, HALLS! We'll be right behind you!'

**I holster my gun and put my flashlight away. I take out my baton in case the suspect resists.**

**I holster my gun and put my flashlight away. I take out my baton in case the suspect resists.**

((Oh, ok, I though he ment he took him down. Allright, let's see...))

*I hear Libor and Bucell right behind me as I close in on the suspect. Five feet, two feet, I reach my hand out and bam: I grab him by the back of his jacket. I stop as hard as I can and use my momentum to swing him around with me, going down on the ground with me on top. We start struggling, his hand is trying to get something in his pocket, so I pin that arm with my right hand while my left is trying to hold on to his other hand reaching for my face. I try reaching for my mace in my belt, but I can't do that and control him at the same time.*

"Lay still and cooperate!", *I yell out. Just then Libor and Bucello catches up to us and join in*

((I have to get to bed now, but god-mod my character for now and I'll pick it up if it's still on tomorrow. Let's make this interesting. ))

**The suspect is still struggling. I run up and kneel beside the suspect, who is writhing under Halls, trying to get free.**

'Stop resisting!' **hit** 'Stop resisting!' **hit** 'STOP STOP STOP!' **I hit him repeatedly on the back until he stops struggling.**

Suspect: 'What the ----, man, what are you hitting me for?'

Me: 'Why are you running? Why are you fighting us?'

Suspect: 'I'm on the ------- ground, man, you don't have to hit me!'

Me: 'You were fighting. Don't lie; it took three of us to bring you down. You should be thankful that that cop over there -' **I point at Libor** '-didn't run you over.'

Suspect: 'You're bluffing.'

**I handcuff the suspect and stand him up.**

"One in custody near entrance 2 of the Alumni Sports Facility."

Me: 'Anything in your pockets?'

Suspect: 'No.'

**I reach into his jacket pocket and take out a pair of handcuffs, as well as a roll of wire.**

Me: 'You wanna keep lying to us tonight? You're already under arrest for assaulting a police officer and resisting detainment. Libor, you might want to question him. Should I take Halls and look for anything he might've dropped?'

((FYI, the suspect was struggling alot. I'm fairly certain that hitting him wasn't brutality. In any case, I didn't hit him on the head or anywhere above the collarbone; they're all legal hits as far as police policy goes.))

*I assist Bucello in arresting and get up with the suspect in cuffs. Libor assists us with getting him under control. I pull out my handcuff keys and make sure the double lock is on so the suspects doesn't tighten the irons even more when we load him into a car. I straighten myself, checking if I lost anything or have any bruises. Everything seems ok, except I'm a bit short of breath from the run / struggle.*

"Phew... Ok, thanks guys, good job! If you book him in your car Libor, me and Bucello will do a quick search walk like he said."


((Good job, but let's refrain from to much hitting in fights. No personal criticism against you Bucello, I just think it's a bit much "COPS" to hit to subdue subjects. Especially since in this case I was on top of him. I suggest we use mace or just simple arrestation techniques the next time. This suspect gave up pretty quickly and all, but if we hit people it takes things to a whole new level... Still, good job!))

((Sorry, Halls, but its tough when you can't see what he's doing and you're just imagining the whole thing. Also wasn't sure that we had mace; some departmentd don't use it, but just about all of them have batons.))

**I start taking a walk back along the side of the building; he hasn't dropped anything here.**

'I'm not even sure that he took his hands out of his pockets; I still want to search anyway.'

**I keep walking and searching, then a thought comes to my mind.**

'Hey, wait a minute! Where was this guy coming back from?'

'Hey, wait a minute! Where was this guy coming back from?'

((No problem, as I said, it went well. But let's not make it a trend. ))

"I walk with Bucello, searching for dropped contraband. We find nothing even though we walk almost all the way back to my cruiser. Then Bucello mentions that the guy must have come from somewhere.*

"Yea, good point, why wasn't he at his car? It was all empty when I found it. Should we look for a victim here, maybe? Is officer Stabler still around?" *I ask Bucello.*

((It won't become a trend.))

"PC-5, can you come off of your patrol to assist us? We suspect the suspect might've been fleeing the scene of a crime; there might be a victim."
"COPA, we suspect that the detainee was fleeing a crime scene. There might be a victim, but we aren't sure. Should we conduct a search?"

10-4 units can search, I'll hold him in my squad.

"Allright... He was walking towards our position by the car from east (*I point towards where my patrol car is parked*), but he probably wouldn't be so stupid as to run back towards any victims if he wanted to escape when we chased him. Should we canvas the south-east area then?"

*I ask Bucello and Libor, checking my flashlight to see if it still working correctly. It's still good.*

<removed>

'Checking the eastern area sounds like a good idea. Couldn't Libor also just question the suspect?'

**I start looking in the east.**

'Also, what if one of the victims is in a building? They're all locked at this hour, and we probably don't have permission to just barge in anyway.'

"Yea, that might be I guess. Do you think he might be willing to share any secrets with us at this time, or are we going blind? Wish we had a damn K9 unit now... In any case we should at least do a walk around the exterior of the nearest 500 feet to see if we can hear or see anything/anyone..."

'Yeah, you're right. Still, though, it might help to interrogate the detainee.'

**I keep looking, not finding much.**

Copa, please advise if we get any 911 calls to this area. (can you guys interview him, I don't have a computer right now, and I really don't wanna type a whole interview on a iPod.)

"Copy that PD"
**
I check the call centre for the PPD, and no one reports anything, about ten minutes later, I get a call on my cell phone, redirected from 911 (I'm 5th point of contact for 911 calls*)
'911, ert'
'shit, you've gotta help me, theres a freak outside of my window, i'm in the alpha soriety hall, and my girlfriends are all asleep. He's big and I'm scared.'
'Ma'am, lock your doors, and wake everyone inside, see if you can keep an eye on him. I'm going to dispatch police right this second. We'll be there real quick'
*aside*
"All units, alpha soreity hall is reporter a peeper outside the first story window. Respond code 3 now. Possible assailant"
'Hello? Are you still there?' her
'Yes, I'm here, are you okay?'
'For now, where are you?'
'I've got police coming to your hall now. DOn't worry, we've got SWAT teams, campus, city and federal police coming right now, you'll be okay. What's your name?'
'Jamie Willows'
'What's your phone number so I can call you back?'
'723-8172'
'Okay, if anything happens, call 911 again, and I'll answer. You'll be safe Jamie.'
*I hang up and program any 911 calls for the next 2 hours from that number to go straight to my cell. Gotta love priority calling *
"Units, eta?"

"This is in progress? I'll head over. RRT is responding to Alpha Soriety Hall."

**I draw my flashlight and pistol again and run in the direction of Alpha Soriety Hall, about three buildings away from where I am. I'm tired, though, so I won't be doing much running afterwards.**

"Copy TAC, be advised, suspect may be armed and dangerous."

**
I look down and see my phone with a text alert from 911... Weird, not many come up...
"He's in. CB:723-8172"
I curse loudly.
**"All units, HE IS INSIDE! MOVE NOW!"

I call Jamie back.'He's inside... I woke up Jill, she's on the rugby team.. .We're in my room, one the third floor, about 16 of us.. Jill's at the door with a baseball bat. Hurry now!'
'We've got someone outside on his way in. Now. Stay put, he's coming up'
She hangs up in silence

"Units, he's inside, all girls are in a third floor room. Rugby player is guarding inside with a baseball bat. Move now. There's only two ground exits, the windows don't open enough for a person. The Front and back door. CS is patrolling incase there's anyone else. I'm announcing an official lockdown of that block now. Anyone outside is to be treated as a hostile"

I call Administration, and they activate the street floodlights, emergency lights in all dorms, and sound the emergency siren over the PAs in all residences. "Lockdown issued by federal orders. No one is to leave their building. Anyone outside will be arrested. Please remain inside, and lock your doors. Do not let anyone in, regardless." rings out over the PA's.

**I break into a sprint towards the building. The front door is wide open, even though they should all be locked at this time of night. I go through the door; the lights on the hall are on emergency power, and are dimmer than normal. I turn on my flashlight and put my pistol on top. I go through the hallways. 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd...**

'You, over there, don't move!'

**A figure turns around to look at me. He is blinded slightly by the flashlight. A second person opens the door holding a bat.**

'Get inside!'

**The door closes.**

'Get on your knees! On your knees!'

**The suspect gets on his knees.**

'Alright, lie down on your stomach and put your hands out in front of you.'

**The suspect prones out with his hands extended. I move them behind his back and cuff him, then stand him up. I walk him downstairs and go over to the intercom. I key in the number for Campus Security.**

'We have another suspect in custody; we're waiting on more officers to make sure that the scene is secured properly.'

**I sit the suspect down.**

Me: 'Name? First and last.'
**no response**
Me: 'You're not allowed to withhold your name. Do you understand?'
**no resopnse**

"COPA, we have one in custody. Campus Security has been notified of this. Suspect is uncooperative, but has not physically resisted."

Pc-6 to copa I'm en route code 3, a block away will handover suspect to campus police at the scene.

*In progress of searching, I'm a couple yards away from Bucello when we get the call.
I follow him when he starts to run, putting my flashlight back in my utility belt as the emergency lights come on and flood the area with light. We go into a dormatory and up the stairs, all the way to third floor.
I draw my gun while we run up, keeping it secured and ready to use. Bucello is leading with his flashlight on, when we come out into the third floor hallway we see the suspect outside a door.
Bucello moves in and goes for the arrest, I sidestep out to his right flank to provide cover. I simultainously raise my gun up to point at the suspect, removing the safety now. I keep my finger of the trigger, ready to fire, but luckily the suspect goes down on his knees and is apprehended. I follow Bucello downstairs with the detainee and assist in keeping him under control*

"All units, PC-7 advises we have secured the suspect at the dormatory. Standing by!"

*I say over the radio, short of breath again and really not to keen on running more.*

((Sorry for the big block of text, but I got caught a bit off hand as you guys post mostly when I sleep. ^^ ))
