Patrol centre

"Copy, any word on tow trucks?" I asked, thinking about a new idea. (Is the road a separated two lane, or something else?) 'Hmm,' I muttered, best bet at the moment was probably getting the tow trucks in quickly, and trying to get lanes to either do a U-Turn, or take the shoulder. "COPA, any Phoxlind units able to block off their end?"

''PC-1 out on patrol''

No Phoxlind units are available, they've got their own traffic mess to deal with on the other end of town. (It's a two lane road, will be upped in the spring to 4 lanes though)

"Copy, PC-1, if you're available, can you close the Phoxlind Entrance to the Interpass and divert them to South Trulit, over." I transmit, checking the road again, it's busy both ways, but in one direction, traffic was moving. 'Ok, I'm going to direct your lane onto the shoulder in small groups, drive down the shoulder at 10 miles an hour, and then pull back onto the road, 100 yards ahead of the accident.' I transmitted via the PA, and I again checked that it would be safe, no tow trucks would be there for a while.

(@above what is your call sign?)
''Received I'm currently just outside the station I'll head down there and try and get it closed and divert them, just bare with me.''
*Starts car and moves slowly picking up 30mph*

"PC-2, copies, where possible, turn back the cars already on the road, may allow us to reverse lane direction and clear traffic a while." I transmit, hearing the sirens up ahead, I stop cars going into the shoulder, and wait, ready for the FD to speed past.

*applies indicators to inner lane slowing down to 10mph ready to turn in*
*stops car pulling out keys*
*attaches keys to utility belt, uncapping radio*
''PC-1 to PC-2 on scene ready to direct''
*shuts car door, walking to his bonnet*
*opens bonnet grabs traffic vest*
*slams shut bonnet*
*looks for incoming traffic, see's none coming in the middle lane*
*walks out when applying traffic vest*
*Holds hands up taking directions towards the South Trulit lane blocking all possible flow of traffic towards Phoxlind Entrance*
*Takes out Radio*
''PC-1 to COPA Phoxlind Entrance blocked for on coming traffic, possible heavy flow on South Trulit road''
''PC-1 to PC-2 road block is in place, traffic is headed towards Trulit road''

((First time taking traffic duty))

(Good stop.)

"PC-2, copy, keep that block up, and I'll get this section cleared up here, over." With the road now closed, it was easier for me to allow traffic onto the shoulder, as I knew no more cars would join the queues. Slowly but surely, I started clearing out the lanes, still waiting for the tows to arrive, and wishing we had four by fours, and could drag cars off the road.

*Looks to on the clear*
*Runs to car trunk*
*Opens car trunk hoping out road flares*
*Jumps into patrol car*
*Pulls out when on coming traffic is clear*
*Applies director bars with his patrol car half tilted blocking off lane one*
*Gets back out of the patrol car heading back on to lane one laying down road flares making a oval shape around the patrol car*
*Carrys on directing making sure all traffic are on the correct lane*

(Trunk, our bonnets are on top of the engine compartment XD )
"Units on scene, what's the status of our traffic problem?"

"PC-1 to COPA traffic is under control however traffic is increasing rapidly with the paste of the on coming traffic but it's running smoothly no traffic should hold any units up, but the majority of the traffic is affected by a hold up on south side trulit road, over"

"Tow trucks should have the area clear soon"

"Copy that"
*Takes out chewing gum from side pocket*
*Throws it into mouth*
*Waits patiently for tow trucks*

"Pc-6 to units on accident, need anyone else out there?"

*Jumps back into patrol car*
*Picks up coffee, starts drinking while watches cars being directed*
*car pulls opposite my window*
*I get asked why there is a traffic direction he needs to get to work*
*I explain to the male* 'The emergency services need through for an accident up a head all traffic needs diverted you can take the long way there is nothing I can do'
*driver drives off*
*looks back to make sure all cars are in the correct lane*
*Hears PC-6 asking if someone needs help*
''PC-1 - PC6 please could you check the south side trulit road it's getting really heavy down there over''

"PC-2 is close to reopening Lane two." I clicked the radio button whilst directing traffic, the first of the tow trucks had arrived, and was already in front of the accident, being helped by TVFD to load on the first of the cars. Since the tow trucks were all probably going to arrive shortly, I decided to stop cars heading down the shoulder for a short while, and focus on getting lane 1 open.
'Hey, where's the rest of you guys?' I shouted over at the tow truck driver.
'Five minutes out, I know one's just arrived.' He replied, smiling and pointing at the second arriving truck, which was now pulling in front of the accident. With two of the cars in lane two, and the other four in lane one, we'd have lane two cleared very soon, and lane one would be cleared later, or sooner, if any of the cars were still drivable.
'Can any of your cars still drive?' I asked the gathered drivers, who now numbered four, and their assembled passengers.
'Mine can.' A young man said, he looked and sounded scared, but it was just the shock.
'Can you let me use your keys?' I requested, he nodded and handed them over, and I quickly pulled the damaged car onto the shoulder, about twenty yards ahead, turned on the hazard lights, and took out the keys, and called the driver over, and asked him to stand behind the safety barrier, for his safety.
"PC-2, PC-1 we'll be reopening road shortly, approximately twenty minutes."

''Copy that PC-2''
*opens drivers door and jumps out the car attaching radio back to belt I then walk over to the second lane behind my patrol car holding my hand up giving orders to stop all on coming traffic so I could move the road flares, I start to pick up the road flares, after picking hold my hand up again making sure no Vehicles think the road is open, I then walk over to my trunk and open to insert the road flares*

*I shut my patrol cars trunk and run back on to lane by closing it completely with holding my hand up, drivers start to question me*

'The road will only be closed for a few moments if you are in a rush you can always go the south side lane way and cut to Jacksons lane I am sorry for the inconveniences it may bring you'

*After advising roots for the on coming traffic I un-attach my radio*
''PC-1 to PC-2 status on accident? is there any possible way we can get the traffic to go around it without effecting the traffic flow? over.''

"PC-2, we're reopening one lane now, and second lane will follow once we get three more cars cleared from the scene." I placed my radio back on it's clip, and finished replacing the traffic cones, so lane one would merge with lane two, and we'd send no-one else down the shoulder. As that finished, the first two tows moved away from the scene, and I started allowing traffic through

As I stood back, and watched the drivers impatiently waiting to join the line to get through, two more tow trucks arrived, their amber lights on the roof rotating and flashing, and their hazards going for full measure as they pulled in front of the accident via the shoulder. Most of the TVFD guys were now standing by their truck, but a few were there, helping load cars on the tow trucks.
'Hey Lieutenant?' I asked one of the TVFD men, watching his guys deal with the tow truck loading. He turned and looked at me, and then replied
'Yes?'
'Your guys cleared up this lane now?' I needed to know, any liquids would need to be dealt with before both lanes were re-opened. He nodded 'Alright, thanks.' I replied, walking over to my cruiser, to see the last of the urgent tow trucks arriving, then another was going to arrive slightly after to pick up the car we'd parked on the shoulder.

The last tow pulled in front of the accident, with only two cars left in that lane now, cars were slowing down, and I quickly removed the cones, put told them to stop in Lane 2.
"PC-2, PC-1, you can reopen road shortly." I let go of my radio, seeing only one tow truck left on the roadway, with three TVFD guys helping him to get it on quite urgently, so we could let traffic through.
'Alright, we're good!' The tow truck driver shouted, and he gave a thumbs up to the TVFD guys and me. I waved him off as all the last car was dragged from the scene, and TVFD's truck then pulled to the side of the road.
"PC-2, accident scene has been dealt with, trucks have moved all vehicles blocking the roadway, still one awaiting tow. Road can be reopened." I put the dash radio back as I climbed in the car, and pulled myself into my seat, and pulled up onto the shoulder. The cars took the hint and sped off, not entirely safely, but there were too many of them doing it to ticket them all.

''PC-1 to PC-2 copy that''
*Runs to patrol car hoping in, attaches keys from belt and starts engine, drives 5mph down the lane lining up with the kerb, opens patrol cars door and walks three inches from the door and holds hands up waving letting all cars through*
*Puts hand back down*
*Attaches radio from utility belt and pressed transmit*
''PC-1 to COPA all traffic is cleared and now flowing''
*walks over to patrol car then enters and turns off director bars*


''PC-1 on patrol''
*Starts engine changes gear to one setting of on a slow paste while watching for on coming traffic*
*Joins the traffic turning to 40mph passing PC-2, *waves* turns left to Jacksons lane losing speed to 30mph*

*Looks out of left window noticing a civilian flagging me down I lose speed moving closer*
*Rolls down window*
Me: 'Hi sir, whats the problem?'
Civilian: 'There is a man intoxicated a head sitting on the kerb shouting abuse to everyone who walks passed my kids have went passed and he was calling them to him.
Me: 'Ok I'll check it out please wait here a officer will come back or maybe me to get more information and witnesses'
Civilian: 'Yes officer'

*Picks up speed to 10mph keeping a eye out on a possible intoxicated man.* ''PC-1 COPA code 2 I have a possible male shouting to the public on Jackson street north''

As I see Kieren pass I see the last tow truck turning up in my rearview mirror, so decide to drive off for a coffee, or a cup of tea. "PC-2 is leaving accident scene, all sorted at that incident. Now heading on patrol in Trulit." I put the radio back in it's place, and turned the EAT towards me as I encountered a small pocket of traffic, and had to slow down. I shifted gear and then pulled around the slow car as I pushed the EAT away, and listened to local radio traffic.

"PC-1 to PC-2 code 2 Jackson street possible intoxicated male shouting abuse to by standers are you in my location?" ((information on post above yours))

*As I put my radio down I suddenly see the male trying to make a move when he see's me, I pick up speed jamming on my breaks when I catch up*

*Sir may I have a word I say out loudly as I quickly jump out of my patrol car*
'I have received a complaint that you have been shouting abuse to passing people I then see a crowd of people looking from there windows*

Male: UUUrrgg....
Me: 'Sir come here what is your name for a start? and how many have you had to drink?'
Male: 'Tom and I don't know'
Me:.. 'Ok Tom just wait here for my partner to arrive.'

"PC-2, negative there, I'll see if I can go code 1." I shifted the car into gear, and tried to accelerate again, only to be stopped behind two trucks who were blocking both lanes. I cursed, and then waited behind them, as they were probably laughing at all us drivers behind them, probably driving illegal trucks too, but I couldn't stop them, they were dangerous if they did anything.

*I get my uniform, go to my car and start patroling.*
"UMC-2 to COPA, show me the available calls, over"

''PC-1 to PC-2 acknowledged''
*Pulls out note book*
'First name and Second name please'
'Male: Sh'Tom Jenkin'sh'
'Me: Do you know your address?'
Male: 'Mars'sh'
Me: 'Ok Tom you can co-operate or you will be taken to jail for breach of the piece and intoxicated in public so it's your choice*

"pc-6 en route code 2, put me on scene."

'Hey, hows it going Richardson? What we got here?'

'Hi, I've got a male refusing to co-operate I say to Libor I'll ask him again to co-operate'
*Walks closer to the male*
'Again I will ask you the questions co-operate or be arrested and jailed your choice'
Me: 'Address please?'
Tom: 'Store front street 23 Truilt.'
Me: 'Ok DOB please'
Tom: '12/30/82'
Me: 'Do you have any form of Identification'
Tom: 'Not me no at the moment anyway, can I go?'
Me: 'Hold on, just going to check to see if your information is correct and if you don't have any warrants, ok?'
''PC-1 to COPA can I have a background check on Tom Jenkin possible address Store front street 23, date of birth is 12/30/82, over''
'I have had complaints that you have been shouting to pedestrians' *Tom starts to walk away* 'No come here we're not done' *I walk to him* *He starts to walk away* 'Sgt in question obstruction?'

*Grabs Toms jacket and pulls him down to the floor*

Tom: 'I didn't do nothing you ****'*he says in a aggressive way*

'Libor are you going to question some people just to see what went on and I'll see if COPA replies back with the background check and Ill get some more information from him if that's ok?'

'Sounds good.'

(Ill add conversation later)

I grabbed the keys off the hook to CE-1 and headed out to the car, spinning the keys on their key ring. As I walked out of the door, I clicked the open button and opened the tailgate of the Magnum, signs, traffic cones, road flares, as well as the spike strips, first aid bag that I always made sure was in cars and some other assorted equipment for road control. I climbed in the front of the car, and sat down in the driver's seat.

I looked all around, checked the EAT, dashboard radio mount, courtesy lights, second radio for the passenger in case of pursuits, siren and light controls, everything we really needed at the moment. Then I put the keys in the ignition, started up the engine, and flicked on all the emergency lights, before climbing back out, and doing a walk around to check over the lighting package, all good, decent range probably.
"Hey Linda, we heading out soon?" I asked over the radio, hoping the Corporal would hear me, and we'd start out on our first traffic patrol.

"Commerical Enforcement, please report to the Phoxlind docks, PPA is clearing about 30 trucks out, possible of some commericail violations there, they're all headed to the Interstate, so check out in between to see if we can't catch a few violators. We've got everything from small vans to double trailers coming thorugh, so keep your eyes sharp"

I look over at Jackson
'Ready for some fun, he nods and laughs and starts driving towards the docks'

"CE-1 is en route code 1"

As Linda transmits the radio message I shifted the car into reverse and pull it out of the space. I then moved the column shift into drive, and head towards the exit of the compound, as we reach the gate, and the barrier was lifted up for us, I checked traffic both ways, and then pull right, heading towards Phoxlind and the interstate.

The Magnum was cruising down the interpass, doing quite well, better than I'd expected, but I was eagerly awaiting a chance to get it up to high speed, and check out the handling then, but I could wait for a while. We passed Phoxlind Road and the District roads, and I checked ahead, seeing the interstate, an easy turn, no traffic heading towards the docks. I flicked on the turn signal, and prepared to hit the Interstate.
'Alright, just pulling off the interstate now Linda, we'll be there shortly.

*While Libor goes to check on the witnesses I question some more information from tom*
*I walk over to the patrol car drivers door and jumps in closing the door behind me*
'Ok Tom we're going to take you down the station for some more information and what exactly the witnesses say as you have been reported for anti-social behaivor'

*Takes keys from utility belt*
*Starts patrol car and starts picking up 5mph while indicating left to turn around to head down Jackson street passing libor* *pulls down window* you don't need a lot of information because I already spoke to her so a story would help' *laughs* *sets back off heading to the station.*


*Checks to see if

''PC-1 to PC-6 I'm going to take him down into custody I'll meet you there with some information''

*grabs the radio mic and gets on the radio*

"SUP2 to CE1, you need me to respond out there and assist you guys?"

*starts drving towards the docks code 1*

"CE-1 copies, if you're available, help out please SUP-2, it'll probably be easier to set up a checkpoint then." I put my mic back on the dash and then accelerated down the interstate, just below the legal limit, but cars around us started to slow down as they realised we were cops. I kept going, then near the end of the road, pulled off, and started to pull up near the docks.

"Traffic checkpoint, please be advised, can we have a rolling checkpoint, as to avoid the mass traffic delays that will be caused if we stop every single vehicle.. Just stop the suspicious looking ones, roll around the areas, they'll be going out of that yard for about 3 hours, so you should be able to find each one. There are only two vehicles not reported headed out of town, both headed to trulit, and they'll be going on the interpass, since the south road isn't legal for trucks their size"

"CE-1, copy that, we'll just watch them out, and grab the suspicious guys on the interstate." I put the car into neutral and leaned back, waiting for possibly the first catch, because someone forgot to check their tyres, or just fix things that need to be fixed.

"SUP 2 copies, I'm enroute from the northern area of trulit."

*starts working my way towards the interpass and keeping an eye out for suspicous trucks.*

"Understood SUP-2, try and keep traffic interruptions to a minimum, we're supposed to help, not hurt"

"Copy that COPA."

*puts mic back and starts running plates on the EAT*

-I see a container truck running EB on tulit interpass and notice the truck seems a little fishy.-

*I turn around and head after the truck, I get behind it and see it has no rear plate, so I wait a second. I then grab the mic and flip on the lights.*

"SUP2, Traffic on a container truck with blue kenworth tractor on EB Trulit interpass prior to Fort Basio Road."

*I put my mic back, I then move over some so the trucker can see my lights behind him, and I grab my PA.*

On the PA: "Trucker pull off to the shoulder and stop for me"

*I put PA mic back and pull over behind the truck and get out and walk up to his cab.*

"Hello sir, I a Sergeant Ledger with the ERT Traffic Division. Do you know why I am stopping you?"

Driver: "No sir."

"I stopped you because you have no plate on your trailer you are hauling. Can I get your lisence, registration, and insurance?"

Driver: "I swore this trailer did." *hands me his information* "Here you go sir."

-I notice the driver seems a bit nervous.-

"Alright sir I'll be right back with you"

----------------------------------------------------

*I walk to the back of my car, walk around to the passanger side, start going through his info, and grabs my portable mic to call in his info*

"SUP2 to COPA, Can I get a DL and Wants/Warrants check on one."

COPA: "Go Ahead"

SUP2: "Last of Jenson, First of Thomas, Middle inital of J for James, WMA, DOB of 08/26/1980, Local."

(Is K-9 Up and running?)

(10-4)

'Hey Linda, we got one that looks quite damaged there.' I point over at a semi truck pulling out of the docks with a dented front and right side of the cab. 'Can you get the plate on the EAT, then we'll get him on the Interstate.' I say, shifting our car into drive and following after the semi, which had a large closer container on the rear. I prepare the emergency lights, and wait to see if I'll need to pull up in front for him to see me, or just indicate from the side and slightly behind.

"Ledger, guy's coming back clean, aside from a few tickets here and there, nothing to worry over. Just get him ot head back to the docks, we'll get PPA to sort this one out. Good catch"

''PC-1 on patrol''

wrong account

(Sorry about that was on mcevoy's computer)

"Copy that. He also didn't weigh in before leaving the docks."

*walks back up to truck and hands back info*

"head on back to the ports please. Thank you, Have a nice day."

*walks back to my car and lets the truck pull out and grabs my mic*

"SUP2 to COPA, I'm back on patrol and enroute to the docks again."

*I flip a u-turn on the interpass and shut off my lights and roll towards the ports.*

'Jackson he's wanted for unpaid tickets lets go ahead and pull him over. You can do it anyway you want to'

'Got it.' I reply, flicking on the emergency lights and the left turn signal as I change lanes. I flick it off as I accelerate past the truck, and then turn on the rear lights, the director bar to the right, and the right turn signal. As the car in front of us realises it's not him, he drives off, and I point at the truck driver from ahead. He starts to change lanes careful, and I turn off the signal and slow down slightly, to get behind the truck as he pulls onto the Shoulder. I click the director bar the other direction, and slowly brake, coming up behind the Truck. 'Alright. Gotta be careful here.' I said, half to myself as I realised the speed of the passing cars was much higher than on the Interpass, where'd I'd stopped cars before.
