Patrol centre

"Show CE-1 out on a possible arrest for a warrent. Semi Truck License plate number 2864-086. Location is between Exit 3A and 3B.
We get out and I walk over to the drivers side and look up at the guy.

"Sir ERT PD Traffic Division, I'm Corporal Linda and this is Officer Jackson were stopping you today for a Commercial Vehicle check you mind stepping out of the truck?"

I ask the guy as Jackson stays back watching my surroundings. He complies and I motion for him to step off in the grass off the highway to keep safe due to traffic.

Me: Sir if you would could you grab your log book for me and your license and registration real fast. Just hop up in the passenger side door.
Suspect: Yes sir. (He jumps in the passenger side and looks for his log book and registration. He hands it to me)
Me: (I look at it) So your Jim Duncan correct?
Suspect: Yes sir.
Me: Well this truck comes back to Tom Lincoln.
Suspect: Yes sir I work for him this is his company. I just had to come down here for a load.
Me: Alright well here's the deal theres a warrant out for your boss due to unpaid tickets. So were going to have to do some checking on this one. Can I see your log book?
*He hands me his log book and I look over it*
Me: Hmm seems like you've been on the road for a long time without a rest stop. Thats a citation sir, what are you carrying?
Suspect: Just assorted items for stores.
Me: No hazardous materials correct?
Suspect: No sir none, how much is this citation?
Me: Don't worry about that were still going to check all your equipment and make sure everything is good including weight. Hang tight here.

I hand over the registration for Jackson to check up on in the EAT.
'Jackson check on this registration for me I'm going to check everything while were waiting.

*I hear CE1 on the stop and im right down the street. I pull up behind them and turn on all my lights. Grab the mic*

"SUP2 to COPA, I am out with CE1 on their stop."

*I walk up to the passenger side of their car*

"You guys all good here? He nervous at all?"

'Alright, I'll check it, but I think we should get this guy off the interstate if we're gonna start checking weight and stuff, it's more dangerous out here.' I suggested as I climbed in the car and pulled up the EAT.

****EAT****

I climb out of the car, grabbing my traffic vest with 'Police' from the side pocket, where it was screwed up in a ball. I unfold it and quickly put it on, and head back over to Linda as Ledger arrives.
'Hey sir, not sure, Linda's dealing with that.' I say, as I head down the road, over to where Corporal Linda and the driver are. 'He's got a bit of previous, two DWIs, a Battery and a theft charge.' I tell him. 'You want me to get the extra equipment to check it over?' I ask this time, wondering if he needs it quickly, or we can move him off the main interstate.

(I assume that's what you meant by registration, licence, but I'll correct it if I'm wrong.

(Yeah Jackson thats great)

'Yeah lets move you off the highway sir so we can check everything safely. Just follow us.'
He jumps back in and starts the truck back up and waits for us to get in the car.

'Hey Ledger will you follow him and we will be in front of him to take him to a better place to check everything. Theres an abandoned lot over off of exit 3B'

"Alright Linda."

*I walk back to my car and hop in and put it in park and pull out into traffic and block the lane so CE1 and the truck can move back out into traffic*

'Moving out.' I reply, climbing in our car and checking all the emergency lights are on so I can pull out into traffic safely. I shift the car back into drive, and then spin the wheel and accelerate, pulling our car into the first lane. Linda waves for the truck to follow, and he obliges, pulling out behind our Magnum as we drive slowly, but carefully down the road, since we didn't want to get the truck speeding, in case there were major problems.

*I pull out behind the truck and shut off my lights*

The truck follows us out of the exit, and just ahead I pull into the nearby parking lot, and turn off the emergency lights. I start to turn on the runlock and get the EAT ready and set up for any information we need. As I climb out of the car, I take off the traffic vest and throw it on my seat, before heading to the trunk of our car, to grab any investigation tools we need.

I pull up behind CE1 and park along side.

"Hey Jackson, Check if this guy will let us search his trailer. If not I'll start the K9 to search around the truck for drugs or explosives."

'Alright sir, don't wanna really get K9 out here yet, we've got nothing on this driver so far so weprobably need to check over the vehicle, and that's not gonna be hard to find defects.' I reply, pointing out the dented front of the semi.

"Central to any available police unit? Got a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot of Johnson Private School, caller reports there are 2 people sitting in the vehicle which has been parked there for about an hour now. Finds it suspicious.

*grabs portable radio*

"SUP2 to COPA, I am clearing here you can route me that call."

starts to walk back to my patrol car and jumps in. I shut my door and start driving towards the school.

"Recieved SUP-2, you're going to be looking for a red newer model Acura, no further description given."

"Requesting a patrol unit take that call, we need traffic units in the area of Mountain park by Boader road, lights ore out, and traffic is getting pretty tight"
(Traffic doesn't do that kinda call, they do traffic calls. Things like that, where it's non-urgent would go to patrol)

(Okay then. Just figured since it was vehicle related and I wasn't doing much.)

"SUP2 copies cancelation to Sup. Veh., I will be enroute to the lights out code 1. Any ETA on public works to repair?"

I flip a u-turn quick and start heading the other way towards my new call.

"Negattive, no answer when I called City Works, I'll keep trying. We got this from a curtesy calll or two of people saying we should get cops out there, becuase it'll get messy soon if we don't"

''PC-1 On patrol''

I pull up behind all the traffic backin up. I flip on my lights and hit the siren and go up to the intersection in oncoming traffic.

"SUP2 to COPA, I'm onscene I have a back up about 50 cars in each direction. Can you have public works expedite please?"

I pull up to the intersection and shut off my siren and pull my car to the side of the road and leave my lights on. I hop out turn on my portable and throw on my traffic vest.

'Geez this is a pain'

I start directing traffic

I head over to the truck, whose driver is still talking with Corporal Linda, probably being questioned. I start with checking the trailer, which looks acceptable, slight dents here and there, as I come to the rear wheels, I see a problem.
'Tread's low.' I mutter, noting which wheel then heading to the next side. Same again, the tractor's wheels were good, but the trailer's weren't. 'Hey Linda, can you grab me a rule or something, need to check tire tread.' I say, if it was bad, we might need to keep the trailer off road, as it was highly dangerous.

"Recieved PC 1, can you take the suspicious vehicle call at the Johnson School?"

"Pc-6 to COPA, I'll be en route to Johnson School. What is the vehicle we are looking for?"

"Recieved 6, you'll be looking for a red, newer model Acura Sedan. It's been sitting in the lot occupied for about an hour now."

I'm still directing traffic and watching the amounts of cars go by while the signal is out still.

"SUP2 to COPA, Can you have Public Works expedite and can I receive an ETA?

"Yeah, standby SUP2, I'll call them back."

*I pick up the phone
*I call public works

'Hey, this is ERT dispatch. I'm just confirming you have somebody on the way to Boader Road.'

'Yeah, he's on the way.'

'Do you have an ETA for us?'

'Uhh, 10, 15, 20 minutes.'

'Thanks.'

*I hang up the phone

"Central to SUP2, Public works advises 20 minutes or less."

"Copy that. Thank you."

''Copy that dispatch''
*Takes car around the block heading to the the city centre towards St Johnson school*

"SUP2 to COPA, Public Works is onscene, They have fixed the lights problem traffic has resumed to normal. I am back available."

walks back to my car and throws my traffic vest in my passenger seat. I hope in the car and make a U-turn and flip off my lights and start to drive towards Trulit

"This is UMC-2 Patroling to COPA, is there any available calls??"

*Gets to St Johnsone School, patrolling around in circles looking for a suspicious*

''PC-1 to Dispatch can I have more information on suspicious vehicle, over''

I grab the radio mic

"SUP2 to COPA, Do you have any Traffic Calls or any Priority Patrol calls pending?"

I put my mic down on the siren control unit so I can grab it faster for a response to COPA. I then start looking for traffic violators and running license plates.

'Here you go partner'

I hand Jackson the ruler and stay with him to measure the tread.

"PC- show me in service but i am heading to meal"

"Standby, Car 1, 911."

*I write down the callers info and write down the info
*I hang up the phone

"Central to Car 8, check on a minor Motor Vehicle Accident in the area of Union Street and French District Road. Both vehicle are off to the side, no injuries, caller would like to file a report."

"Central to Car 1, vehicle is a red newer model Acura sedan in the middle of the lot, occupied by 2. No further description given, I can get the caller back on the line if need be."

"SUP2 to COPA, I'll take the MVA, you can show PC8 available."

I start heading out towards the call.

I arrive onscene and pull up behind the two cars and turn on my hazards.

I have both parties exchange info and give them the report number and to contact our admin. department.

"SUP2 to COPA, I am available from the MVA both parties have exchanged info. I will be enroute to the station to write a report."

I thank Linda as I start to check the rear right trailer wheels, and their tread. First tyre of the double, 1/32nd inch in a few places, 'Nearly illegal.' I mutter, half to myself, half to Linda, and 2/32 in a few other places, which still isn't entirely safe, I write down the measurements on my notepad, and head on to the second tyre on this axle, mainly illegal this time, barely 1/32nd inch all over the wheel. The other wheels on this side, similar, mainly just legal, some areas totally bald.
'Hey Linda, he's got illegal treads here, other sides is gonna be similar, can you tell him what we'll have to do, and give him a lecture on the dangers.' I tell Matt as I head over to the other side of the trailer, similar again, 1/64th in certain places, nothing in other areas, 1/32 and a few 2/32nd inch treads. I headed to the tractor, this was more legal, 6/32nd on both left rear tires, and the front one as well, and exactly the same on the other.

'Looks like his company trailer's been wrecked, his tractor's OK, I'm gonna check over weight and stuff, cool?' I ask, handing over the notepad with the measurements on for the Corporal to check out.

I run out a plate on the EAT and it comes back expired. I flip on the lights and grab the radio mic to call it in.

"SUP2 to COPA, Traffic on Southside Trulit Road prior to Midtown road, plate of 4U8336."

I pull over behind the car and hop out and walk around to the back of my car. I then turn on my portable and walk up to the passenger side of the pickup I stopped.

"Hello Sir, I am Sergeant Ledger with the ERT Traffic division, Do you know why I have stopped you?"

"Hey dude, No I don't."

"I'm not dude, thank you. I stopped you because you were all over the road back there. You also crossed over the double yellow several times and have expired registration."

"Oh really, I was goofing around dude."

"Can I get your license, registration, and proof of insurance?"

"Here you go dude." Hands me his info

"Alright sir, I will be right back to you."

I walk to the back to my car and get in the passenger seat with the door open and run the guy out on the EAT. He came back clear and has a valid license. I start writing up a citation for his expired registration and him crossing over the double yellow. I then walk back up to the guys passenger side and talk to him.

"Okay sir I am back, I am giving you a citation for expired registration and for crossing the double yellow. You have any questions?"

"Why are you doing this to me dude?"

"Because you broke the law sir. Signing this isn't a saying you are guilty, it is just saying that you will appear in court."

"Awww, Come on man."

"Can you please sign the ticket or I'll take you to jail."

"Don't do that dude."

"Then sign it."

"Okay man." Signs ticket.

"Thank you sir, Here is back your information. Have a nice day and drive safe."

I walk back to my car and shut my passenger door. I then walk around the back of my car get in the drivers seat, I put my ticket book on my passenger seat, and I grab my radio mic.

"SUP2 to COPA, I am clear this traffic stop on a citation. Available in Trulit."

I shut off my lights and pull back into traffic.

"SUP2 to COPA, Any Traffic calls pending?"

"Central to Car 1, safety and status at Johnson School?"

*I look at the live map of all of the units, and see Car 1 mobile in the area of the school.

"SUP2, we've got reports of a traffic collision at Third and Boader, someone ran the light and hit another car, no reported injuries, however we've got possibility of it escalating as both drivers are arguing, wanna stop over there and see if you can't sort this out?"

"6 will be clear of Johnson, nothing founded, I'll be en route to Third backing traffic.

"Copy that COPA, I'll be enroute code 3 can you start me code 3 medical to stage.?"

*I flip on my lights and throw on the yelp and flip a U-Turn and start from trulit interpass at Fort Basio.*

"SUP2 to COPA, I have an ETA of 10-15 minutes to the scene."

"Received 6."

*I go on the CAD and mark the call complete-GOA. (Gone on Arrival)

"6 arriving, still in traffic, one lane blocked. Drivers appear to be arguing."

*I hit my lights to stage 2 (less lights) and pull behind trying to provide some protection.*

"SUP2 I'm onscene, Vehicles are blocking the intersection. I have a verbal argument, two males being verbal in the intersection. Have PC6 continue medical to stage."

*I pull up shut off my siren and grab my PA*

"HEY! Stop arguing and move out of the street!"

I pull up my car into the intersection, throw it in park, and jump out quickly.

"Both of you come over here and put your hands on my car"

I notice one of the guys is bleeding from his head. I look over my shoulder at their cars. They seem to be badly damaged.

"Sir, are you okay? (referring to the bloody guy)

"Yeah I am fine."

"Well I am going to have medical come and check you out?"

"Okay then."

"Let me get your guys ID's?"

"Both units on scene, 22:30."
*I look it the tv in the office showing the MobileVision camera screen from the patrol cars.

(On scene already )

*Walks up as they hand over IDs.*

'What we got here?'

(lol my bad I wrote it up already and thought it wouldn't matter.)

(all good )

'Ok, what happend here?'

*I say as I pull away the other suspect to the front of the car*

'Well that idiot ran the light and T-boned me!'

'Ok, do you have insurance?'

'Yeah, I got full coverage...'

'Ok, do you have your license on you?'

'Yeah, here you go.'

'Thanks Ill be back.'

*I walk a little ways away.*

"Pc-6 to Copa, need a check on a Walker,Paul, Charlie. DOB: 1990/04/23

"Comes back Valid to a Paul Walker, in good standing. Expires 02/2012. 35 Plum Way, Trulit."
