24 Hour Shifts

I'm laying in my bed at the station. I finally got switched over to the 24 hour shift. Law & Order's playin on the TV and I'm surfing the net. It's definatly more laid back and enjoyable working this shift than it was working the 12 hour shift. I have more time to do what I want outside of work now. And considering the fact that 12 hour shifts are about to go to 7 days on, 7 days off I'm very glad I decided to make the change. I haven't had a lot of experience with the night crowd around here but I think the FREAKS come out after dark! I've had some pretty weird calls here lately since I've been running at night. One call, a woman ripped her boyfriends scrotum open while they were "playing around" she said she "pulled to hard" but it looked like she had taken a knife to him or something sharp...ouch... I had nightmares about that for days. Another call, more recently, we got dispatched to this psychiatric call. So we go... and of course there's no sheriff units avaiable to cover us and make sure the scene is secure, so we make sure it's secure on our own. I call dispatch and find out that it's a husband that's called 911 because her wife, a mother of 2 small children, also a chronic drug abuser bipolar psychopath is having another "episode" so we walk in their house and she is walking around naked smoking a cigarette with her little kid following her around, right behind her, crying. I felt sorry for the kid having to see his mom like that. We started to move to the strether and she became combative, so of course, having no sheriff backup we had to handle it ourselves, with the husband's help. We got her on the stretcher, restrained her, and of course after all that was said and done 3 sheriff deputies showed up just as we were leaving the residence. On the way there she went from violent to nasty. She started offereing sexual favors to my partner and my partner tried to redirect them to me... jokingly. It was some wild stuff. All in all I'm really enjoying the 24 it's a lot of fun.

	Rebecca Jameswrote: Ok now this is what concerns me the most--the naked chick...did anybody take the time to put clothes on her? Cuz I sleep in the nude and I've told my husband a zillion times that if I have a heart attack and he doesn't put clothes on me BEFORE he calls 911, if I survive, I'll kill him! Mar. 7
	Marcy Parolawrote: Sounds like you had a very interesting night. I sit here and laugh knowing that I am not the only one that thinks that the FREAKS come out at night. I am an apartment manager of a low income housing complex, believe me, it is true, they do all come out at night! I had a kid (i say kid, because he was in his early 20's) that was stung out on something and it was about 12 degrees and he was outside sitting beside the complex sign only in his boxers, he told me that he was praying for our complex, needless to say, he no longer lives here, but is now a resident of the local crisis unit. He was also (before this) was sitting at the base of a tree crying because Elmo wouldnt come down out of the "tree house" and "play" with him...... I was worried at the time but now i can sit back and laugh. Thank you for your dedication to the public and God Bless, Marcy ;o) Mar. 7
	Jeaniewrote: 24 isn't half as bad. Sounds like you've had a few "interesting" calls yourself and I'm just the schmuck to laugh at them. LOL Stay safe and take care! Mar. 6
	Naewrote: Glad all is well with you. Perhaps I never want to work nights. I can only imagine ... and I don't think I want to. Keep up the good work! God bless you and keep you, Nae :o) Mar. 6
