North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 109 Daily Life
Jimmy returned to the police station and continued his boring study after taking leave of absence from the leader. For people like Jimmy, a stable life without accidents is a good day.

I am on standby at the police station during working hours, ready to support at any time, and at the same time have enough time to study, and practice my loading skills when I am tired. Jimmy really likes this kind of day, the sun is not shining outside, and the air conditioner in the room Open up, how can other work be so easy.

Whether it's fitness or going out for entertainment after get off work, Jimmy is becoming more and more like a local. With plenty of time, Jimmy also revisited the military boxing and martial arts that he had learned in his previous life, although he didn't practice it at the beginning. What a name, but now as a policeman, he still needs a little bit of force to ensure his own safety.

As the police department splits up the various branches, for the headquarters, there is no need to care about things that the branch can handle, so Jimmy and Kag have not seen them recently.

Time came to October. After autumn, the weather gradually turned cooler, and the number of police officers in each branch increased. At the same time, some new police officers who participated in practical training before have started to patrol independently.

For veteran police officers like Jimmy, the biggest advantage is that there are enough people on shifts, and their working hours are slowly returning to the normal 40 hours a week, that is to say, 8-10 hours a day, no more than 12 hours a day. Hours, 4-5 days a week, more rest time than before, of course, the negative impact is that their total overtime wages have become less.

In the past, the statutory working hours were 40 hours a week, but the actual working hours were 60 hours or even more. Jimmy used to work 12 hours a shift, 5-6 days a week.The extra working hours are paid as overtime wages, or if you apply for paid holidays, the overtime wages are generally 1.5 times.

In addition, the salary of the night shift police is a little higher than that of the daytime police. The rules of each police station are different, some are 5%, and some are 10%.Therefore, many police officers are willing to work overtime or adjust their working hours in order to get more wages.

There are also differences in the recalled overtime after work. There are also different calculation rules according to the length of time from the last get off work or the next work. Let’s give two examples. They are not universal, but have a certain degree of universality. .

6. Jimmy is on the evening shift, going to work at 2:4 in the evening, and then asked by the police station to come back to work overtime after 2:6 pm, and finish at [-]:[-], so the calculation of overtime hours is directly calculated from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-].

6. Jimmy is on the day shift. He leaves work at 8:12 in the evening, and is called back at 6:12 in the evening. He works until [-]:[-], so the calculation of overtime hours will be directly from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-].

Jimmy now has extra income, so he really doesn't want to take the initiative to work extra overtime just because he wants some overtime pay. However, his current role is the support team, so his natural working hours are more than others. This is passive overtime. Jimmy didn't complain at all. The point is that he would die easily if he didn't go out to support. He really liked this arrangement.

Jimmy's recent police calls are basically trivial matters, such as supporting the state police to stop at high speed, supporting other police officers to maintain the scene, etc. This is also a normal police routine.

According to statistics, the proportion of police handling violent cases only accounts for 4-5% of their daily work. The rest of the time is basically responding to 911 or daily patrols, dealing with some daily things and non-violent cases.

Violent cases refer to vicious cases such as murder, rape, shooting, kidnapping, etc.

For cases that the patrol police can handle on their own, Jimmy will basically not be asked to provide support. However, there have not been many shootings recently, and the on-site police or nearby support police can handle them. Jimmy never got a chance to shoot.

Jimmy's paperwork has dwindled considerably since he switched to support, but he's doing a lot more other work than he did when he was a patrolman.

In recent days, Jimmy has been in a tragic replacement period. The number of marshals in the local circuit court (under the jurisdiction of the county sheriff's office, not the U.S. federal marshals) is slightly insufficient. Jimmy was forced to be taken out temporarily to serve as a circuit court. The work, and the handover of prisoners that were originally handled by the bailiffs were also handled by Jimmy.

I believe that most people who often watch American dramas have seen the plot of the court trial. Many bailiffs standing in the court usually stand around to maintain order, bring suspects into the court and escort them out, etc. Jimmy does not need to enter the court. Inside, what he needs to do is to do security work outside the court. To put it more vividly, it may be equivalent to our court security...

There were all kinds of people who came to the court, including suspects who participated in the trial, relatives and family members of the suspects, people who attended the hearing, and legal-related lawyers, local prosecutors, judges, juries...

Jimmy has opened his eyes in the past few days. The people he met when he was patrolling the road or supporting other people to handle cases were not at the same level as the people he saw in the court.

I've seen more than three or five of those guys who can't hide their scum breath even in a suit...

There are also people who go crazy and make trouble in court...

There are still people flying leaves in the courthouse...

Someone else hid the gun and took it to the courthouse...

There are even more weird people who directly attacked the bailiff in court and then escaped...

Apart from making Jimmy and the others scurry, these people did not manage to escape, but were charged with several more crimes.

As the only Chinese policeman in the county police department, Jimmy's popularity is still very high in the police circle. At least during this period of time in the courthouse, there was no case of fratricide.

But it’s different for those who come to the court trial. Some scumbags have the courage to express discriminatory language or use hands and feet in person. Jimmy is not polite, and directly takes them down and throws them to the local prosecutors who temporarily participate in the circuit court. , although it won't do much, at least multiple charges, let them pay more bail or stay in a free room for a few more days.

In public, Jimmy can't do too many tricks. It's unrealistic to expect to meet them when he goes back to the police. Jimmy no longer participates in patrols.

Of course, as a policeman, Jimmy still has all the authority of the policeman, including issuing tickets on the road when he is bored.

Marshals are really hard work, far less comfortable than when they were patrolling. Finally, after this round of circuit court, Jimmy returned directly to the police station, determined not to do this kind of shit anymore.

In addition to this kind of security matter, even if you change with people from other districts, it is better to go out and look for the unlucky ones on the road than to look at those scumbags in the court. These scumbags have their sentences reduced or even acquitted.

It is difficult for the police to be friendly to lawyers, because what they do is naturally in the opposite direction.
