North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 25 Failed Stopping

Jimmy finished handling the case of Dolce Marrs, continued his low-profile patrols along the way, and returned to the police station by the way. Jimmy was on standby at the police station in the middle of the night. There was no serious accident and he needed to call the police, so he was happy and relaxed.

When it was time for the shift in the morning, Jimmy returned home to rest.

Due to shifts, he worked night shifts this week, sleeping during the day until the afternoon, and then went out to find something to eat.This kind of night shift made him unable to do much during the day, which was equivalent to just sleeping and resting, and Jimmy did not arrange activities such as gun practice for himself.

In the evening, Jimmy returned to the police station again to start the second night shift.

Being a night-shift police officer is actually quite boring. Most of the outdoor roads in the United States have no street lights. The roads with street lights are mainly in cities, towns and nearby roads. When you leave the town and go to the wild, you can basically rely on your own car lights. identified.By the way, there are also large sections of the interstate highway without street lights.

For a novice like Jimmy, who needs to accumulate experience, the easiest small case is to wait around the intersection, especially at midnight.If there is a commission for issuing tickets, it is estimated that the patrolmen will come to the intersection at night to guard.

Another advantage of squatting is that it is convenient to start quickly at the intersection according to the notification of the dispatch center, and all directions are basically smooth.

It's not even 9:[-] p.m., which is quite early. Jimmy turned on the police lights, but didn't turn on the siren, just to remind the drivers on the road that there are policemen here, so be careful when driving.Don't blame yourself for being ruthless if the driver can't see the police lights, deliberately runs a red light, or commits other violations.

The American police have a relatively large autonomy. It is up to the police to decide whether to issue a ticket for violations. If the police are in a bad mood and the uncle comes, then even if you are unlucky, you can stop and blame you if you cannot catch traffic violations. The light transmittance of the car window film is not enough, let me test it for you, it is likely to be unlucky.

Jimmy squatted at the intersection for more than an hour, and only issued a ticket. The motorcycle ran a red light and turned left. The rest were basically minor problems. After a verbal warning, he was let go.

By the way, in 2000, driving recorders were not widely used in police cars, and policemen did not have police body recorders with them, and mobile phones did not have video recording functions. Rely on camera + video recorder to record violation information.Jimmy had a camera in his gear bag, but that was for documenting crime scenes, not snapping violating vehicles on the road.He also doesn't have a radar speedometer, basically relying purely on eyes to identify whether he needs to drive a police car to stop him.

The parking time is relatively long. Jimmy drove into a two-way two-lane road and drove at a speed of 35mph. All overtaking vehicles from behind were speeding, so the judgment was more accurate and worry-free.

A car was coming from the opposite lane, and the speed was very fast. When the intersection passed, Jimmy turned on the police lights and siren, turned around and started to chase.

The car in front accelerated immediately after seeing the police lights, and Jimmy could only speed up and follow behind. On the pitch-black road, only the place illuminated by the lights can be seen clearly, and the car in front only left him with a piece of taillights.

Jimmy’s driving experience is not enough, and he didn’t dare to chase at a top speed of 150mph in such an environment. After chasing for a few minutes, he had to turn off the siren and give up. He couldn’t even see the taillights. In a small town, there are many intersections. As long as the car in front turns a corner and turns off the lights, I can't find him. I didn't notice the license plate and model when I crossed.

Today's first failed stop happened like this. The key is that there is no chance for PIT, and Jimmy feels a little angry if he can't catch up.

Jimmy drove forward slowly, wasting gasoline aimlessly. The police car’s gasoline is reimbursed by the police. Whether it’s chasing a car or slow patrolling, Jimmy doesn’t feel bad about the gasoline consumption at all, just pay attention to how much is left in the fuel tank Oil is good, make sure you can return to the police station normally.

The daily patrols of the county police are basically on the highways between cities, and they rarely enter the cities, because most cities have their own police stations.

The radio station in the dispatch center often rang, but most of them were in the area of ​​other people's responsibility. Jimmy's side was relatively calm, and no vicious incidents happened.

"Adam100, Adam7, Adam28, Adam47, gun battle, Ady town (Ady town) police station requested support, switched to channel 8 upon arrival."

"Adam28 received." Jimmy turned on the lights and sirens and rushed over.

The notification just now gave Jimmy an ominous premonition. Generally speaking, there are only 1-2 people to support the town police station. This time, 4 police cars and an A100 were directly notified, which represented Chief James. It shows that local cases are no longer purely local security incidents, and may involve cross-city or even cross-county cases.

Popular science again, the chief of the county police station, that is, the county sheriff, sheriff, is elected by the local area, and there is only one in each county, who is responsible for all public security incidents in the county except for the city police stations and town police stations. As well as the security of prisons, courts, government and other departments within the county.

Usually the county sheriff will not be involved in specific cases, and is mainly responsible for personnel management, communication and coordination with the county government council and other agencies, assistance in responding to state and federal requests, and so on.

Today, it should be very rare for the county sheriff to be notified directly on the radio.

Although Jimmy is a novice policeman, Noah has taught him the points of attention of the dispatch center and the radio station before, and he still knows these.

Arriving in Adi Town, Jimmy found that he was the first to arrive. Switching to channel 8, Jimmy directly pressed the speech button, "County Police Officer Jimmy, I have arrived at the intersection south of the town, please indicate the destination."

"I'm Sheriff Sam. You go to the north of the town from Middle Avenue. There is a factory on the left side of the road. I'll wait for you at the gate."

"receive."

Jimmy drove up and stopped the siren, the lights still flashing.

A middle-aged man on the side of the road was wearing a police uniform and a sheriff's badge. He was the local Sheriff Sam.

"You're the first one here, when can sheriff James be there?"

"I don't know, I'm patrolling nearby, so hurry up. What's going on inside?"

"There are 4 suspects inside, the person who held us hostage, the name is Gina, all 4 suspects have pistols, and no automatic weapons have been found so far. They ran here after making trouble at the Green Parrot Bar, but there are only 3 of us, There is no way to handle it."

"Why do we need the police chief to come over? If there are only 4 people, as long as the police support is fine."

"There's a person inside that I know. It's a former county policeman, Superintendent Rainer."
