North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 8

"Noah, there is no problem with the person you arrested yesterday. He is clean and has no criminal record. When he was found yesterday, he had no weapons and no contraband. It seems that he just happened to be unlucky yesterday at the wrong time. Wrong place."

"What about the restaurant?"

"The time is right, he did leave around 10 o'clock."

Noah spread his hands helplessly. Last night, the burglary turned into a shootout. The incident developed too fast. People who found out that they were running on the road at night would definitely misunderstand.

"Let's go, let our unlucky guy go home."

Noah returned to the interrogation room, opened the door and said to Jimmy: "It's clear, you can go back. Come with me, your backpack is outside."

Noah took Jimmy back to his backpack, opened it and checked it. The clothes and wallet were all there. Jimmy put the backpack on his back and walked out of the police station.

When he came outside, Jimmy turned around and took a look at the police station. The logo of the Pulaski County Police Department was hanging on the door. Looking at the familiar logo, Jimmy remembered the gas station convenience store robbery two days ago. A police car is also this logo.

Walking to the side of the road, Jimmy looked both ways and was dumbfounded. He had never been here before, and he didn't have a map in his hand. There was no way to find Asher Avenue, and he didn't know how to get back to the restaurant.

Helpless, Jimmy returned to the police station and found the front desk.

"Hey ma'am, can I borrow a map?"

"Jimmy, why are you back?"

Before the girl at the front desk replied, Jimmy heard someone calling his name behind him, turned around and found that it was Officer Noah who had sent him out just now.

"I don't know the way back to the restaurant, officer. Would like to borrow a map."

"Come with me, I'll take you there. You're lucky, I'm just going out on patrol."

Officer Noah brought Jimmy to the parking lot, and Jimmy opened the rear door casually, "Sit in front." Jimmy sat in the co-pilot seat, and Noah started the police car and set off.

……

"Thank you, officer." Jimmy thanked, got out of the car, and went back to the restaurant.

It was already 10 noon, Jimmy waited at the door for a while, and Jon arrived.

"Jimmy, what happened last night? The county police station just called me to ask about your situation."

Jon asked while opening the door, and the two walked into the restaurant.

"Too unlucky. On my way back yesterday, I happened to run into the police dealing with a burglary. There was a shootout. I was implicated and stayed in the hospital for one night."

"Damn, are you hurt?"

"No, I was just knocked unconscious. People from the police station sent me back this morning."

"It's fine, you go and rest first."

Jimmy went to the lounge to change clothes and lay down on the bench to rest.

Looking back on the things I have experienced in the past two days, it is really too exciting, wandering, working, encountering a car accident in two days, two cases, being pointed at guns, entering the police station, and entering the hospital. Can it be okay, it's too fucking messy.The big heart that has been trained through so many fire dangers in the previous life is a bit unbearable. In this kind of social order, it is too difficult to be a law-abiding civilian with peace of mind.

Jacob and Erica arrived at the restaurant. Jacob saw Jimmy and asked him with a smile, "Jimmy, why are you at the police station this morning?"

Jimmy repeated his unfortunate experience, "How did you know I was in the police station?"

Jacob laughed, showing his big white teeth. "Of course I know. I'm AP (Auxiliary police). I received a call from the police station just before I went out."

"What is AP?"

"Auxiliary police, I have been an AP for several years, and I still occasionally work part-time when I am on vacation."

"Can the police still work part-time? I don't know at all."

"Hahaha, many people haven't noticed that AP has its own police badge, and the police station also has a special police car with the AP logo." Jacob took out a police badge from his pocket as he spoke. The hexagonal police badge is The badge style of the Pulaski County Police, but with Auxiliary in front of the police.

"AP is a volunteer, and the time of attendance is relatively free. I only go to the police station to apply for assistance tasks when I am resting."

"Do APs get paid?"

"AP is a volunteer, there is no fixed salary, but if you attend, the police station will have a subsidy. Of course, you know, very little."

"Sounds good, can I do AP?"

"Of course, I'll take you to the police station to report in the afternoon, and then take time to attend the training at the police station."

"Thanks, Jacob."

Restaurant routines can be very dull and sometimes very busy.After finishing the business at noon, Jacob drove Jimmy to the Pulaski County Police Station again.

Looking at the police station building, Jimmy was a little speechless. He entered the police station twice in one day.

"Good afternoon, Sheriff James."

"Hey, Jacob, are you on duty today?"

"Of course not, I haven't even had my vacation yet. This is Jimmy, one of our diners, and he wants to sign up for AP."

"OK, you go to Amy to register."

"Okay, goodbye, sir."

Jimmy followed Jacob to an office, "Amy, help register an AP, the sheriff has agreed."

"That's great, Jacob, you're so sweet, we just happen to be understaffed recently."

Amy took out some documents from the filing cabinet next to her, and handed one to Jimmy, "Come and fill out the documents."

Jimmy picked up the papers, sat down at the adjacent desk and began to fill them out.

"Amy, what do you mean by lack of manpower?"

"The police academy has not had enough students for 2 years in a row. You know, our salary is relatively low here, and those people choose to go to the police academy in other states. Now there are not enough county police officers, and there are many registered APs. , but fewer and fewer people can come. And you, think about when was the last time you came to the police station? It’s been more than 2 years.”

"Hahaha, you know, I'm married and need more time to spend with my family, and Erica wants to go on vacation this Christmas."

"Yeah, so you see that other APs are similar to you."

"Sorry, AP is just a personal wish, we should respect other people's choices."

"Yeah, so we can only work overtime. Now the police station basically doesn't have normal rotations. Everyone is working overtime."

Jimmy filled out the form and handed it to Amy.

"OK, Jimmy, we will conduct a background check and notify you within three days. If there is no problem, you need to attend 16 weeks of training according to the regulations, including legal training, first aid knowledge on the scene, police situation training, physical training, etc. You can ask Jacob about the relevant content, he has also participated in these trainings. We will inform you about other content later.”

"OK."

"Okay, we're done. Let's go back to the restaurant. Amy, come to my house some time to taste my special hot barbecue. You will like it. Bye." Jacob said, then motioned for Jimmy to follow, turned and walked out of the office .
