It’s All.. So Quiet.. Shh
Well day one, went out into the darkness on foot patrol. After all, I’m but a Lv.1 Special at the moment!
The excitement of the start was slowly dulled by starting the day with admin duties. Having spent the working week on the PC, I find I’m not overly enthusiastic about spending my policing time on the computers. But with the level of paperwork I’m sure to see, it’s something I’ll have to get used to.
We went out walking and must’ve covered a good few miles throughout the 5 hour foot patrol. Into shops, making sure everything’s okay and into parks with children.. who legged it to another area of the park, so that they were away from the empty beer & cider bottles we found a little later..
So a quiet night. Should be more active next week, but I’m expecting mainly quiet nights while I’m a lv.1 until I start going on operations, or into the town centre!
And yes, in closing, it was my very first patrol, and I was asked by what appeared to be a pregnant 14 year old if she could urinate in my helmet.
About Me
