The real life of an American police officer: Winning over others with virtue

Chapter 16 Background
The results of the new people's distribution have just been released, and one family is happy while the other is sad.

The veterans who were not assigned any positions all breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the four unlucky police officers who were in charge of teaching the trainees. Their eyes and expressions showed that they were gloating.

"Shit!" Will folded his hands and cursed inwardly as he looked at the gazes of many veterans in front of him.

He looked at Eric who looked calm next to him and said unhappily, "Dude, why are you so calm?"

Eric looked at Will, seeing his depressed expression, and chuckled softly: "You know, I am the devil, and these painful days will probably only last a few days, and you..."

Eric said this, smacking his lips and making a clicking sound.

"Shit!" Will cursed inwardly again, staring at the newcomers sitting in the front row, especially at Jonah Carson who was assigned to him, with some hostility in his eyes. He didn't like being anyone's babysitter.

Especially since this guy seemed to have talked back to him in the locker room.

The veterans present could all see Will's gloomy expression, and they all said silently in their hearts as they looked at the newcomer Jonah Carson.

The instructor turned out to be Will, poor guy.

Eric recalled the memories of the locker room and whispered, "Take it easy, Will."

However, he also knew Will's situation. Because his old partner who had worked with this guy for many years died in front of him, his temper became a little extreme, but in fact he was a good person, the type of person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

As for why he knew, it was because Will was one of the old guys who were close to him. Except for Weston who was in the hospital, the rest were all on night shift.

The veterans who can work the night shift are basically the elites in the patrol department of the police station.

Will said, "I will."

Hearing this, Eric shook his head in his heart and then looked ahead.

At this moment, Daves was giving a lecture to the newcomers: "Listen up, newcomers, today is your first day on patrol. In your entire patrol career, the first day of patrol is crucial. I hope you don't let this first day become your last."

Daves' tone was quite serious:

"Forget what you learned in the police academy. That knowledge is only used to cope with various so-called assessments. What you need to understand is that assessments are only assessments after all, and reality is reality.

Always remember that reality is cruel. From the moment you become a police officer, it will become more magical and more dangerous than you can imagine.
So from now on, you must listen to the instructors in everything. They will tell you what to do, and you also need to work hard to absorb their experience. This will help you save your life when an emergency occurs!"

As he spoke, Daves saw that the four newcomers looked serious and solemn, as if they were listening attentively. He nodded secretly and said seriously to everyone.

"Okay, everyone, stay safe. I hope to see you all here tomorrow, no one should be missing."

These words, combined with Daves's tone, sounded quite sincere.

Everyone quieted down and responded seriously, "Yes! Sir!"

"Very good!" Daves nodded with satisfaction, revealing a hint of a smile. In the surprised eyes of everyone, he suddenly said:
"Eric stays, everyone is free to move around."

Everyone glanced at Eric, then stood up and left the patrol briefing room one after another.

"Let's go. Hope to see you later, buddy." Will stood up and said to Eric.

Eric smiled and said, "I have the same wish as you, Will."

Will shrugged, nodded to Jonah, the white guy in the front row he was in charge of, and left the briefing room.

Eric watched them go, then looked up at the beautiful newcomer, Annie, who was walking towards him, and gestured outside. "Wait for me outside."

Hearing this, Annie nodded and followed Will and his group out of the briefing room.

Soon, Daves and Eric were the only ones left in the briefing room.

"Sir, do you have something to say to me?" Eric asked curiously as he looked at Daves who was packing up the documents.

"Yes." Daves said, pulling out a document from the pile of sorted documents and handing it to Eric.

"You take a look first."

Eric raised his eyebrows, took the document and looked at it. What he saw was the personal information of the student he was in charge of, the second newcomer Annie.

When he saw this, Eric had a speechless expression on his face, and subconsciously looked at Daves who had no expression on his face.

"The newcomer I'm in charge of is Assistant Chief Inspector Ai Siwen's daughter?"

In the Los Angeles Police Department, the highest decision-makers are naturally the five-member leadership team, which reports directly to the mayor and city council.

But these five people are external appointees, not internal police department staff. Instead, they are citizen representatives appointed by the mayor of Los Angeles and approved by the City Council. They are usually experts in the fields of law, public policy or community affairs.

It is only responsible for supervision and policy making and does not participate in daily management.

Therefore, the highest executive officer within the police station is the Chief Inspector, who is responsible for coordinating overall law enforcement, strategic planning and public safety.

Under this Chief Inspector, who is second only to him and above everyone else, is Assistant Chief Inspector Eswin.

He holds considerable real power and is in charge of the Special Operations Bureau, directly managing core law enforcement units such as patrol, traffic, and counter-terrorism.

There are even other key departments such as the Detective Bureau, including the Technical Support Bureau
Simply put, Assistant Chief Eswin is a big shot in the Los Angeles Police Department and a super popular candidate for the next chief.

And for such a person, his daughter is actually his student. Doesn't this mean that his every move will be watched by many people in the future?

Eric was quite speechless, looking at Daves with a puzzled expression on his face.

Does this mean he's going to be a real nanny?
"Sir, can you please give her a different instructor? You know I've always had bad luck. If anything goes wrong, I can't be held responsible."

Hearing this, Daves just stared at Eric and said seriously: "Eric, I know your strength. The important thing is that this is the order given to me by Assistant Chief Inspector Ai Siwen himself.
If you have any questions, you can go to Assistant Chief Superintendent Ai Siwen and ask him why he chose you to be his daughter's instructor."

As he spoke, he took the document from Eric's hand. Before leaving, he continued, "Also, Intern Officer Annie graduated with the top scorer in the police academy. Believe me, she has the ability to complete your mission, and your mission is to teach this student well."

After hearing this, Eric looked at Daves leaving, his face changing with only one thought in his mind.

"Okay, okay, let's play it this way, okay? If anything unexpected happens, don't blame me."

The thought flashed through his mind, and Eric subconsciously looked at the figure standing outside the window waiting for him, his brows furrowed.

For him, police work is related to the system, so it is naturally impossible for him to resign. In addition to the work of patrolman, the detective at the next level is actually also in his plan.

He can't be a patrolman all his life. People go to high places and water flows to low places.

Only detectives have the authority to handle cases and conduct crimes and criminal investigations.
