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

Chapter 2 Emergency

In addition to these, the most important point is that the way to obtain attribute points is related to police cases. No matter how big or small a case is, it is only counted as one, and this case is required to passively trigger the task.

Sometimes, accumulating hundreds of police cases can only trigger one random task, and sometimes just one police case can trigger a reward task.

It looks like quantity for quality, much like the feeling of relying on luck to draw a prize in a game, where winning depends entirely on a certain probability.

Thinking of this, Eric's face darkened a lot. He has been a patrolman for two years. He has received many police cases in these two years, but the number of times the mission was triggered can be counted on two hands.

This can be seen from his current personal attributes alone.

However, Eric could also understand that everyone's body has its limits, just like some people cannot become strong men by exercising regularly.

This is an attribute point.

As for his skills, he needs to practice continuously. In short, he relies on himself for all his abilities.

At the same time, the improvement of physical fitness and skills seemed to complement each other. In order to save his life, he practiced the rapid shooting skill very hard. He practiced every day and night, but he didn't feel like he had broken through to level 5 (specialization).
However, when he added attribute points to his body, his rapid shooting naturally broke through to the level of expertise.

Eric breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since this plug-in appeared, he had a goal in life and no longer lived like a walking corpse. This change also made him begin to feel the wonderfulness of life.

"I don't know if I'm playing this as a game."

Eric laughed and turned on the tablet computer that looked like a center console. The car that was about to be eliminated originally had a laptop computer on board, but now the Los Angeles Police Department has upgraded the tablet computer. It is easier for police officers to operate, and the more spacious space can accommodate more on-board equipment.

The tablet turned on and the Los Angeles Police Department logo appeared, and Eric's calm expression was reflected on the lit screen.

This is something you do every time you get in the car. Turning on the tablet in the car means you are ready to go to work.

Log in to the police system on the tablet, enter your serial code, log in your personal number, and connect to the Los Angeles Police Department's dispatch center.

It means you are ready to go.

Eric looked calm as he followed the steps before the dispatch. He controlled the steering wheel with one hand, pushed the lever and stepped on the accelerator. As the Chevrolet Caprice slowly drove away from the spot, he picked up the walkie-talkie.

"10-L-11, begin patrol."

10-L-11 is his personal number.

The 10 at the beginning of the name represents the West Canyon Police Station where the police car is located, because the code name of the West Canyon Police Station is 10.
The L in the middle stands for Lincoln, which refers to a single-person patrol unit, meaning he is the only one in the police car.

The popular system in the police station is the partner system, which is a common system in the police force.

Because the partner system can improve the safety and work efficiency of police officers when performing tasks such as investigations.

The two can support and collaborate with each other to deal with any dangerous situations they may encounter.

So he should have had a partner, but it seemed that he was a jinx and a jinx. In the past two years, he had seen three old partners retire and four new partners resign.

Except for the three old partners who had retired long ago, the four new partners who teamed up with him only lasted for a month. The longest one only lasted about two months. After he was unable to persuade them, they walked out of the police station cursing.

Therefore, his position in the police station is quite special, and the police station has been dragging its feet in assigning him a partner, so he has been patrolling alone.

Eric was quite helpless about this, and he didn't want it to be like this.

The last number 11 refers to the number of the individual and the police car.

These three simple messages can prevent the dispatch center from falling into confusion while letting it know the situation on the scene.

The police cars all have built-in positioning systems, which allows the dispatch center to see the police at a glance and assign them to the nearest police station based on the police situation they receive. The dispatch center notification coming through the intercom was a pleasant female voice:
"Roger that!"

The Chevrolet Caprice left the police station's parking lot and came to the exit via the outer lane. Eric turned into the lane and merged into the traffic flow.

It was exactly nine o'clock in the morning.

It was right at the end of rush hour, so there was still a lot of traffic on the road.

Eric controlled the car with one hand and rested his other hand on the window. He followed the rear of the car in front of him slowly, without any thoughts or boredom.

Apart from the police incidents that can keep him alert, the patrolman's job is actually quite dull and boring.

Day after day, they basically do the same thing, with the same ever-changing police lights and sirens, and the same police computers. After patrolling for a long time, the scenery outside the window that used to be enjoyable to see has unknowingly become the kind that you get tired of seeing.

He goes back and forth along the same few routes day after day. It is no exaggeration to say that he knows roughly what will happen on every road here and where there are convenience stores.

That's how he felt after just two years.

Compared to other patrol officers who are slacking off, Eric actually really hopes that the dispatch center can assign him more police cases.

It's not just for attribute points and training, but also for killing boring time.

Seeing the rear of the car in front stop, Eric stopped as well.

Seeing the cars in front of him lined up in a long snake, he subconsciously looked at the map displayed on the center console.

The map shows that the intersection is in a red light state.

The police computers in this parallel world are very advanced. Basically, this thing is like an all-in-one app.

Not only can you query information related to license plates, you can also query other things, which is equivalent to Baidu.

Even when encountering a police case involving a shooting, the map can display some information about where the shooting took place and how many shots were fired through the output of the dispatch center.

In addition, the icons of nearby patrol units can also be displayed, allowing police officers to provide timely support and assist each other.

This is a very awesome police system.

This allowed him to get started quite quickly even though he didn't know much about the terrain here.

"I don't know what will happen today."

Seeing the rear end of the car start to move, Eric was still a little excited, because this was something he looked forward to every day, just like smoking that thing that made him a little addicted.

Perhaps God heard his thoughts, because at this moment, the police radio sounded.

"10-L (Single Patrol)-11, Code 3 (Emergency, lights and sirens required), address: 568 Coronation Street."

As soon as Eric heard this, his eyes lit up.

Compared to some police officers who became very nervous and prepared for a major emergency after hearing the Code 3 emergency radio code, Eric began to feel excited.

"Something's happening!"
