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

Chapter 43 Rome and the Horse

It has to be said that some people are really born at the end of the road. They are born on the wide Roman road, not the mule and horse trail.

This girl's family agreed to let her come here to be a patrol officer. I'm afraid they also wanted to gild this girl with a layer of grassroots law enforcement experience and create an image of "people-friendly and pragmatic".

In America, this image is really a panacea, and it will be used whether it is for election or seeking anything else.

I just don't know who her family is or who her goal is.

Is it politics or justice?

Would he enter politics as a state legislator or mayor? Or perhaps continue his climb to higher-level federal politics?

And the judicial direction is the judge?

After all, the American police have absolute authority and influence in law enforcement, and sometimes even those above them need to compromise with the police.

So, as a former patrol officer, you can get support from the police?

By the way, what is the family background of this rookie?
Eric was thinking about all sorts of things, but he didn't feel much in his heart. He was just complaining.

He doesn't have any ideas now, and even if he does, it's not the right time.

According to the system, he will continue to be a policeman for a long time.

Thinking of this, Eric walked slowly outside.

However, his idea of ​​finding a backer to make things easier for him has not changed. In this country, being a police officer is not a guaranteed job, and he does not feel safe without a backer to protect him. After all, his death physique is too weird, and he gets into trouble a lot.

However, for the first time, considering Annie's background as a graduate of Yale Law School (YLS), Eric actually thought of his unreceived inheritance.

This rookie knows the law, can he?
When I walked out, I saw Annie standing there motionless, her eyes a little straight, and I didn't know what she was thinking about.

"Rookie!" Eric warned.

As soon as she finished speaking, Annie came back to her senses and looked over, seeing Eric standing there with a calm expression.

"gone!"

Eric said, then turned and left.

"Yes!" Annie jogged to catch up and slowly stopped behind Eric. She pursed her lips and looked at Eric's broad back.

"Instructor, what did the commander ask you to stay for?"

Eric turned around and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. If you're so preoccupied, you might as well focus more on your duties."

Hearing this, Annie could only say, "Yes! Sir!"

The two of them walked around the corner, one in front and one behind.

As always, Eric performed his role as an instructor perfectly. He first took Annie to introduce people or the situation of each area, and then equipped her. Along the way, he flattered people as usual in the reception area and got the car keys from the overjoyed Sheriff Diane.

Explorer patrol car.

Eric watched Annie silently as she checked around the police car.

After yesterday's training, the rookie already knew what to do before going out. She even remembered to call her boss when she was outside yesterday.

"Sir, it's all right."

Eric took the folder she handed him, put it away without even looking at it, and walked towards the passenger seat under Annie's surprised gaze.

"Rookie, you drive today!"

Perhaps he was too surprised, and when he sat in the passenger seat, the rookie was still standing there.

"What are you still doing!" Eric shouted.

Annie woke up with a start and quickly trotted towards the driver's seat.

"Sir, why am I driving today?" Annie said in a low voice while fastening her seat belt and looking at Eric who was logging into the police computer.

Eric glanced at her calmly: "What? You can't drive?"

Annie shook her head.

"Then where does all this nonsense come from? Do you have a copy of 10,000 Whys with you? Are you asking why every minute goes by?"

Listening to Eric's words, Annie gripped the steering wheel tightly, took a deep breath, suppressed the irritating thoughts about this guy, and replied.

"No, sir! I just don't quite know where to go!" "So that's why I asked you to drive," Eric said, picking up the walkie-talkie.

"10-Adam (two-man patrol unit)-11, begin patrol."

The dispatch center's words echoed in the police car: "Roger!"

Seeing that Annie seemed to be a little tense and nervous because it was her first time driving, Eric adjusted the car seat and lay down comfortably while looking out the front window and spoke calmly.

"You drive wherever I say go."

With these words, Annie relaxed a little, but she just didn't know where to go.

"it is good!"

She nodded and began to step on the accelerator, slowly driving the car out of the police station's back garage.

51 Amity Street.

"parking."

Eric's voice boomed from an Explorer patrol car.

Annie glanced at Eric, who was lying quite comfortably in the car seat, with a look of confusion and a hint of speechlessness on her face.

After leaving the West Canyon Police Station, she went wherever Eric told her to.

But what was different from yesterday was that the directions Eric pointed to were all towards prosperous or very peaceful neighborhoods that looked comfortable at first glance.

At the same time, Eric's attitude was not as serious and focused as it was yesterday. Instead, he seemed nonchalant.

From her personal point of view, this guy seemed to be strolling around the street with a purpose, or he was just slacking off.

Eric glanced at the coffee shop on the street. Everything was quiet, with people coming and going. There were also some customers in the shop drinking, reading newspapers and playing with their phones to relax.

Seeing this, Eric turned to Annie and said.

"Go, buy me a cup of Caffé Latte. If you want one, you can buy one for yourself."

Annie looked at Eric who was just talking and not moving, and a strange thought came to her mind: is this guy taking advantage of her for free?

Eric: “Yeah?”

"Yes, sir, I'll buy it for you right away. Please wait for me." Anila said with a long tail tone, which sounded a bit sarcastic. She opened the door, got out, and slammed the door shut, leaving Eric in the car.

"This American chick has quite the personality."

Eric didn't care at all. He looked at Annie's graceful back as she trotted over and laughed.

In fact, there are too many cases where veterans take advantage of newcomers for free.

shop.

Annie held her duty belt and spoke to the busy couple inside.

"A Caffé Latte and a bottle of water!"

The couple is of Asian descent and their faces are clearly from that part of Asia.

As she spoke, she looked at the menu and took out cash from her pocket to pay.

But to her surprise, before she could take it out, the male boss saw that she was a patrol officer, glanced over her at the police car, and suddenly raised his hand with excitement as if to greet someone.

Before she could react, the male boss continued in a surprised tone.

"Are you Officer Eric's new partner?"

Annie looked back at the police car and saw that Eric had just withdrawn his hand and was yawning in boredom.

"Well, not really. He is my instructor." Annie retracted her gaze and explained.

"Do you know Eric?" she said, preparing to hand over the cash.

"We have known each other for a long time." The male boss smiled, returned the banknotes, and explained to Annie's puzzled look.

"Officer, Officer Eric still has 400 points left here. Fifteen points can be redeemed for any cup of coffee."
