I was in several pursuits chasing motorcycles, but I never caught any of them.

When people locked their keys in their cars; I used a slim jim and got in. Probably well over a hundred. I always asked folks how
many times they’ve locked their keys in their car. One guy admitted to me “five times now..”

I experienced my share of hoaxes, and criminal-initiated 911 dispatched diversions, and the rare decoy bait.

I’ve had clients yell at me “I know my rights!” and “I will sue you!” and “Am I being detained?” and I heard way too many people
tell me “I didn’t do it!” when I walked into a room. They thought they were being so funny. They weren’t.

I responded to fuel spills, gas leaks, chemical spills, and storm damage of all kinds. I followed miles-long trails of oil and paint
leaks on roadways; sometimes I found the offending vehicle, usually I didn’t. I set up traffic cones and road flares in all kinds of
weather conditions around all kinds of road hazards and traffic collisions. I learned very early on how to deploy burning road
flares so they didn’t drip fire onto my body. I picked up off of roadways and streets and parking lots all kinds of debris, wreckage,
and spilled loads. I saw a lot of roads and streets flooded, some by broken water lines and some by too much rain, too much
melted snow, or too-high tides. I saw some roads washed away and I saw flooding in houses, stores, yards, and parking lots, and
I saw the occasional landslide.
