One last story about that insufferable chief of police: When his first deputy chief quit after a year or two because he couldn’t
stand him anymore, the replacement deputy chief also had a hard time with him. Best example is when the chief wound up
berating the new female deputy chief for having the audacity to walk into a big chief’s meeting with other police chiefs BEFORE
him. I mean, she literally walked into the room before the chief. Which in his mind as a major breach of protocol, because as
everybody knows the Chief is supposed to walk into the meeting room first, and then the deputy chief will come in after him.
Otherwise the other chiefs might get confused about who is in charge, I guess? Yeah…that’s the kind of terrible boss we had to
deal with for 5 long years. Worst. Boss. Ever.

Woman was having a dispute with her ex husband over custody of the kids. She told me that she just KNEW! that he was using
drugs and she wanted us to drug test him! Right now! Isn’t that.. interesting. Are you confused right now, wondering why and
how cops can drug test random people like that? Yeah, I was confused for a moment too. Cause we don’t. Maybe in other
countries cops can grab onto people and make them pee into cups but that was not in my job description or scope of authority.

Motorcycle crash. A typical one; it was the fault of the rider. He wasn’t too messed up but his bike got smashed and his shoe had
gotten mashed into the frame and was jammed in there pretty good. The rider was able to get his foot out afterward, but his
twisted shoe had become one with the bike, so to speak. That was kind of unusual. I’ll bet his foot really hurt after that.

I was at the office typing a police report. There was a electrical surge, caused by another blown power line transformer. No wind
storm going on, so probably another stupid squirrel on a power pole had caused it. The office battery backups activated
immediately, so the report I was working on did not disappear. The building’s emergency generator also kicked on, so all was
well. Except I knew that some 911 calls were coming. Sure enough, a few minutes later CenCom started receiving calls from
various alarm companies, reporting alarm activations at some of the local businesses.
