Nick says it’s one of the most disgusting sights, the garage is another bedroom where they sleep. There is the crack altar where they smoke it, paraphernalia where they smoke, down here is the toilet on the floor. It’s a bucket. This is a typical crack house, that’s why the close them down.

He first saw him in the West Hollywood jail and interviewed him there. Did AIDS come up? He initiated it. He told him what happened on the arrest and he asked him if he had AIDS. He said he knew 6 weeks ago he had AIDS. He asked him why he was still soliciting if he knew this. He doesn’t care about anyone else and hopes they will all get it.

• (7:45 PM Shooting Call) Sheriff’s Dept. Homicide Bureau – Sgt. Ray Verdugo says they are seeing a lot of homicides, a vast increase. Last year was a record-breaking year in the entire county and this year they are ahead of last year. There seems to be an underlying sense of frustration and anger unleashing real rapidly, people seem to have a shorter fuse and are more angry about lesser things. The wrong look will kill you. He often sees it as fame or infamy. If you can’t be famous, be infamous – try to assassinate the president. Be known in your own crowd as the meanest guy or the guy who shot and killed someone. It’s a tragedy. If he had the job and the education maybe he could give you the answer why. On patrol he says it is a warm, beautiful night, very comfortable, one of those unfortunate things that brings people to southern California. There is a murder in the Fireside station on Hopper in South Central. Detective Dave Castillo and Deputy Tanya Edwards are on scene. She says the guy and his 6 buddies were dancing and having a ball with their shirts off. Then 8 guys came up to them and told them to put their shirts back on which they refused and a fight ensued between all 14 of them. One guy pulled out a semi-automatic, then another came out. One is DOA and there are 7 injured. The mans body is in the street and they take pictures. His sister ID’s the body. Several witnesses come forward to talk to them including people involved and hopefully the suspect, but it’s a pipe dream. He’s an 18-19 year old youthful looking guy shot dead in the street for no reason. He took off his shirt, was dancing at a party and someone took offense and shot him dead. It’s ludicrous, but a sign of the times. A guy at the station says the shooter fired 3-4 shots at Marco. Another witness says in Mexico quite often they take a stand of revenge. If someone kills a good person, they seek revenge to kill them. He is only 15, but would kill him if he had a gun. A man is killed and a cousin will hunt them down. They don’t judge, but if they apply customs from another land, this person will get justice if they don’t get him first. Some friend or relative will get him. If he goes back to Mexico, they will kill him.
• (2:45 PM) South East County – Sheriff’s Station (911 Call Choking Child) Deputy David Halm takes the call of a baby having a seizure inside a supermarket.

They don’t see anyone coming at him. He says a woman walked out of her apartment with her dog. There was a figure in the front corner of the apartment, he has his left arm up right now. His finger was pointing at them, he had a gun and they zoomed in on all fours. He heard the man call in, he said homosexuality had to be stopped at all costs. It was pretty aggressive. Sean says it all looks normal to him. He says they split right before they came in a car. There’s nothing they can do now, call us again if you see them.

(4:18 PM Warrant Served) It’s 50 off the road. They run out, open a large gate then spread out. There are a bunch of sheds and camper tops from trailers and they find a guy and a woman in a wooden box. Another guy comes out and they give her the warrant to search the place. There is a sign that reads “Attack cat on duty.” The only way to get into their “house” is a wooden corridor connecting the trailers that is filled with trash. The woman gets up and they make her sit down, she says it’s probably her husband’s brother and her son Mike beat her up. They say it is such a mess that they want her to show them where the drugs are. He can’t go back in there because it smells so bad, the worst he’s ever found. They find bags, boxes and cups full of drugs. She says she’s tried to clean it, but only has one day off a week. There is garbage and boxes piled up all over and they hate it.
• (10:47 Fight at Club) West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station – Deputy Sean Collingsworth finds a group of people surrounding a man on the ground with bandages. A woman says has 25 witnesses who saw a man jump the guy and beat him up. They say his girl went in the club with his ticket and he went to get her and they jumped him. A guy pushes his way up and Sean cuffs him. A guy in a big hat and fringe jacket says Red threw the first punch and he’s the one they cuffed. Sean calls for backup and says it was the bouncers who did this, the second one is inside. Fire rescue arrives. The guy is totally bloody and they beat him when he was down. Sean looks for people to go inside to ID the other guy. The victim says they kicked him in the face and he can barely keep his head up. They ask him where it hurts, he says his head. People cheer when they bring the other guy out in cuffs. The bouncers stopped the guy from going in and the manager is the one who started kicking. The Sgt. says the manager is responsible. The witnesses say he only kicked him once. They pull Red out and ask him what happened. He says the victim was thrown out and he came back in looking for his girlfriend. He told him to leave and they fought. He held him down and they victim tried to kick and punch him and the other guys. He hit him and didn’t see anyone kick him. So he is arrested too.

• (7:58 PM Suspicious Person) LA County, Malibu Sheriff’s Station – Deputy Gary Spencer says Malibu is different than lots of locations because of the greater distance, sometimes it takes more than 15 minutes to get to a call. People are people whether they are criminals or car thieves, it doesn’t matter where you work, there’s law enforcement to be done. He stops a car and Brian the driver says he’s never been arrested before. Gary says he has two kinds of weed on him. Deputy Daniel McCann tells him he’s in trouble and he swears it’s not his and can show the keys. (10:50 PM Drug Investigation) They have Brian call in to make a deal with his buyer. (11:27 PM) They have him, it’s Saturday night, time to go to jail. The dealer is an obese white guy with a mullet in a fancy white pickup truck. He’s so big they need 2 handcuffs and might even need 3. They find a wad of cash and high quality cocaine off a kilo brick. The size and type leads them to believe he is a dealer and they write up a search warrant, present it to Judge Lawrence Mira and go to his house. (1:45 AM) They arrive at the judge’s house, he signs it and Gary swears on it. (2:40 AM Warrant Served) They bang on the door and get no answer, so they kick it in. They find an ounce of coke in the closet, a shotgun and shells in the bedroom. They started their shift at 5pm and now it’s over at 4am. They’ll file the paperwork and hopefully be done at 6:30am, get home and start again tomorrow.

Let them know they are going to state prison so they won’t go out and rip off cars. Deputy David Halm listens. (5:40 PM Traffic Stop) David spots a car with no registration. He pulls out Robert the driver who knows his headlights are out. He says he has no guns or drugs, he just forgot to put the lights on. He wasn’t putting anything under the seat where they saw him digging, but they find a pellet gun there. He likes to target shoot. They find black face makeup in the trunk. He says it’s from Halloween, he doesn’t clean his car out much. Dave asks if he’s doing any robbery. He says no, but has been in jail seven times. He was arrested for meth, but hasn’t done it since the last time he was in jail. He has a massive key ring with hotel keys. He says he just picked them up and collects them. He claims he owned seven cars at one time, but there is more than seven sets of keys. They had a robbery a couple weeks ago by a man in black face. They don’t know all the details, so they’ll take him in to run him. He claims the makeup is for his kids’ costume. (7:15 PM Robbery Investigation) They go to the supermarket that was robbed a couple weeks ago. They find a bagger who was there that night. He said the guy had a painted face and a gun. He didn’t see the gun and he also had a fake beard. A woman says he showed the gun in his jacket. It sounds like their suspect so they go back to the station and read the report. The guy left on foot, was wearing makeup, possibly a white male. They are going to book him for robbery.
• (8:11 PM Multiple Shooting) They are looking for suspects wearing masks who had AK-47s. They picked the suspects out and executed them. David pulls up to a body shop and there is blood and guts on the street. Deputy Eric Stewart was first on the scene. One guys’ leg was blown off, another guy was shot in the gut and his intestines came out. Deputy Fred Bertsche talks to one guy. They were watching Star Search, working on their cars, putting a radio in and then the shooting started and he split. EMS comes in and treats people. EMS says the first guy was across the street with an ankle wound, two guys were by the Pepsi machine with one with a head wound and the other was eviscerated, a guy was by the car with his stomach shot open and the fifth victim got over the fence and cut his foot open. Sgt. Cole Hughes says they chased the people through the parking lot and fired at them. They found a 308 shell, a large round. A woman was on the phone calling the police and heard someone yell, “Where’s the money? Get on the floor!” One had a red rag in their pocket so it seems gang related. They had a gang shooting two weeks ago where kids shot at cops with AK-47s. They think they know where the guys are. It’s ironic that up on the wall is a Crimestoppers security alarms sign. They install them in cars, but not on their own door.

The man rang the bell, makes loud complaints and curses. They spot the guy walking with a red bag and they go out to talk to him and he fights so three cops jump him and hold him against the car and cuff him. He says, “Ow! Ow! My little animals, there are little animals in the red case. They look dead, but they’re alive. Ow! Ow! Ow! I am a cripblood, I am a god.” They laugh at him. He has a long coat, white scarf, orange shirt and a brown turtleneck. He screams they are hurting him so bad, his animals are alive, don’t let them take his butterfly and little hummingbird by these pig bastards. He swears to god. He can remain silent, they would prefer it. The butterfly has a number on it’s wing “Mail to entomology, natural history museum, Los Angeles, CA.” Gary tells him they look like they are doing a good job of playing dead.

They shot her and robbed her of $1100, then the next time they took $400. She didn’t know she was shot, she heard that a bullet wound doesn’t hurt, but it hurt. There was a hole in her shoe, it went through the first and second toe, went up and broke it in 3 pieces. She’s got someone to rough him up. She won’t call the cops because the girls will beat him up. He says let them take care of it. She says they hate her. He asks her if she wants to get off the street. She says yeah, but how? He says to work with him and arrest this guy, get the SOB off the street. She says to talk to her tomorrow. She’s going home to change because no one will pick her up since she looks like she’s handicapped. They just won’t do the right thing.

• (11:20 AM Saturday) LA County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Investigation – George calls the police to say his wife is lying on the floor it looks like someone broke into his house and stabbed her. He didn’t check the body to see if she’s breathing. The dispatcher tells him to check. She’s dead in a large pool of blood. He called into Lakewood Station at 8:33am, said he woke up and found her. Lt. Joe Brown investigates, talks on the phone and has a theory about it. They check the closets and the fridge, but there is no alcohol in the house. They talk to the neighbor. He’s known them for years, they have no problems and he saw them a few days ago to pay the rent. He has no idea why someone would want to kill her. They check the stab wound and see it was a large wound that must’ve been 12 inch knife. They roll her over and to take pictures. They load the body up and the blood is leaking through the sheets. They find the murder weapon and there is nothing stolen, nothing ransacked. The husband was home when they got there. They are going to talk to the husband and stepson at the station. (2:38 PM Homicide Bureau) They ask George his story. He usually sleeps late, but he woke up early. She was already up, so he decided to get up. He’s slow to get dressed and took five minutes. He opened up the door and she was lying there in a pool of blood. They say there is a problem, something happened this morning. They all know he murdered his wife and he can’t face up to the fact that he did it. Something happened to make him mad. How did the blood get on the top of his shoes? He says he doesn’t know what it was, it was there for days. He thought it was her paint or Crayolas.
• (4:46 PM Homicide Bureau) They ask if he washed his hands after finding her. They take samples from between his fingers to see if he has blood stains. If it’s positive it’ll change to purple or pink and it won’t matter if he washed his hands. His hands are very sweaty and he says it’s from his medication. She continues to swab his hands. It’s not a specific blood test, it’s presumptive to allow them to investigate further. They pull out his shoes that have red on them as well as hair and possible brain matter. They talk to the stepson and ask if George is capable of harming his mother. He doesn’t know, she met him when he was 5 and he’s 18 now. He’s never seen him get mad, he raised his voice once in a great while and he’s a soft mellow person. He wants to know if someone else besides George stabbed her. They don’t know. He wants to know where she is. They say at the coroner’s office. (1:10 PM Tuesday) Crime Lab – It turns out she wasn’t stabbed, she was shot in the back of the head and it shattered. They want the shoe analyzed for brain matter. He told them that he approached he wife from behind between her legs and touched her from the back, but the pool of blood was by her head. She analyzes the Reebok tennis shoe in a lab. There was no exit wound. She puts the shoe on a microscope and they wonder about the power. She says the red is clear like strawberry jam, certainly not blood. His story is going to stand, maybe she let someone in. They’ll have to get prints from the knife, maybe she stabbed the suspect and he stabbed her. She brought a knife to a gunfight. (2:30 PM Friday) There are no prints on the knife and no motive for the husband. It could’ve been a rapist or an opportunist. George says when he went to call 911 the phone was unplugged. He had to plug it back in. It’s always plugged in because he has a recorder for the rental properties he owns. Maybe someone got in with a phone company uniform.
• Temple City Sheriff’s Station (911 Call Assault with a Deadly Weapon) A woman calls about an attack from a man in a green Jeep with a white top. He just got on the freeway and they go to look for it. They spot a pickup truck heading west with a bunch of junk in the back with a tarp over it. There are three people in the truck, one child. It’s heavy traffic so they can’t make a stop. (5:11 PM Felony Stop) They pull him over on Rosemeade Blvd. He’s an older Mexican guy in a cowboy hat. They pull him out at gunpoint and tell him it’s not a joke. Then they call the younger Mexican guy out and tell him to put his hands out the window, but he doesn’t listen. The white male passenger tries to get out to, and they yell at him to get back in. He finally gets out and is filthy. The suspect is Jessie Barber wanted in the murder of George’s wife, but this guy’s not the one. Deputy Patrick Martinez says to cut them loose and explain what happened. Deputy Ann Brannon has to explain. There was a serious crime down the street that matched the description. He thought he was the one blasting the radio in front of him. They just did an excavation site and scared the crap out of them. They let them go.

• (Tactical Team Briefing) Deputy Chief Doug Smith says they asked Ken to come out to talk to him for neighborhood problems – smell and trash. They are trying to make contact with him and find out from neighbors if anyone else lives there since he could have hostages. The teams face is covered, they are inside perimeter, they can use gas on him if necessary. If he has a long rifle he can get them. They have to stay back and use high risk entry tactics. The team has to survey the house, will be close enough where he could hit them with a rock.
• (Negotiation Team Command Post) Neighbors stated he suffered a head trauma injury in WWII, but has never been to the hospital for mental illness, he has very poor eyesight, cataracts, heavy smoker, emphysema, bronchitis, hasn’t drank for 13 years, but if he’s drinking again he’ll be very hostile and, negative. He just was in detox 2 weeks ago – a good sign he’s been drinking again. His personal info is on the board “DOB 8/20/27 or 29, divorced, ex-wife Mildred (lives with Gail) alcoholic who gets hostile when he drinks, has 4 children.” One cop knows him, didn’t know he was a problem. Sgt. Charles Resch says he’s a loner, has 3 or 4 old cars, his mom died 8 years ago, he’s kind of weird. The cop who was shot at says it went right between them, splinters of the door hit him. Officer Rick Stanek says he has a 300 rifle, 3-4 shotguns with ammo, a German Luger, 38 & 45 revolver and a 25 automatic according to his son. Two weeks ago he called in for a report and they took him to detox instead of taking a report so he’s mad at the cops. They get a call of an attic. Cops back up with blast shield, they run behind a car, stay low. They hide behind a car, want to get close to shoot gas and others wait next door at 4800. They want to negotiate, get him on the phone, if he won’t answer they’ll throw in a phone. Anything to talk him out, gas is the last chance, no turning back then. Sgt. Robert Gretton explains about the phone they are throwing in that will go back to the team directly to negotiate with them. The team goes up heavily armed with a shield, one smashes the window with a crowbar and the next tosses the phone in a bag. They call at 4:44 PM that it is in. They beep it from the station and Larry calls for him to pick up. Outside they call in to pick up the phone. Larry wants to help, tells him open it up and pick it up. He picks up. He doesn’t blame him, they are both sick of listening to the beeper, what’s going on? He can hear him. Then he hangs up.
• (6:25 PM) He said he’s sick of the beeping and cut the line. Officer Dave Mattson is outside in camo gear. They want cold beers, fresh women and a pizza. Larry calls again. Sgt. John Hennessy says to be very authoritative, this is what they want him to do, no more playing around, for his own good.
• (8:08 PM) Larry tells him he has to talk to him. Ken says he had to tend to his dog’s foot and put peroxide on it. What’s all the yelling about? They want to talk to him. He says they like to hear themselves talk it’s so loud. Larry says it’s been an hour and half since he talked to him. People are going to react to him. What is it going to take to get him out? He wants Cordell and Ruben Johnson. He says Cordell is there. He says he’s not. That’s what they tell him, he can’t come on though. He won’t trust a cop, it’s like trusting Dillinger. Larry says if he puts Cordell on will he come out. He might. If he does something for Ken he has to so something for him. The team outside creeps around to get drinks and come back, knees are killing them and they are thirsty. They cut his power. He doesn’t give a crap, doesn’t need it. He needs him to come out, he has people lined up. Are you afraid of getting hurt? He’s seen those trigger happy sons of bitches in action. Larry says with all the people and the press around they aren’t going to get trigger happy. He has to help him though. He promises if he comes out he’ll secure the house and take the keys to his sister. He says he’ll consider coming out if he can bring his dog with him. He can’t do that. He’ll turn him over to his son Dustin though and leave him in the basement. Sgt. Robert Skmora listens. Larry says to put him down and come back. He says for tactical to get set up. It’s dark now.
• (9:39 PM) The plan is for him to come out. He wants to go to the VA. He was in 20 years ago for violence. He wants to see the SOB he talked to last time. Is he still there? He saw his name on the list. He wants to tell him how full of crap he is. If he tells him he’ll take him to the VA and they won’t accept him then what? That’s a different story, he doesn’t know, he won’t have any power then. They’ll talk to the people later. He wants them to talk now, later is crap. What else will it take to get him out? They worry about what they’ll do with him in the future. Dr. Steve Geiger, Psychological Consultant says they have to worry about that, can’t lie to him. He’ll say I listened to him once, he won’t again. He has access to lots of weaponry and will in the future. When he comes out they’ll place him under arrest and clear the house. Ken asks what does he want him to do. He wants him to walk out with his hands up, stand on the steps and listen to the officers for what to do. They call the tactical team that he is ready. He comes out in a dirty blue street and hat. They tell him to walk to them and turn around, down on his knees, keeps hands up, then lay on his stomach. Two guys go over and cuff him. They are worried about other people inside, but he says there is no one. They take him to the car. He says again he’s alone. Officer Riley Gilchrist comes over to Larry and shakes his hand and hugs him, good work. Ken got pissed that they were yelling at him outside and he came to the phone. Inside they show the two bullet holes in the door. There is a 30-30 on the couch. He had a gas mask next to him, he was prepared. He has a semi automatic, lots of riles and ammo there. It would’ve been a hell of a battle. The place is a mess and there are pill bottles all over the tables. Chief John Laux arrives and tells them it’s recorded for posterity and will show they take a backseat to nobody, they are the best they proved it again tonight, nice job. The suspect was charges with second degree assault and released on bail the following day.

They hold him back and he fights because he doesn’t like to be restrained. He says he can walk out on his own. They say OK and the guy runs out. He comes back in with a gun and says for the cops to let her go or they’ll get shot. They both run out. That’s two in a row they screwed up. Dave says if they can’t win don’t go forward.

Officer Greg Hirsch says the hat is a Wrigley field diamond which looks like an A (9:10 PM) The ambulance is working on the victim with two gun shots in him. A witness with long dreadlocks says he saw him when he was sitting in front of his house and ID’s him. It was a shooting at a crack house. The suspect was chasing the victim in his car, he hit an innocent car, crashed into a tree and the guy jumped out and shot him three times. He has a bunch of rock on him, might be a drug deal gone bad. The shooter gives him three different stories – he was watching TV with his girlfriend, then can’t remember the show, then wasn’t watching TV. (10:31 PM) The suspect is brought in. Mike says for the first day it feels good, after the years of college and school, now it starts to pay off. On the first day you want to catch all the bad guys.
• (4:35 PM Assistance Call) He says all rookies get in a mind set like they are going to change the world. One cop told him you aren’t going to change the world, just go out and make your little dent. After 20 years there will be someone behind you to do the same thing. A call of a confused elderly lady at a downtown store comes in. The woman says she missed the bus and was short on taxi fare. She’s a government worker, on SSI and gets a check every third work. She’s well known and called the police for a ride because she was always told to call a cop when she was in trouble. So they give her a ride. (5:20 PM) She says she works and is a good woman who earns a living. (9:21 PM 911 Call Assault in Progress) They spot a Mike, black guy in a yellow hat with his shirt falling off and put him in the car. The victim has a thick Russian accident. He says the guy attacked his friend, came up to him, was on drugs and took his watch. His friend comes up with a shirt wrapped around his head, his face is bruised, bloody and he needs stitches. He hit him with his fists and they ran to the gas station and found a pipe to defend themselves. Mike says those two guys attacked him and ripped his jacket, he doesn’t know why and he hasn’t been drinking. Officer Larry Krebsbach puts him in the ambulance. Officer Laurie Janikowski finds a watch in Mike’s pocket and asks the victim to describe it. He says it’s a cheap gold Rolex and it’s broken, because he broke it. It’s a match. (10:08 PM) Out there you are dealing with average people, good and bad. Arresting a felon, helping an old lady back home, it’s part of the job.

Minneapolis, MN 3 – Women Cops

• (8:13 PM Domestic Disturbance) Third Precinct – Officer Janee Harteau says the main reason she became a cop because it was challenging, not a controlled environment, you deal with all kinds of people from all races and all levels of poverty from rich to poor. It’s different, but everyone’s the same. It’s easier to talk to people when you are a female. They were brought up to talk first, physical next. Officer Holly Keegel has a blonde short puffy mullet and says originally was going to be a teacher, but took some law courses and really enjoyed it. She took more classes and decided to pursue law. They go into a backyard and there is a dirty white guy with a heavily stained shirt sitting there. He says he lives there, looks drunk and has trouble standing up They lead him around front to search him, find nothing, put him in the car and he flips out. He curses at them and says he didn’t break any law and won’t fully get in. The woman in the house says he’s her brother. He’s an alcoholic, one of the nicest guys when sober, but when drinking you stay away from him. They go back to him and he says “take it easy, I don’t care who you are, what are you trying to do, why don’t you stop?” They want him out so they can cuff him. He struggles, goes down, his shirt comes up and he tries to roll away when they go to cuff him. Holly puts her knee on his head. He curses them and says something about them failing training. Janee says it doesn’t matter that they are women, they aren’t messing around. They aren’t getting away with it.
• On their off time we see Janee playing the drums with black gloves while Holly plays the keyboards in the garage. Holly took piano lessons for a little while, but gave it up to play sports. She can’t read music, but plays by ear. She wears short pink shorts and a Guess top. Janee sings, she was in a band, so they got together and thinks they can really do good some day if they pursue it. It’s a great stress reliever away from the job. (10:03 PM Theft in Progress) A young black kid was seen running. They pull up and Holly runs out and catches him. She stands on him and cuffs him. He was on a motorcycle and she brings him to the backup unit and puts him in the car. She goes back to the Vespa scooter. Sgt. Tom O’Rourke arrives as their car is making all kinds of noise. Holly explains the screw is off on the air conditioner. There were four of them, but they only caught him. He’s a juvenile and will be booked for theft. A full jail is a happy jail.
• (3:21 AM) 911 Call Residential Robbery – Officer Pam Elius says it’s quite a job, not anyone can do it, no other job is like it. She couldn’t do anything else and wouldn’t want to do anything else.

She was sleeping and the guy came into her room and covered her mouth, she’s worried her mouth is swollen. Officer Charles Teneyck writes her story down. Pam gets her water. Her mouth is fat and she tastes blood. He went through her purse, took her keys, told her he needs money because his kids were hungry. She went to get her purse and wouldn’t turn the light on, but was afraid he would attack her. He came in the back window, but she only had $1 in there. She didn’t hear him, he left out the back door and gave her the keys back. Pam checks the window and the screen is cut. She hopes with the info she gave them and the jewelry he stole they can track down the piece of scum. (4:47 AM Vehicle Fire) They go to a yellow van that is burning up as fire and black smoke are pouring out of it. They find a guy nearby and check him out. She moves the car away in case it blows up.

The guy says he and his girlfriend live in the van and are homeless, she lit a cigarette and he couldn’t get her out. They don’t find a body though. The guy has Tylenol 3 that he says it’s for his leg. He talks slow and he’s out of it. He has chest pains. There’s no label on it the pills because he wanted to sell them. Pam says there was no girl there, but he says she was. He wants his pills back, she says to talk to the doctor. He wants to take a leak, she says only if he wants to go to jail.

Then he said he would show her something. She said no. Did she know what he was talking about? Yeah, his private parts. He started driving, almost crashed and she yelled. He put his hand on her leg and she started crying. He said you are scared huh? Macy and her mom then cry. It will be molestation and they will turn over to child welfare. They will get back to her, they take it very serious. Avoid contact with Freddy, they’ll get back to them, it could be something he does often. She did the right thing by telling her mom, she was very brave, a lot of people don’t tell, otherwise it could go on. Stay away from him, it’s a bad scene.
• (Roll Call) Fifth Precinct – Officer Don Bautista says they had an unusual burglary last night, all he did was go through the woman’s underwear, sexual in nature. She is a counselor from St. Mary’s chemical dependencies. He was discharged on Monday, has called and left her a message on her machine.

He says Tracy is the only one she knows living there. He has surprised her when she was sunbathing at home and on the beach. He says he said hello to her at the beach and she was expecting him at the house. He’s been in her house before with her, with her permission. It’s just an interview, so he’s let go. He goes to see Tracy. She says she didn’t call Ben and didn’t make a date with him. He tells her what Ben said that she made advances towards him. He knows this is false. There is no relationship between them. She says “oh, god” about her dating him, he must have quite a record. He says he has no record and checked around the world. She asks if he thinks Ben will do something. He can’t guarantee that. When she comes home, open the door, don’t go in, wait, listen. Don’t go anywhere alone, bring people with you. The guy is a wacko, you’ve read the papers. They have probable cause to arrest him and goes back to Ribizza to look for him. He goes in and finds him in the back. He is searched, cuffed, taken downtown and mirandized.
• (7:17 PM Domestic Violence Call) Third Precinct – Officer John Billington says it seems whenever you get alcohol and drugs in the picture it gets worse. Lots more domestics lately, whenever force is used on people living together they have to make an arrest. Officer Steve Setzer is his partner. They get a call from a woman saying her husband is smoking crack in the house and she wants him out. They pull up, she says he’s in the bathroom freaking out and has kids inside and a gun. They don’t want to go in and say she should get an order of protection against him. They go in eventually slowly with guns drawn and head upstairs. They find Quinn up there, but he goes down the hall on him. He says he didn’t put his hands on nobody, hasn’t done anything. They go to cuff him and he says don’t take me please. They are just talking to him. There are two infants laying on the bed. He says when he got back they really started arguing. He’s breathing heavy, says he’s hot, really scared and not on crack. John changes a diaper on a crying baby. The woman says he spent the whole rent check on crack, he was swinging things around, she was really scared and he was foaming at the mouth. They tried to keep him inside until the ambulance came, but he was slinging them around. Quinn is sweating bullets, says he didn’t mean nobody harm, didn’t hurt anyone. She says he needs help. She went to Chicago with her mom, came back and he sold everything. All of her furniture was gone, he sold it. They can’t find any drugs, so will take him for domestic. He promises not to do anything and will leave. He says she can get a restraining order on him, just don’t arrest him. They tell her to go to the county, floor 17 and file a OOP on him. He just wanted to take his car and leave. She says he went out to get pot, he came back, went into the bathroom and she smelled smoke. He came out, threw her and his sister around. It appeared like he was smoking crack. The sad part was he checked the diapers not to see if they were wet, but to see if he shoved the crack in there, he’s seen it before. A cop can’t expect he can change the world, but he can make it a little better.

If cops move in they will throw rocks at them. They will ID the leaders and may wait until the end before they arrest people. A female cop goes undercover as a punk goth chick in a black wig with black lipstick. The cops get all their riot gear ready. A speaker says they have no permit, but will march anyway. A hippy leader approaches police who will assist them in any way possible. They will give a police escort, but keep the traffic blockage to a minimum and no vandalism. The guy says they don’t want any trouble, want to march, traffic support is OK. Their chant is “We’re going to beat back the Bush attack” and “1234 we don’t want their bloody war.” They put up posters and burn a dummy. Then things get out of hand and one person is arrested. They tell the leader they have painted the building twice, vandalized, enough is enough, time to move along. A couple fights and are arrested. The goal was to wait and surgically remove the leaders.

Three black guys tried to break into his garage, he confronted them, they beat him and took off. His car also has windows broken out. One of the crooks says he punched him in the face and pulled a knife on them and they took off. He says there were two of them and stabbed their windows. One guy keeps yelling and John tells them to speak English, he’s listening, stop the garbage. The guy in a Batman shirt gets loud and says the guy accused him of going through his yard. They ran and thought they caught him. The victim says they came through his yard and they beat him up. The criminals says they left their house, went to their car, the guy yelled at them, smashed their car and they chased him, but didn’t catch them. No one knows what happened, both are lying and they can’t tell who is telling the truth. They are going to write them up and cut them loose. What about their car? That’s what insurance is for.
• Fourth Precinct Roll Call – Sgt. Frank Dallman reads a report about a young black thief who cuts in windows and steals things, tools and more. Officer Bill Thornberg has been there 15 years, likes the job since he’s outside all day and can’t stand office work.

EMS arrives, says he’s unconscious, they need to move him fast and holds his head. It’s a struggle to move him. A witness says Terry broke a beer bottle and hit him. He pulled out a bunch of his hair, then they started punching and fighting. He was stabbed 4-5 times with bottle, split ear, cut artery in neck, spurting blood. It wasn’t a shovel. They caught Terry a few blocks away. George’s mother holds a bloody rag and throws it at the suspect. She says, “You hurt my boy, he loved you all this time. He is Indian, American.”

He’ll put his life down for those 800 people even if he’s never met them before. He gets a call of a white woman with a gun at 2919 in the rear in a yellow shirt. They get out and run through a parking lot with guns drawn. There is a group of people in the lot and they tell the woman in yellow to get her hands up and she doesn’t listen so someone pushes her forward. She says she doesn’t have a gun, she did, but dropped it behind the car. They find an automatic handgun back there with no clip. A witness says she’s been pointing the gun around for two hours. The cops came once and she said it was just a fight and they left and she started it again. Greg loves this job, where else can you go the wrong way doing 60mph on a one-way street. (7:05 PM Neighbor Dispute) A woman brings her kid over who says his brother’s shirt was thrown on the neighbor’s roof and he wanted to get it and the guy told him if he went up there he’d shoot him. She doesn’t really know the neighbor. The neighbor says he’s had a lot of problems with these kids. They take his stuff and damage his property. He found a kid on his roof, didn’t know who was up there and they wouldn’t come down so he told them if they didn’t come down he said he would go get his gun. He admits it was the heat of the moment, a dumb thing to say, but he was tired because he had a really bad day and took it out on the kids. Greg says she can follow a criminal complaint on him and goes back and has the guy apologize so it doesn’t have to go any further. It’s better they try to get along, but next time ask the guy before you climb on his garage.
• (911 Call Domestic Violence) Officer Bill Thornberg says with domestics you never know what to expect when you get there. The tradition is a man threatening or hitting a woman and he goes off to jail, but you never know. Andrea Jones calls that her boyfriend went off on her, he’s on cocaine, she can’t control him and she cries. It is nighttime at house 1530. They walk up and hear gunfire in the distance. The guy inside says he’s drunk again. She says he threatened to kill her and 911 heard it. He says it’s just a threat thing, he does it all the time, but she denies it. He just came home, accused her of crazy things and threw her down. Police have been there before and she never pressed charges because she loved him. She wants him out, wants him arrested and wants to press charges. All her family is dead except for her sister upstairs and she couldn’t get a hold of her. She said she didn’t do anything. Officer Chuck Nathan checks him for weapons. She says he’s been on coke for months and called her a slut. She was at her sisters, not at bars, found out he was on coke two weeks ago and called the crisis line, but they don’t understand. Bill says no, he hasn’t been out there before and gives her a card with victims rights and domestic violence info, how to get a restraining order and the number for a battered women’s shelter. She says it’s her home and if she leaves he’ll follow her. They tell her to leave the phone off the hook. She doesn’t want them to let him out tonight. Bill says they’ll call before they let him out. She says to ask his mom how abusive he is, but only to her.
• (12:40 AM Neighbor Dispute) Third Precinct – Officer Steve Setzer says the call is for neighbor trouble, one threatening another. It’s pitch black when they walk up to the house and a guy says they are in the back fighting. They walk around and can hear a woman yelling. She said she heard the woman neighbor saying, “I hate those niggers and niggers this.” The second woman says they cut her power and has to have all the smoke detectors wired together. She’s white and was in her house having a private conversation. The black lady says she could hear it in her kitchen. Officer Cheri Dexter talks to her, she says she has two witnesses. Cheri says there is nothing they can do, how are they going to get along, it’s between them and the landlord. A black guy with no shirt appears and says they threw beer at them. She says they threatened to blow up her house. Steve says for them all to go to bed and ignore each other. She says she pays $48 a month and it’s a nice place. The white guy is drunk and told the black guy, “… for the niggers to get out of here.” They go back around and tell them to cut the crap and stop yelling. The white guy says he told him he would get his gun and blow his brains out, is that right? Cheri says other neighbors are complaining too. She can’t stay there all night, give it up tonight. Steve says it starts to seem like they are the problem, the guy is a drunk and obnoxious. The guy says he hasn’t bothered anyone. He says maybe he will go to bed, maybe he won’t. How dare he call me a drunk, how do to you know me, you’re so tough? Steve says to come on out of his house. He makes noises at him and says he won’t come out because then you’ll arrest me. Steve says he’s an obnoxious jerk, but there is no law allowing them to pull him out of his house and taking him to detox.

There was an assault and more a couple days ago. They look at the map and go out to top off the gas tank on their small plane. The state is 560,000 square miles, as big as the US. He’ll work a 16 hour day and 10 of it is in the air. His beat is 200,000 square miles, if it’s not the last frontier nothing is. (Village of Savoonga) There is a bootlegging operation where they make or can buy the alcohol and transport it to a dry village. This causes problems for at least a week until it dries up. Magistrate Abner Golorgergen meets them at the tiny airport. They ride in a truck to the magistrate’s office. Once there they talk to an Eskimo who seems high and usually isn’t like that. There is a makeshift court in the building and they try the Eskimo man. He shot a rifle outside of a public building and was drunk in the second judicial district. The highest penalty is $5,000 and a year in jail. Ike says the man is a danger by the state of his mind and asks that bail be set in the matter. It is set at $1000. Abner wears sunglasses and jeans and as soon as he’s done he takes the robe off. They have to take the man’s possessions, but he doesn’t want them to. He wants to take them home. He says they have to do it and he is in their possession until they get him back to Nome. He wanted help, turned himself in and wanted to get out of the village. They take him out to the airport, get on the plane and fly back.
• (Hit & Run Investigation) Anchorage PD – Officer Mark Hunstiger says people joke about the town. The nice thing about it is you can get to Alaska from there. There are 250,000 people living there, half the state. An island city stuck in a vast wilderness. They’ve had five hit & runs in the last 10 minutes by a man in an Arizona van. He spots the red van in a parking lot with a brown car under the back end. The guy ran off and witnesses point him across the street. The guy is behind a building where a woman is keeping her eye on him. He searches him and asks if he had any beers. He says three. Mark asks him if he had them all at the same time and he says yes. He admits he only backed over one car because he didn’t see it. He didn’t hit anyone else. His DOB is 2/31/59. Mark talks to witnesses and suddenly the drunk has left his car. He asks if this an escape and has to go back in the car. He says he will behave if he removes the cuffs. Mark says they don’t make deals with drunks. They go to put him back and he fights. Two women help and they have to hobble him. He says to go ahead and arrest him. They agree. They take him back to the station and his BAC is .232. He says the Fiat parked behind him, it wasn’t his fault. He skimmed off a car at a bar. Which one? The bar where they found him. He wasn’t at a bar, he was at a credit union. He was? Mark says maybe they serve drinks there. The magistrate can’t believe the damage he caused and since the guy only has $50 on him he won’t make bail which is good because he’s so dangerous. He can’t believe no one got killed in his rampage.
• (State Troopers) Pilot Bob Larson is going to Seward to recover a body from a plane crash that happened three weeks ago. It is at the 3000 foot level in the mountains.

Jerry Fleetwood is coordinating the search. Hopefully he’ll recover the body and the effects, ID it by whatever means, then notify the next of kin and get the remains back to them. A Cessna 207 during an hour flight tour that took people from a cruise ship hit the side of a mountain. They are supposed to meet climbers there. They land the helicopter on a mountain and walk over. Two male climbers are heading down tot he wreckage. Jerry says the best thing about being a trooper is the gratification from getting the job done. The only good thing there will be is to bring the remains back to the family. They find the body, load it up in a bag, move the helicopter and lower a tow rope down to get it. The father of the dead girl was waiting for her, but had to go back to Florida for medical reasons. Back at the base Jerry calls the father and says the body is at the funeral home where is wife is.

Dan Hickman got a call last night that three male youths were joyriding in a boat, took a sharp turn and the two in the back fell out. The driver came back and found one guy, but not the other. It’ll take an hour to get there by plane, about 100 miles away. They wheel out a Cessna tri wheel from a hanger. They says the area looks smooth, but there is a lot of turmoil under the water, lots of eddies and drownings. Kotlik – they see nothing from the air. At the airport they meet Safety Officer William Murphy. He says they just gassed up and they’ve been using poles to drag both side of the river. They get a call that they found the victim and go to the wooden jail for a body bag. They drive a boat out and there are another 10 boats on the scene near where it happened. They have a foot sticking out of a line. They get into a second boat and spread out the body bag and pull the body in. They go to the magistrate to say the kid had no life vest on, if he did he probably would’ve lived.
• (4:58 PM Child Assault Call) Anchorage – Officer Marc Woodward says Alaska is a very liberal state. The people’s rights are utmost so they have to be extra sharp with constitutional laws so they don’t lose a case because of it. A teenager assaulted a small child and EMS is on the scene. They are in a field and the kid is screaming. His friend Brian who is 21 says he fed the kid alcohol because he wanted it. EMS needs to take him to the hospital, the kid says he had a couple of Coronas. He lives on Jewel Lake and has no phone. A witness says he saw the kid crawling away and the Brian picked him up and threw him, then tried to carry him away. He grabbed him and made him put the kid down. They drive Brian to talk to the parents. The kid says he made them drink. Brian says he wanted it. He drank some and didn’t want anymore and they said to take it. Marc goes in to talk to the parents. Mom wants to kill Brian and Marc says he might himself. They do have a phone and call Providence Hospital. In the hospital the kid screams like crazy when they put a line in his throat with an IV in. His BAC is .178, would be 7-8 drinks for an adult, less for the kid. They won’t charge Brian until they know more. They give him a citation instead of going to jail, but he’ll have to go to court. The kid seems like a zombie. Marc says the kid could’ve died and Brian is stupid. Anytime a kid is in danger it hits closer to home, especially when you are a parent like he is.
• (9:20 PM Shoplifting Call) Anchorage – Officer Scott Jessen says he’s originally from Boise ID and the army sent him up there in January 1979. He likes the country, it’s familiar. It’s the same as Boise except for the snow and ice. They get a month of decent weather and the rest is snow. A kid stole a $14 book from a comic store. He tells the kid he is under arrest and asks why is he grinning at him. He says his dad’s here. Scott says it’s not a joke and he can take him to jail even if it’s a comic. He says he’s never been arrested and never stole before. He then says he didn’t steal it. He put it in his bag while he was still shopping. Scott tells him it’s concealment. He tells him to sit and he starts crying. The dad says he’s never done it before and had enough cash to buy it. There is a TMNT poster on the back door where he’s sitting. There is an Archie Comics rack with Super Mario Brothers. Batman and Metallica Harvester of Sorrow shirts are hanging up. He says he was looking at a computer game and wanted to get some other stuff. His dad will take him and he has to go to juvenile court. The next time he will take him to jail, not to his dad. There is concealment and removal, he has to explain to his dad the difference, but both are a crime. The kid has a swatch watch with a swatch guard too. After Scott says he really didn’t get through to the kid until he realized he could go to jail. He finally figured it out when he started crying, that’s when you know you’ve made the point. Over the credits is footage with the body bag from the first segment.

It started as a burglary of guns and drugs – legal steroids from Jeff. He found the guy who robbed him and took Randy to the suspect’s house in Henderson where he had the stuff. He told him the story how he was put on his knees at gunpoint and interrogated. He asked him how he came to Jeff’s house. He bought steroids from him for four months, he’s a big guy, body builder.

He has AK-47, he went to jail, is out now, but they want to go back and get the rest of the guns. Earle makes him swear that what he says is true and he does and signs it.

(4:00 PM Execution of Search Warrant) Randy knocks and tells Jeff to come out. A guy is standing and Randy tells him to get down at gunpoint because he has a gun on him and takes it. He asks if Jeff about the guns and he goes to get the key for the case and he tells him to sit. He says they can take all his guns and he’s not happy about it so they give him the warrant. They make him move away from the guns and unload the gun from the guest. They go in the closest and pull out assault rifles. The other guy had a pistol in a holster on his hip when they came in, so it’s not CCW. They find a huge box of steroids so Jeff’s under arrest again. He says they are the same ones from before. Under the bed are more guns and they start putting them on the bed and soon the bed is covered. Officer Chuck Pierce Jr. finds Jeff’s drug sales book and there are lots of high dollar sales listed including one for $1,500.

He’s been getting high with them for three days and knows where they live. He walks over and Randy says not to stand next to him. He wants to tell him. What were the guys’ names? He can’t tell. Randy arrests him for being under the influence of drugs. He cuffs him easily and puts him in the car. On the way to the station Randy says cocaine isn’t good for him. He asks him how much has he spent on dope in his life. He can’t tell him, maybe $30-40,000 and it’s not cheap.

• Clark County Detention Center – Lt. Patricia Kessel says the first time coming to jail has got to be a horrendous experience, she would be terrified and she’s been there 12 years now. If you get someone shouting orders here and there, telling you do this, do that and you don’t know what’s happening to you, you are not a free person. It’s understandable that you are upset. They teach officers IPC – Inter Personal Communication. One of the most vital parts of their training program is to teach folks that when someone comes in and they are angry, calling you every obscene name in the book, clutching at you, grabbing at you or whatever, it’s not you they are angry at, it’s what you represent. They bring a drunk guy in and take his picture. He’s an older guy, says he’s got money and drives a Cadillac. They don’t want to hear he’s someone who knows the sheriff and everyone. Pat says they want a blood sample from him. They don’t want to grab them by the hair, it looks really bad, it’s a tactic that hurts, but doesn’t injure. It gets their attention, you have to get their attention before they’ll listen to you. The guy from before hit his face on the wall and bust his nose and mouth. He’s bleeding and a nurse cleans him up. Pat begs him to cooperate, they aren’t there to fight. He needs to agree to submit. He says he’s not fighting with anyone. She says he just needs to do what they ask. He says he’s not resisting and agrees to take a breath test, it’s that or blood. Officer Jack Clark talks to a woman who is belligerent. She curses him out and wants the cuffs off, but he won’t. She says someone needs to. She was caught giving oral sex in the back of a car and her fly is open. The guy from before says Jack hit him, someone hit him. He explains he hit the wall outside. Then he refuses the blood test so they take him off to the drunk tank. They smell alcohol on him. They’ll let him calm down and sleep it off. They take blood from another guy who asks why they are doing it. He says he wants them to test it for every kind of disease. The guy from before got all squirrelly in isolation. He got the cuffs off and punched a cop right in the face. They’ll have to file a report. They’ve heard, “I know the sheriff, the governor, I pay your salary.” She wants to ask them for a raise then.

• (1:15 AM Fugitive Call) Metropolitan PD – Officer Mike Horn and K-9 Eich are needed and go to the scene. Sgt. Doug Gillespie tells him 575 wants to know what’s going on 44 and 420, ran out the back. Patrol went to a house to get someone on a homicide warrant and the guy took off out the back door. He’s armed with a knife and wanted for battery with a deadly weapon. He says the guy hopped over the back wall. Mike goes around back with the dog into a garage and asks an owner if they can go into their backyard to search. He says it’s the worst kind of search he can do, he’s worried more about getting shot by a resident than a suspect. They think someone is trying to rob them and shoot out their window or let their dogs out. He doesn’t find anything and hears cops calling because another K-9 unit found him. He’s cuffed on the ground with the dog trying to get him. One dog almost gets him and they yell at him to walk past them. He walks like he has all the time in the world. Mike has to yell to get the dog to stop. The guy says he just pushed her away, he’s told he has warrants for attempted assault and attempted sexual battery. Mike trades barbs with the other K-9 officer. He calls him a rookie and he found him first, Mike says his dog was calm enough to cuff him, Doug says he would be calm too since he didn’t make the catch. Mike says it’s beginners luck, he’s still a rookie and can’t lie, there is competition, he wanted to make the catch, but Eich thinks he did anyway, so he still thinks he’s top dog.
• (4:00 PM Indecent Exposure Call) Officer Randy Sutton says there are 240 million people in the country and only 500,000 cops. When you put on that uniform it’s a lot of responsibility. The courts decided a cop can be sued as well as the department. What he worked so hard to get can be removed from him if the court decides he violated someone’s rights. He goes to the call of Tanya who can see a man in his apartment with the drapes open masturbating in the window. The woman is outside when he pulls up and she points to where he is, but can’t see him now. He backs up to get out of the way. She says he stands in the window with the curtains up and the window open and he plays with himself, it’s embarrassing. She’s getting sick of it and he acts like he hides. Tanya will file a crime report on him. Randy knocks on B1 and the guy says he’s alone and he’s wearing nothing but a small towel around his waist. Randy mirandizes him and asks if he knows why he’s here. He says what is he supposed to say, he has a problem with her, but doesn’t know her. He has scars on his back, knows what he was doing was wrong, is not going to deny it, but it was a spur of the moment thing. There was something about her, he saw her at the pool, liked the way she looked and thinks she’s married. He’s done it a couple times in front of her, but just her. He can see her across the way, finds her sexually attractive and there’s not much he can really say. Randy tells him to get dressed. He has to go downtown and be charged with open and gross lewdness. If he’s never been arrested they’ll let him go. Is it necessary for him to be arrested. It’s illegal to masturbate in front of women in Nevada.
• (12:15 AM Disturbance Call) Southeast Area Command – Officer Dominick Rodriguez says he always wanted to become a cop, was raised in this town and knows it sounds corny but he loves his community. He wanted to be a cop since he was a kid and wants to participate in helping the community instead of complaining about it. There are people in the emergency room raising heck and refusing to leave. A woman points to security and says two young guys are drunk and creating a disturbance. Mike cut off the tip of his finger and wanted to be seen first and got obnoxious. He asked him to leave, he wouldn’t, they are packed and she wants him out. She will file a trespass on him. They guy is on the phone when Dom goes in. He tells him to get off. He says he’s been there 90 minutes, he needs stitches and needs help now. He has a bloody towel on his hand and called 911 and they said they have to help him. Mike says the guard is playing Mr. Hero, won’t help him, he’s there first. Dom says it’s a private hospital and they don’t have to take care of him. Mike says his uncle is Chuck Thompson and he’ll take care of them all. A guy and a girl come over and start yelling it’s a customer service problem. He asks if someone had a gun in his stomach would they wait? The guy comes back and says he’s been bleeding for two hours and Dom says he’ll arrest Donald for obstruction. They feel strongly about him leaving, he’ll go in and talk to them. He talks to a woman who says it’s not an emergency and not life threatening. He needs 2 maybe 3 stitches and he’s only been there 30 minutes. The others are a priority, they take them in priority order, people came in by ambulance and he spread the wound apart to make it bleed. Mike says she told him it would be 5 stitches. The waiting process is part of the game. He denies he was there only 30 minutes. Dom sympathizes with them, but they have to play the game and wait, other people have problems too.

• (12:45 AM Shooting Call) Jersey City – Officer Thomas Porter chose the job because his brother was in the department and most people on the block were cops, so he figured he might as well join. He’s driving toward the WTC and says there’s excellent job security, the money’s not bad, the benefits are great and someone has to do it, doesn’t mind helping people out once in a while, that’s the job. Officer Robert Falconetti is his partner and they go to the call of a man shot in his car on Second and New York Ave. He is put in the ambulance since he’s hit in the head. The car is off to the side on the curb with bullet holes in the window and spent shells on the ground so they leave it to the investigators. A call comes in that someone saw the shooter so they drive over to his backyard and eight cops chase down the tall black guy who says he doesn’t know what happened. He’s the right guy, but they can’t find the gun that fired the 10 shots. (2:30 AM Shooting Call) Another shooting happened down the road, another fun night in the city. Tony is a black guy sitting on some stairs with a wound to the neck. They ask who shot him, he doesn’t know, they took his wallet. They tell the ambulance to hurry since he’s falling over. Tom tells the guy to go and asks if he stutters. EMS arrives. It’s common in the projects, close to the first of the month, today is the fourth, they’ve had enough time to get their checks and go crazy. They go out on foot and ask the people around if they saw anything, but no one says a thing. There are lots of violent crimes and no one wants to rat on their friends. It’s the code of silence, if they rat on someone, they’ll be next.
• Hoboken – Sgt. Mike Plunkett asks the officers if they have their helmets and hands out their night sticks. They are short handed with only four of them until 8 o’clock. Have a good night. His great-great grandfather was a cop there in 1876 and his family has lived there since. There’s not as many crimes as there used to be. Lots of the bars now cater to the yuppies, instead of the working class when he was a kid, lots more fights back then. (5:15 PM Disturbance Call) He’s going to Redheads bar where the owner has a bat on a customer. The guy says a man threatened him over the phone with a bat. Someone broke into his house in Jersey City and has a bat with his name on it. They talk to the owner who says the guy charged $1300 on his account for City Paint and Johnny is getting billed for it. The guy says he used him as a reference and they sent the bill here by mistake. He says he bought stuff for the lady and they mistakenly assumed it was for Redheads. They said to bill it to Redheads and he said fine. He’s paying it right now. He says Johnny told him his house was robbed. The Sgt. says the guy knew they were charging him and he gets tired of the guy talking and interrupting him. He yells at him to stop and tells Johnny he can file a complaint with the detective, it’s a lot of money. He can file right now if he’s threatened. Johnny says he didn’t say it. The guy keeps saying he can’t watch his back and the Sgt. believes Johnny. The guy keeps saying it’s against the law to make threats and the account has been settled so he can do what he want. It’ll be settled in court, not here. After Mike says people come from all over the world to see the NYC skyline and they see it every day. The shot includes the WTC.
• Orange PD – Officer Dennis Vega says it’s good to know the community you are in. He was born and raised there. Lots of the cops there were born and raised in Orange and are trying to give back to the town. He goes to a block party and shakes hands with people as do other cops. (3:15 PM Domestic Call) A man took his child from the mother so they go to her rundown apartment and talk to the mother. The door is bashed and smashed and has ‘Jones’ written on it in marker. He won’t open the door so they call him on the phone and tell him to open the door. He puts the mom on the phone and she says she wants her baby, he tells her to screw off. Her friend has a shirt that reads ‘If you don’t like my attitude dial 1-800-eat-sh!t’ right in front of her kids. Dennis gets back on the phone and says he wants to make sure the baby is OK and to clear the hall. He finally opens the door and is still on the phone. He surrenders the kid, shakes the guys hand and tells him he can’t use their kid to solve their problems. It’ll make him look bad, even if he’s right. These kind of situations can be explosive. The job has lots of judgment calls. Over the credits the WTC is seen from a distance.

• (7:45 PM Code Red – Officer Emergency) Metropolitan PD Southeast Area Command – Officer Jack Clark says because of the area with the high concentration of bars and casinos they have a DWI problem. People are either walking or driving, then it becomes a much more serious problem to put a thousand pound car in the hands of a drunk. He pulls over a white rental Cadillac with the horn stuck. They pop the hood and he tells them they can pull it and take it back to Budget. Then it suddenly stops. Metrocom Center – a call comes in for an officer down emergency. They radio Jack and he takes off. A cop got run over at Circus Circus, but they don’t know if it’s a real cop or security. He pulls up and Officer Frank Janise is down on the street with a stream of blood coming from his head. One man keeps him down, another holds his hand. Jack calls for an ETA on EMS. More people arrive and they caught the older male driver who hit him and has no license. EMS cuts Frank’s jacket off. A witness says he had to chase the driver down the street. He wasn’t sure what the guy was doing, he was trying to make up his mind what to do. He stopped and the man reached in and grabbed his keys. They think he’s drunk and give him a field test. There was a DWI accident scene and Frank was there. The drunk ran through the scene and hit him. He’s arrested for felony DWI because of the drinking and the injuries. They take Frank to University Medical Center for lacerations to his head, broken ribs and broken wrist. He was investigating a DWI and stopped traffic, the suspect drove through the accident scene, hit Frank and he went to leave. A guard chased him down and made him come back.
• (Seven Months Later) Officer Frank Janise talks about the accident. He arrived at the accident scene and went to get flares and find out about getting blood drawn for BAC. That’s the last thing he remembers. He was told the man came across the Industrial road, went over the double line and hit him. The mirror on the truck hit him in the head and something cut through his shirt, jacket and vest. (5:50 PM Accident Call) He goes to where another cop has a man stopped and thinks he’s drunk. Officer David Wagner explains the guy was making a westbound turn on Paradise, then a lady hit the back of the cab, plus there’s a second accident. He gives the man a field test. Frank talks to the woman. She says the man sandwiched the guy between the truck and the cab almost killing him. (8:10 PM Accident Call) He goes to the call of a three car accident where paramedics have already arrived. He pulls up and the scene is full of people. He talks to a blonde woman who says the white car tried to make a left hand turn and the red car didn’t yield. The white car’s front is smashed in and the red car looks like a tinfoil ball. He can relate to them better because he was never involved in a DWI accident until he was hit. Everyone had seatbelts except for one lady in an 85 Oldsmobile who only got lacerations. The driver was lucky he had his belt on so he survived. The old saying is if you drink, don’t drive.
• (6:40 PM Suspicious Vehicle) Northeast Area Command – Officer Thomas Fletcher has been assigned to the downtown area as a foot patrol officer. They run into a lot of homeless, a lot of robberies, find that a lot of their suspects come from in other cities. Then they find out they are also wanted back home, it’s a very transient area. A red car is driving around a parking lot and they ask them what is the woman doing in the trunk of the hatchback and tell him to stop. He pulls over and they ask him why she is there. They were trying to get a room but it was $25. She has an Australian accent and says she’s rode 5000 miles back there, that’s why her leg is sore. The driver says he’s rode back there. Officer Joseph Lombardo says he wouldn’t ride there. Everything she owns is inside there and they laugh about it. (7:10 PM Domestic Disturbance) A woman is supposed to be holding a baby on the street and park rangers have her. They pull up and she is gone. The ranger points to where they went. They are across four lanes of traffic. Joe walks over and there is a man, woman and kid standing there. Cindy is upset, says her husband beat her and the cops let him go again. He’s drunk and has a warrant out for his arrest. She’s putting tape on a large cardboard box on the ground. Her husband knew she didn’t have any money, thinks he went home and left her there. The guy with her is a stranger who gives her some money. He says it won’t help much, but she shouldn’t be out here like that. Her daughter is two and she told him she was going back to her parents in Phoenix. He was going to take her to get her check and he dropped her off there and left. He wants her to go and he told her so. She has no money, except what the guy gave her. She was going to get $128 from her check and Greyhound bus tickets as $32. Cops take her box, put it in their trunk and will go to Greyhound, they have some money. They drive her to the huge bus terminal and ask when the next bus is to Phoenix. It’s 12:15am. They buy her a ticket and tell her if he shows up again tonight and tries to force her to do anything to tell the front desk and they’ll come as fast as they can.

• (Truck Sting Operation Briefing) Jersey City – Captain Bobby Martin says many trucks are getting broken into and getting hit heavy after getting steered off the turnpike down one way streets with no way to turn around. Conrail loaned them a surveillance van used in Boston. Chief Inspector Art Dunn from the Conrail PD shows it off on the inside. Zenith gave them empty VCR, camcorder and TV boxes and they are glued and taped together to look flush. The giant crate on the left side is where the cops hide and it opens up to block the thieves in by wedging against the with a board on the floor. It’s set up nice so they’ll run inside and grab the equipment. They are in back of the projects. Officer Paul is driving the 18 wheeler Trailvan and pretends he broke down. He gets out, pops the hood and a black guy comes right up to him, then Paul leaves it. Seconds later three black kids come up to break the seal with a stick. (5:15 PM Truck Interior) Officer Andrew Lancellotti explains to the rest how many will come in and then they can open it. There’s a bathroom and a long bench to sit inside the large crate. The kid in a white shirt and red shorts goes back to get a broom to break the seal. They are so excited when they get in and run saying “VCRs!!” Police jump them and they are surprised. They say they’ll drive it over to Duncan and Sgt. Walter Barrett follows them over. They explain to Paul which way to turn and open the hood so they can see it better then he walks away from the truck. (7:55 PM) A black kid in white shorts works on the lock. He gets it open and excitedly signals his friends to come. When one joins him they jump them, but the second guy gets away. The first guy says they made him do it. When they pull him out of the truck a group of women laugh at him. He says he’s 14. It starts to get dark so they call it off. He says they’ll meet up and get them out of the back and they are thankful. Tomorrow they’ll start earlier.
• Captain Bobby Martin says they did a good job yesterday and will do it again today. It’s a big industry, a billion dollars a year of theft. They are going back to Duncan. We see cops have to enter the crate from a trapdoor in the bottom of the truck. They stop near a park and call the truck. They tell him to turn the nose their way. He pops the hood and fiddles with the engine to make it look good. He goes in and grabs his briefcase and walks away. (3:30 PM) There is a large pack of black men across the street. One of them grabs a screwdriver and heads over as another becomes a lookout. The guy gets the lock off and madly jumps in and is grabbed. The others jump through the door and grab the second guy. It’s Christmas in August, they are setting up again. There are only certain streets in the city designated for trucks and people will steer them the wrong way so they can rob them. The move the truck to a new street. (6:15 PM) Four guys appear and one goes in the cab. A Hispanic man in a white hat pops the seal and calls to his buddies “VCRehs!” He grabs one, they jump him and drop out the bottom and grab the others. He says he has no dope on him, his hat comes off on the way out and says he’s the only one to blame. He uses a hand pumper as the tool. It took only six minutes for them to park and break in.
• Captain Bobby Martin says they do a lot of proactive and reactive stuff patrolling hot areas where there are purse snatchings and house entries. Where there is bad crime they will set up and let them do the crime and catch them in the act, they are the witnesses in court. It’s not a victim, it’s the police as witnesses, so 9 times out of 10 they’ll cop a deal. (12:10 AM Suspicious Situation) They spot Rob going in and out of a super market with a bag in the pouring rain. The bag was empty at first, now it’s full. They watch him for a while to see where he goes. He goes up 5th and they stop him in the street. They ask if he bought the stuff, but he has no receipts. He threw them away and has no money left. He has 20 packs of cigarettes. Rob looks familiar to them and they ask him if he got busted for breaking into a car. He says he doesn’t do that stuff, but they did bust him 2 1/2 weeks ago. They saw him outside the Pathmark for 20-30 minutes and go back to the store to see if he bought them. A manager says he saw Rob there, but he didn’t buy anything. Officer Andrew Lancellotti asks if can they ID the stuff. The cigarettes have a 4004 number on them that is the code for the store. He was running around, that why he didn’t have a receipt. He stashed a bag by the diner and came back and grabbed more and went back. He was waiting for the rain to let up. He was there since 11 PM. Special thanks to Chief Richard J. Harrison.

• (10:45 PM Roll Call) Jersey City – The Sgt. tells officers the Puerto Rican parade goes down to Grundy Park so give it special attention. That’s it. One cop says he’s on motorcycle 56. Officer Thomas Porter says what he likes most is the people he’s with, they are a rare breed, not many people like to work at midnight and sleep all day. His partner is Officer Robert Falconetti who says there is less traffic, it’s more informal, a different class of people and is best shift in the city (Saturday 11:56 PM Assault Call) Thomas says there are lots more violent crimes, it’s not Mayberry. They go up to Daisy who says her boyfriend Ruben Trinidad punched her in the head and scratched her with a knife. He took the keys and dropped the knife. He’s riding a bike, in a white t-shirt, black shorts and a blue Morley’s hat. They know him and go to a park where he hangs out. He’s been arrested before, everyone knows him, not a great guy, every cop and everyone in town knows him. He’ll probably come back, he’s stupid enough to. There are a bunch of guys sitting at a table who say Ruben left an hour or so ago. They talk to Mike on a corner who says he hasn’t seen him all day as a pack of people behind him make noise. They say to call if he sees them and go back to Daisy and her friends to see if he came back. She needs to go to 762 Montgomery St. on Monday to file a complaint unless they catch him first. He’ll come back, he’s cocky.
• (Thursday, 9:40 PM Assault Call) They get a call of a female being assaulted right where Daisy was last time. It turns out she is Daisy. A woman says he tried to get her again, busted his eye open and he’s out inn the back yard. They go out there and it’s totally dark. Ruben is down on the ground by an underground door. He was trying to climb into a window to escape, fell and hit his head. He’s Mexican, with a big dorag. He says, “I can’t stand up, I’m dizzy yo.” Tom is going to cuff him and Ruben says he’s tough, he’ll show him how tough he is even when he’s cuffed. Tom says he’s tough too. Ruben says he’s a punk, he can’t beat him one on one. Daisy says she didn’t want to be with him once he got drunk. They were all hanging out together and then it got bad. She is holding ice on her face and doesn’t care what they do to him now. They are charging him with assault. He says he doesn’t need to be charged with that. He ends everything with yo and curses them out. He says he can curse all he wants and is going to court on Monday for beating up a cop and didn’t resist. They have him in a cage and ask him to spell his name and he says to make sure they spell it right, like Trinidad and Tobago. He hangs all over, that’s why they can’t find him. He’s been locked up many times, has an extensive record, no girls like him and they reject him so he beats them up. She signed a complaint on him and the state has the toughest domestic violence laws in the country.
• Orange, NJ (10:20 PM Street Patrol) Officer Dennis Vega says most of the time he winds up doing what he’s taught, not on the job, but when you were younger, how to treat people and how to react in different situations. If you get physical that doesn’t solve things it creates new problems. If you fight with everyone you are not going to make it, this is not the job for it. A black guy flags him down and says his cousin has a problem with his sister and his kids. He says there is going to be a fight, but he can’t explain it. He wants Dennis to go there, but he won’t until he understands. He says the cousin and his ex are fighting over their kid and he’ll ride down there on the hood if he wants. It started right there and now they’re by the ice cream parlor. He says he’s a short bald fucker. The guy runs down there and Dennis meets him at the corner. A woman says the guy is lying on Bell Street all beat up. A witness says a guy beat him up and left him there. The guy is on his back spread out and mumbling. He indicates he can’t breathe and can’t move his leg. He starts crying and screaming. Dennis calls an ambulance. The cousin holds him down. The guy starts screaming and moving his legs because he wants him off him. He wants him to shut up. He keeps trying to get up and T holds him down. EMS arrives and T wants them to help, but the victim doesn’t want their help, he can do it his own way, so Dennis calls them off. They started fighting on Jefferson St., he got bopped, is probably on the pipe and couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag. There was nothing the police could do about it, just can’t let it get out of control and won’t solve anything tonight.

• (12:47 AM Disturbance Call) Hoboken – Officer Mike Plunkett became an officer for the same reason most people do – to change the world, be somebody’s knight in shining armor, rid the city of all crime. It’s a good attitude to have when you first come on, you need that, but when you’re on the streets a few weeks the reality check is you won’t be a knight on shining armor, you can’t change the streets and the best you can do is make your world a little better. When you retire you’ll have a pretty good career to look back on. If you can survive 25 years you’ve got it made. It’s usually around the time when the bars start closing and there are a lot of problems. They centralize themselves in the areas where the bars are in case of problems. He pulls up to a bunch of guys fighting on a sidewalk. Two groups separate as one man in a blue shirt fights and a cop grabs him. A citizen takes his cuffs and cuffs the guy. His friend wants to take him home. They say too late, he’s under arrest. They say some guys threw him around and tossed him out. Ten guys did it, but they didn’t get thrown out. Why is getting arrested, they came out and found him? He assaulted a cop. Mike says he listened to him, now he can go home. How can he, that guy is his ride. He doesn’t care. Det. Brian Murphy says they went to take him out and he got loud and abusive and didn’t want to listen and pushed him around, he didn’t get hurt, just winded. Mike talks to the suspect at the station. He says he had his drinks, no problems, was having a good time. Then somebody said something to him, he came back, said something again. Then bing bang boom he hit the guy, but he didn’t know he was a cop or he wouldn’t have touched him. He should’ve looked first. He’s sure Mike’s been in a position like that before. No. You won’t admit it. He then realized he was a cop. Maybe you had too much to drink. I did. He can live with that. After Mike asks how could he not know he was a cop, he was in full uniform. It wasn’t like he was wearing a Good Humor uniform. He was blind drunk. He’ll get a summons, be home in an hour, should spend a weekend in county jail, maybe he’ll think twice before whacking a cop again.
• Jersey City (Narcotics Unit Briefing) Sgt. Brian McDonough says they caught a girl with cocaine and she told them there was a house with two Spanish chicks selling cocaine out of there. They have a warrant and it’s the top apartment #129. Sgt. Edwin Gillen says she’s an old heavy woman, over 50, maybe 45. Brian explains how they will go up and batter the door, it’s the weekend, don’t get hurt for it. Det. Dennis DeSefano says they are Medellin and laughs. (11:45 PM Service of Warrant) He says when they see the last man go in, Mike, go down the block and cover the sides of the building in case something comes out the window. They go up, knock, say ‘Policia’, then ram the door. A woman can be heard. Inside there are babies crying, they grab the woman and make her sit, they find an older woman, a man and three babies they secure. Dennis grabs wads of cash that are in a purse. They also find a welfare bundle of cash. The government is good to them. She laughs. They search her and make the family speak to her in Spanish and tell her to turn over any drugs or weapons. They also find a room of stolen clothes, all still have tags on them, enough for a 100 people. It’s like doing inventory for JC Penney. One has a tag for $50. They rob stores and trade them for drugs. Six suitcases full of kids shoes, a $75 David Benjamin dress, his wife doesn’t wear those and $60 pants. The woman in yellow says she likes it, she uses it. Good country, eh? The kids all scream and now they are worried about the kids when they are taking them out for locking up the grandmother. He’s worried about the kids while they deal. They see that and hate the cops, he would too if he was a kid. Brian says the grandmother was hiding in the closet with a couple grams of coke, she was the one in charge. They have a little bit of drugs and a lot of money, a lot of jewelry too. The daughter is in the cage yelling. They find an Irish good luck ring are any of them Irish? Did you go to St. Michael’s High School in 1972? It’s not the families jewelry it’s someone else’s.

They look over the bridge thinking he went over, but he didn’t jump, he was hanging over the side. They ask the guy they caught where do your friends live. On High St. in Jersey City. They go down and look up. They were chased down the ramp and one of the guys is hiding in the weeds somewhere.

They have two kids together and her grandfather lives with her and Eugene explains to her what to do if she wants to file charges. There is a gun on the table and Eugene holds it as he explains it. They guy isn’t there, so he can’t arrest him. They’ll have to sign a statement saying he did it. Suddenly shots are fired in the yard. He calls for backup 42-40 and then runs out and hunts the guy down.

Eugene searches for it and tells him to shut up. He calls in that the guy is in custody. The woman comes down smoking and wanting the two jackets he’s wearing saying they are hers.

That’s the way he grew up and that’s the way it’s gonna be. He gets angry. You don’t know where he grew up or where comes from. You don’t and nobody else will. It makes him mad. He’s worse than Rambo. He doesn’t use a gun. He’s the only one who can change it. He doesn’t smoke crack. He is an alcoholic, he drinks the cheap whiskey. He is dying anyway of cirrhosis of the liver, but no one believes him. He’s been through a stomach staple, he’s been through hell, more than Rambo. He can’t stop, he can’t stop today, why should he? He ain’t never tried to kill anyone or hurt anyone, he did break some teenie windows. Whenever he gets out he’s not going to stop. As long as she treats him wrong he’ll treat her like shit. If she treats him right, he’ll treat her right. They’ve been together for 4 years. He has 2 kids – 2 years and 4 months and 8 months. He hopes his kids see this so they’ll be worse than him. He knows his one boy will be worse, he hopes he is. A man won’t take shit from a woman. He doesn’t want people messing with him when he has a good time. He says he doesn’t drink that much, when someone gets him pissed off he gets pissed off. Jim asks shim if he wants help for his drinking. He says he doesn’t need help, he just pissed off, it would be throwing money out the window. He cries and says he loves his kids, he could’ve got shot. Then he asks if it will cost anything.

They go on a lot of felony calls – robberies, shootings, burglaries and rapes. Any time they go with a report of a gun and do not know if the suspect is still on scene, mentally they have to be prepared, have to make it a safe situation.

They yell to put the gun down and come out, but have to go up and get him. The guy says, “I’m through, put it in the paper!’ again and again.

They hit him with a metal chair, pull him down and lose their cuffs. They go to cuff him again and Sgt. Raymond Convery calls for a wagon. He’s shot in the arm and spurting blood all over.

• (Palm Beach County, FL – 1:42 AM Suspicious Activity) District 3 – Deputy Phyllis Kearney wanted to get into law enforcement in Ireland, but the economy was pretty bad so she had to do it here. There is such a difference between Irish cops. They call them Gardaí. They don’t carry guns unless they are in a special branch. So when she came here and carried a gun her mother freaked out, because she isn’t used to that. When she visited she was pretty worried, but saw the people she worked with and was content. She comes upon two women, a blonde helping a brunette who is on the ground. She is bruised on the head and says her husband hit her with a bat during an argument. She swears she will kill him when she gets a hold of him.

• (Fort Worth, TX – 12:58 AM Car Pursuit) East Division – Officer Brian Clark enjoys working the midnight shift. When the call load goes down he can be more proactive and it looks for things. The shift works out because when he’s going home his 2 and 4 year old are waking up so he can play with them. Fortunately for his son and daughter they got his wife’s good looks and not his chiseled features. A car runs a stop sign at Ave K and he chases him until he bails at Ave L. They get out, but don’t go far and he holds two Mexican men at gunpoint and tells them to get on the ground. The passenger has trouble listening, the driver doesn’t come out and another passenger ran away. A woman comes out of the house they pulled into and wants to know what’s going on. Brian tells them they ran from the police. The driver says he ran because he didn’t want his father’s car to get towed and he doesn’t have a license. Brian says it will get towed now and all he would’ve gotten was a ticket. The guy in the orange pants lives there, the driver doesn’t. He’s been to jail before and says the car isn’t stolen and he almost wiped out on the last turn. The new law in Texas is that if you run from the police it’s a felony. They find a Coke can filled with paint in the car and the driver says he knows the paint is bad, he’s not in a gang and knew better than to run.

He finds a bit of weed in the truck. Phil finds it interesting that Fred has a D.A.R.E. shirt on since he’s sending the wrong message. The Sgt. backs him up. Fred can’t believe he is getting arrested, he did nothing wrong. Phil asks about the shirt, he says it’s a hand me down shirt he uses for work, he’s a bricklayer, he doesn’t know. He’s been using for a few years, trying to quit.

One had a bat and he screamed, threw the bat down, it hit the ground, bounced back up and hit him in the head knocking him out, so he was easy to arrest. He spots a red pick up truck parked in a known drug area. He pulls up and there is a woman in a designer bowler hat sleeping on the front seat. A window is open and a door is unlocked so he opens it and shakes her. She says let go, asks what he’s doing and says she’s fine. He asks if she knows who he is. She says an officer of the law and she was sleeping and doesn’t know if there are drugs in there. A guy was giving her a ride home and she fell asleep. Todd spots a Brillo pad and she says nothing in the truck is hers even though there’s a pocketbook with woman’s clothes and gold shoes. She says it’s not hers. Backup arrives and he says it’s Signal 10 and puts her in the back of his car. The guy she was with is a black guy with a mustache and no name. In the bag he finds a prescription bottle with her name on it and cocaine inside. He also finds a crack pipe. Todd goes back and reads her rights. The truck is stolen and she says the prescription is not hers and she doesn’t have a crack pipe. He says right, he has it now and he’ll dump her clothes since they aren’t hers. They can’t prove she stole the truck, so she’ll get trespassing.

• (Pierce County, WA – 1:15 AM Vehicle Pursuit) Sheriff’s Dept. South Hill Precinct – Deputy Kristi Estes says it’s a state initiated pursuit, a guy sped through a construction zone and have a K-9 in case he runs. Lakewood – They switch to Deputy Russ Martin who sets up stop sticks. The car is slowing down from 60 to 50mph. They are 5 exits up doing 95mph. He tosses the sticks and he slams into them. Back to Kristi who sees his front tires are flat. The car goes into the dirt and kicks up a dust cloud. Over a dozen cars surround him. They tell him to put his hands out, but he doesn’t listen, he’s on the phone. Three guys go up, one breaks the window and another tases him. A K-9 barks madly over him. He is pulled out and cuffed. He has hair like Larry from the Three Stooges and is dragged away. Deputy John Usery says Russ did a good job. Russ cut his hand on the glass while tasing him. It started on Dick Harbor, he was doing over 100, probably drunk. Russ thinks a trooper hit the sticks and shows the front tires that have the spikes in them. He lost both front tires and maneuverability, it’s one of their tools. He ran because he has 3 warrants and his license was suspended in the 1st degree – the highest there is which takes a lot to achieve.

Her grandfather worked on the B&O Railroad, but unfortunately was killed while investigating. (5:37 PM Larceny in Progress) A man stole money from a woman’s purse and took off. The witness is wearing Hong Kong Phooey shirt. Officer Robert Middleton backs her up. The thief took $50 from her and recovered $12. He ran across to the alley and hid. They search him and find needles. The victim says she went into a store and bought water and stuck the money in her purse. A man saw him grab something out of her purse and she looked and saw the money was gone. The thief says he didn’t see him take the money. Officer Ted Otero-Madrid backs him up. He says he didn’t take the money. He is in front of a bizarre apartment with tire planters and all sorts of gaudy trinkets. The woman says she won’t prosecute if she gets the money back. Heather can’t understand it, he needs to be prosecuted to be taught a lesson. She says she has kids his age and jail doesn’t work. Rob finds a cup in a dumpster with $41 in it. She says $38 is hers and the rest is his. Heather then spots a pigeon in the road hit by a car and helps shoo it off the road. She came out to help a person and only rescued a bird.
• Indianapolis, IN – North District – Officer Leon Benjamin says people should realize cops are normal human beings like everyone else, have families, children and hobbies. They enjoy from the heart the work they do. (7:15 PM 911 Hang-Up) The dispatcher tried to call back several times, but couldn’t get through. A man has called saying an elderly woman is being threatened. Leon wants to sneak up on them, but the Fire Dept is there. An old black woman is outside who says a crazy man ran into her house and is tearing the place up and she doesn’t know who he is. He is supposed to have a gun, but the lady says she didn’t see one. He broke the door down and he’s inside on the phone screaming about calling 911 and is still on the phone when they get there. He says he has no weapon. Leon asks about K-9, then the guy opens the door and they run in and grab him. The guy is cuffed and carries on incoherently. He is Terry, a black, skinny guy with cornrows, is drooling and is sorry. He was getting chased and ran home, then ran here so the guys wouldn’t catch him. There is garbage and stuff all over the place. The son shows up. Terry says he was scared, seems gay, ask the neighbors, didn’t know why there were chasing him or who they are. He doesn’t care what they do to him, so they won’t get him now. He has a drug that’s new to the streets, he didn’t know they were police. Leon says he couldn’t look out the window and see 15 police cars out there? He doesn’t care what they say, he’ll look good riding in a wagon. Leon says he’ll get his wish. Terry says there’s some kind of psycho, mentally disturbed. They ask what Terry’s middle name is and he says it don’t make a difference, lock him up. They put him in the wagon and he’ll entertain them as he’s quite loud.

• (Pierce County, WA – 3:59 AM Vehicle Pursuit) Sheriff’s Dept South Hill Precinct – Deputy Eric Carlson is trying to catch up to other units who have been pursuing a vehicle for 10 minutes. They are going to PIT him if the speeds are right. The suspects’ Honda tires are shredding as he takes an exit ramp, he goes over the grass, back onto the road, plays chicken with a car on 54th, then drives through a park and out the back into a residential area. He takes a couple of turns then goes on sidewalk and back into the park. Eric can’t follow as they bail out of the car. A K-9 catches Richard the driver. Sgt. Paul Schneider says he was so stupid and almost killed his friends who were throwing stereo equipment out the windows. Richard says they have the wrong guy since he was just sitting on his porch. They ask him why he’s sweating so hard then. He says the cops scratched him up and dragged him over there. Officer Tim Mallon of the Puyallup PD saw them unloading stereo equipment out of a store. They threw stereos at him while he chased him and took out his lightbar. They’ve been in the pursuit since it started and know it was him. Richard keeps interrupting them and won’t listen and says he’s having an asthma attack and needs an ambulance. Paul says they have a hospital at the jail and asks where his inhaler is. He says it’s in the car which isn’t his, he has his own car, not this one. They say the story is getting old and they are done. It wasn’t hard to catch him since no one else was on the road.
• (Albuquerque, NM – 10:35 PM Officer Assistance Call) Southeast Area Command – Officer Heather Hindi has been working there for three years, before that she met her husband who wasn’t fond of female officers which was their first argument. Now that they are married he won’t start that and she’ll always win. There is a traffic stop at a hotel. The driver is Scott who is very manly, but is dressed as a woman in a blond wig and a glove missing fingers. Officer Chris George questions him. She pulls out Adam the Mexican passenger who says she was going to take him home, but he didn’t know her. Scott drops stuff and is taken out for a drunk test, standing on one foot then goes back in the car. Adam says he’s known her for three months, but doesn’t know her name. He doesn’t know Scott is a man. They don’t believe his story and know they just met. They show him Scott’s license listing him as a male. He says, “Oh wow!” They ask if he wants a cab because he could’ve gotten robbed or worse, but he wants to ride with Scott. Scott gets a failure to yield ticket for $53. He lives out of state and they will pick him up because of the way he’s dressed. They’ve seen it before where a guy pretending to be a woman takes someone home and there are fights and stabbings.
• (Miami, FL – 9:35 PM Street Patrol) North District – Officer Rick Martinez started going to college to be a lawyer then decided he wanted to be on the other side catching the guys. He applied and that was 12 years ago. An area called Edison is a high drug area and it’s hard to catch dealers because of the narrow alleys they run in and hide. He spots a big black guy, Jerome, in an American flag doorag and gives chase. They corner him so he gives up. They cuff him, arrest him. And find crack cocaine nearby. He’s got a Jamaican accent and says he ran because he was scared and the drugs aren’t his. A guy was fighting with his girlfriend and she put his clothes in the garbage can. He says the drugs aren’t his, but he’s been arrested for possession before. Rick asks what’s up with him tossing the drugs like a football right in front of him. Jerome wants to know what he’s being charged with. His story doesn’t make sense, if he’s in a fight why is he running toward her. He says he ran because he thought his girlfriend called the cops. If you have more than three bags on you it’s possession with intent to sell and he has 15 bags on him. He keeps saying it’s not his. He knows the game and will probably be back on the streets tomorrow doing the same thing.
