Geography and code runs

Another difference between city agencies and county is the size.
Take a look at a map if you know what county i am in, 4th bigiest in the state.
So when you get he call at the tip of the north edge, prepare for the hour code run.
Nothing better than 80 mph up a straight road in the night.
Nothing to see

And so far all of the calls have been, kind of a joke anyway.

-I am here (an hour later) what happened.

Incident #1 "my son was drunk. as soon as i called the police he left (1 hour ago), so I don't need anything, sorry you came.

Incident #2 "well he didn't point a gun at anyone, we didn't see a gun. we just heard a gun shot".
in the county? really?

Meanwhile the other person has gone to bed and can't be woken up, beside there was no crime.

Then there is the close to two hours drive back, because you have to do the speed limit.

You can't respond to calls. You don't get a good radio station and you have to gas before you do anything.

Can you bring a book-on-CD to listen to on the drive back, or are you not allowed to listen to stuff like that while working? Might make the time pass for you while you are out of radio range at least.

Brudha,

Get a Griffin iTrip for your IPod. It will let you play your tunes on FM stations.
