A reserve I spent alot of time with training, got hired by a different agency.
While still in his training stage, he is order to pick up a drunk and drop them in our pond.
The drunk is seen several minutes later being disorderly.
I go out with the drunk and realize he was dumped in our pond.
I call the other officer
-it is your guy, you going to clean up your mess
there is a pause, I can hear a training officer in the background "nope".
-alright, I am going to dump him right back
I don't. I don't like when it is done to me and I don't do it to them.
I transport the soaked in his own piss drunk to detox.
The old reserve calls later.
"I am sorry, but I was ordered too. I know better.'
-its okay, keep your head down and mouth shut til off probation
"You trained me better and it sucks I have to fake it til I make it. I have to prove my loyalty by dumping on you guys. It drives me crazy."
-I know that. I know your good officer.
He blows of steam, happy to have a friendly ear.
