Default Sheriff's

I don't understand why sheriff's call a sector car down when they have a p/u of a 10-10. I think they forget they are cops too. Does anyone know why? Are they not allowed to scratch out the quick field? I understand they sometimes may be in travel. But this happens often and they wait 20 minutes for me to get there and then take off. So if anyone work for the sheriffs department a little advise, just scratch out the quick paperwork you look foolish calling for the real police to help you although they won't say it to your face!

Default sheriffs

you can thank your highway patrol for complaining we were handling mv104's on "THEIR HIGHWAY". most deps would be more than happy to handle a 10. we were told to turn them over to whatever agency handles it..ie district pd, southampton, village pd etc. because of complaints made by your agency. as far as waiting for the "real: police to show up..i don't think sh&t stirring is necessary. most deps were former law enforcement and aren't exactly terrified to handle what your perceive as real police work. if i am doing v&t an sunrise or the L.I.E , highway will stop and check if everything is ok and the same with sector cars, and i am more than happy to do the same. i never understood why agencies in this county get into pissing contests with each other (scso vs scpd, deps vs c/o's) If you read the paper, this is not a law enforcement friendly world we live in, so instead of getting into turf wars why not be happy to see another cop back you on a car stop. if

Too bad police officers brought this upon themselves by admitting they consider their job and the people they work with as an extension of their family.

Thus, the creation of the blue wall of silence.

Would you be friendly towards people who are paid to have honor and integrity, claim they have honor and integrity, yet take it upon themselves to decide when they choose to emply their integrity?

Default Answer

In response to F. Hardwick's question, how could members of law enforcement NOT protect themselves by utilizing what you call the "blue wall"? I can't speak for the P.D. or the Deputy division of my Dept., but I know for a fact that there are those people who see us as nothing more than walking targets for baseless lawsuits, and this County is nothing more than an ATM for them to live off of.

We are constantly put in situations that place our careers, if not our freedom, at risk, with nothing to protect us but the word of our coworkers. I'm talking about situations that are not what one would consider within the 'scope of an Officer's duties'. Are there a few who abuse their authority? My answer is that every agency out there is not immune from hiring those who tarnish the reputable work being done by the majority. These are the few who provide red meat to the scandal craved media, especially the leftist papers we have around here. How many articles have you read where an inmate was saved from killing himself, or an inmate was rescued from being assaulted by gang members? Is this the job? Yes, but all I see in the papers are articles devoted to exploiting the ridiculously false claims of brutality or mistreatment of inmates.

My job is not my family, it's what I do, not who I am. I do rely on my fellow Officer's to watch my back and for the most part I work with excellent, professional people. We do live in an increasingly hostile world towards law enforcement, as that previous poster said. We didn't create that environment, we're just trying to protect ourselves from it.
