Less admin, more action!
Too tired to blog terribly much, but briefly...
Exciting, disorientating and tiring!
Highlights/notables:
- One for the album - my first ever patrol job? A cheery one. Attempted drug/alcohol overdose. Attended with paramedics, having been called by care worker. Person was severely depressed and suicidal.
- Riding in a police car at high speed with blue lights flashing and sirens sounding, is just as cool as you ever imagined it would be. No-doubt the novelty will wear off pretty soon, but for now...
- Breath-tested my first driver.
My tutor seems like a sound bloke, I think we'll get on well. He also lives in the same town so we'll plan to car-share to work, saving me some petrol-money at least.
Today was a day shift, tomorrow we're on 22:00 through 07:00 the following morning.
So, how to approach the night shift...
Stay up late tonight?
Stay up all throughout tomorrow?
Sleep during the day?
There goes the body-clock...

It sounds like you've made a good start on your career. Well done.
Excellent! :)
I hope today (tonight) has gone at least just as well :)
Where were you riding to in the police car? :)
I just got back in from a wander and saw a police van go zooshing past with its lights flashing :) So let us know whether it's only half as much fun tonight, with no sirens :)
Oh, and what were the results of the breath test? :)
Hope it was another fantastic day :)
Just as much fun riding shotgun in a policecar without sirens & blue lights going. As for results, can't elaborate on that I'm afraid...
Thanks again for all the best wishes y'all!
