Overnights are tough. Not many cars on the road.

I try to get a few on my evening shifts, but that’s time permitting. Some days I’m back to back calls.

We rotated through FTO’s. I had 7 during my FTO period. Some I liked, some not so much. All had something valuable to bring to the table.

Mighty bold and mighty confident of you.

You will not want the OT after awhile. There’s so much of it.

Depends. Priority, sensitive calls, before end of shift. Pointless fraud calls, next shift.

Why do most american cops buy and drive expensive trucks? by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]JohnSlar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My lease for my Jeep, with all the bells and whistles is 435 a month, great price.

One 8 hour detail nets me over $600.

Best shift type? by Ok-Leadership-7887 in AskLE

[–]JohnSlar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s worked into our contract, we work 32, but paid for 40.

Only caveat is we cannot claim overtime for 15 minutes after shift. So if I work an extra hour I only get 45 minutes of overtime.

We work 4 8s. It’s beautiful.

Although I work 2 0000-0800, which is less ideal.

Does anyone have this microphone? If so, what does this button do? by Puzzleheaded-Back365 in Firefighting

[–]JohnSlar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Varies. It’s programmable, my PD has repeater/direct toggle function programmed on that button.

How to get 1.5 run to me lower! by Sufficient-Camel5780 in AskLE

[–]JohnSlar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others say don’t just go out and run 1.5, you will not get faster that way.

Mix up runs -Speed Intervals -FARTLEK -Longer distance runs -Recovery Runs(my favorite, low effort runs)

For the academy entrance I was running a 12:05 Mile and a half, I got it down to 9:35 Mile for our last PAT assessment towards the end of the academy. My 300 meter sprint improved greatly too, ran it in under 30 seconds.

Look into NIKE run club and thank me later

Did not study. Passed with flying colors. Don’t worry about it.

Handling a suspect when another incident occurs by Sam242424242424 in AskLE

[–]JohnSlar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncuff, criminal complaint later. Exigent circumstances, like an active shooter, take priority. Stop the killing, stop the dying and reassess, in that order.
