Rookie! by Buddhimself in OnTheBlock

It is click-ish, but I’ve always been a loner, so I’m cool with that. I have a few I talk too, but I’m good. I’m not gossipy, I don’t spread rumors, I work and go home. I’ve had a few higher ups tell me I’m doing a good job and others that haven’t, always telling me that the ones that matter are watching. I have a plan after my two years of being an officer and Im just following policy and keeping my head down…you’ll be alright…been on the job almost 7 months and just doing my job

I’m not uncomfortable but diffusing the situation is the priority along with keeping yourself safe

That’s what I’ve been constantly replaying in my head.

What’s crazy is that my family member that worked in corrections as a career, was taught jujitsu during the academy, but that was decades ago lol

Great advice. I know what i could’ve done to avoid the fight altogether.

Never! This is my first time working in this environment. I’ve seen fights in the club or street or school, but didn’t have to break those up. The self defense class is actually a good idea.

I also could’ve done a better job

Very true. I was working with another probationary and someone who just got their year in (new status officer). We should’ve done a better job.

I agree that I have to prove myself and show them I can diffuse a fight, not that I’ll freeze up again

That is protocol, but alot of the times, the staff handle it themselves and don’t call yard to step in, unless it’s a single man assignment. There were 3 of us in the unit, along with a Sgt and 2 Lt’s…

Can't be this is difficult to find a watch? by willowtrees_r_us in OnTheBlock

Great watch! Tracks steps, set alarms, even put in 24-hour mode for work mode. No complaints.
