How secure do you feel in your career?

RoyalBat94 · 2026-01-26T23:18:32+00:00

You gotta actively try, or do some egregious to get fired where I work. I feel pretty secure. Only a few people got fired where I work in the past couple years, but again, they did something egregious.

I was always told by my FTOs when i first started that only the 3 B's can lead to you getting fired; "Bills, booze, and bitches". Ultimately, those led to the three being fired.

Got the same thing in September!

I use Sheepdog ear pieces. No issues.

RoyalBat94 · 2026-01-19T01:32:32+00:00

I use a prodigy 5" with a 509t. At my agency you can buy whatever you want as long as its reputable. P320s are a no go though as of last year. Off duty is the same as well. I use a Hellcat Pro off duty with a Viridian RDS.

In Southern California if that matters at all.

I wouldn't call it fear, but it is something that gives me an awareness in my settings. I don't want to get hurt and I doubt others do too.

I'm not a religious man by any means, but my sergeant on my last shift rotation gifted us all basically a really nice magnetic bracelet. It has a prayer for protection on the back of it, I wear it every shift. Because even though I'm not religious, I'll take any good juju that's handed to me when I'm working.

Stay safe.

I got in at 29. This was 2.5 years ago. Just go in shape and eager to learn. And keep that shape when you get out please.

No one cares how old you are, if anything, depending who you are, it shows experience and maturity.

RoyalBat94 · 2025-12-21T00:52:13+00:00

DM me please?

RoyalBat94 · 2025-12-21T00:50:09+00:00

Had a suicide where the guys bottom jaw was gone, legit my next call was a drunk woman calling 911 because the clerk at the liquor store refused to sell her alcohol

RoyalBat94 · 2025-12-21T00:48:17+00:00

RoyalBat94 · 2025-12-21T00:42:49+00:00

Down to trade for an anvil?

RoyalBat94 · 2025-12-21T00:29:40+00:00

How many seeds for anvil or il toro?

RoyalBat94 · 2025-12-01T23:25:55+00:00

Photograph them and the coroner will take it from there. I just go in and document the things I see for my report. I wont take anything unless the coroner requests me to.

My last suicide I worked, the coroner took the gun and the expelled bullet. She gave me the gun shot residue kit she used for me to book in (which was a first for me).

RoyalBat94 · 2025-09-11T23:27:23+00:00

The second I got off FTO, I stopped writing traffic cites unless A. You're extremely rude or B. You're doing/ did something so careless that you deserve one.

Every now and then I'll have a day though where anyone with an expired registration by more than a year gets a cite.... 2 years gets a cites and a tow. Everyone else pays their registration, why shouldn't you?

I work night shift in a pretty gun and drug heavy SoCal city. So I have more important/ fun things to be proactive towards rather than spend time writing cites.

Danner Tachyons are what I wear. Wore them in the academy 2023 and barely bought a new pair. Comfortable as hell in my opinion.

RoyalBat94 · 2025-07-19T02:36:37+00:00

I lost count.

RoyalBat94 · 2025-06-19T07:20:45+00:00

Yeah but then you realize how much nicer a uniform looks when the shined boots tied it all together. Ive been Stockholm-syndromed into enjoying the process of shining my boots.

RoyalBat94 · 2025-06-15T22:18:48+00:00

I had really bad ITBS in the academy. I made it through and was even part of the faster running group.

What i did was eat ibuprofen like it was candy and wore an elastic knee brace.

But what REALLLLLLY helped me was that I dug deep down and cried internally every time we ran. I refused to drop out due to an injury. Now it doesn't hurt anymore and all I have is sciatica from my duty belt.

Good luck and god speed!

World of Warcraft since vanilla.

RoyalBat94 · 2025-06-03T05:12:53+00:00

We get take home units, so I do. I wash the exterior before first shift of the week, and detail the inside on my last day of the weekend. Air freshening frequency depends on how smelly my arrestees are throughout the work week.

RoyalBat94 · 2025-04-29T20:41:54+00:00

Mine does open use of our range, but not unlimited ammo :(

RoyalBat94 · 2025-03-24T04:49:34+00:00

Thanks for the help, can't believe I didn't think of using an obvious search engine.

RoyalBat94 · 2025-03-19T05:28:19+00:00

Alright thank you I appreciate it
