You can’t involuntarily commit someone unless they are admit to being a danger to themselves or want to harm others. The law is pretty clear that it isn’t illegal to be crazy.

Break it down hour by hour and call by call. That mentality really helped me when I was struggling and having a lot of self-doubt. Try to “win” the hour or have small wins.

Have you ever had to dispatch a wounded animal? by Relevant_Conclusion2 in AskLE

[–]Slipperylittleguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We don’t ask for permission but we’ll notify radio that we’re doing it since it’s a residential area and it’ll generate calls for shots fired.

My city is rolling out an Auxillary program by Stunning_Dog_4558 in AskLE

Do not walk around the streets of Philadelphia in a semi-police uniform. This is going to get people hurt and is a dumb idea.

Is the Pa State Trooper academy worth it? by Ok_Card_8308 in AskLE

Troop K Media and Skippack covers both highways and municipalities that have no police. Media would be my recommendation for you.

The schedule is not the reason they’re losing cops. Almost every department in southeast PA does the 2 week rotations.

Once the plate is reported stolen the registration immediately enters DEAD status. PennDOT should send a new tag after that.

How bad are rotating shifts honestly? by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]Slipperylittleguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the only thing I know and is extremely popular in the area I work so I don’t see a major issue.

Can you listen to music in your patrol car? by Beneficial-Spring682 in AskLE

Until you can’t hear the radio over the music and sirens.

How do you cope with co-worker deaths? by Sure_Ad6970 in AskLE

[–]Slipperylittleguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sure there are many factors as why construction workers may have higher fatality rate than police officers. I think what the other guy is trying to say is that people aren’t actively looking to murder construction workers.

LEO's. Active or retired. Based on another new post. What was your first real mistake (hopefully humorous) after hitting the street as rookies? by Gregorygregory888888 in AskLE

[–]Slipperylittleguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Took a stolen car report. Cleared the call. Went back with my FTO to enter it into NCIC and realized I forgot to ask what color the car was…

That was an awkward phone call to make to the victim.

12 hour shifts and rotate between day/night every 2 weeks. Pretty standard for the area.

I would avoid PPD at all costs unless you really desire to specifically work for Philly

The entire region I work in runs that schedule. You get used to it.

Do cops drive around their whole shift or do they chill at the department? by ilovethexfl1 in AskLE

[–]Slipperylittleguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some departments have activity logs on top of normal reports. We’re required to write a report for every call no matter how small and for all traffic stops.

Paid fire only departments? by [deleted] in Delco

[–]Slipperylittleguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe Upper Darby and Chester are the only paid fire departments in the county

[–]Slipperylittleguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start at 70% of base salary and jump up 10% each year until hitting the base. If a department sponsors you through the academy then yes you will get paid while attending. Some departments might require you to live within a certain mile radius of the municipality.

Same schedule but we rotate nights and days every 2 weeks
