North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 109 Daily

Jimmy returned to the police station, and after canceling his leave with his boss, he continued his boring studies. For people like Jimmy, a stable and accident-free life is a good life.

During working hours, he is on call at the police station, ready to provide support at any time. At the same time, he has enough time to study. When he is tired, he can practice his reloading skills. Jimmy really likes this kind of day. The sun is not shining outside and the room is air-conditioned.

Open up, no other job can be so easy.

After get off work, whether he was working out or going out for recreation, Jimmy became more and more like a local. With plenty of time, Jimmy also reviewed the military boxing and fighting skills that he had briefly learned in his previous life, although he had not practiced them at the beginning. No matter how fancy it is, as a police officer, you still need a little bit of force to ensure your own safety.

As the police department is split into various branches, there is no need for the headquarters to care about things that the branches can handle, so Jimmy has not even seen Kagg and the others recently.

Time has slowly come to October. After autumn, the weather gradually turns cooler, and the number of police officers in each branch has increased. At the same time, some of the new police officers who previously participated in practical training have now begun to patrol independently.

For Jimmy and other veteran police officers, the biggest advantage is that with enough people working shifts, their working hours have slowly returned to the normal 40 hours a week, that is, 8-10 hours a day, no more than 12 hours at most.

hours, 4-5 days a week, and have more rest time than before. Of course, the negative impact is that their total overtime wages have become less.

In the past, the legal working time was 40 hours a week, and the actual working time was 60 hours or more. Jimmy used to have a 12-hour shift and work 5-6 days a week. The extra working hours were paid as overtime wages, or he applied for paid holidays.

Overtime wages are generally calculated at 1.5 times.

In addition, the salary of night shift police officers is a little higher than that of day shift police officers. The rules of each police station are different, some are 5%, and some are 10%. Therefore, many police officers are willing to work overtime or adjust their working hours to get more salary.

There are also differences in the overtime that is recalled after get off work. Depending on the length of time since last get off work or next work, there are also different calculation rules. Let’s give two examples. They are not universal, but have certain universality. .

First, Jimmy works the evening shift and goes to work at 6 p.m., and is asked by the police station to come back and work overtime after 2 p.m., and ends at 4 p.m., so the overtime time is calculated directly from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Second, Jimmy works the day shift and gets off work at 6 p.m., and is called back at 8 p.m. and works until 12 p.m., so the overtime calculation is directly from 6 p.m. to 12 p.m.

Jimmy now has extra income, so he really doesn't want to take the initiative to work extra overtime just because he wants some overtime pay. However, his current role is in the support team, so he naturally has to work more hours than others. This is passive overtime.

Jimmy didn't complain about anything. The key was that he was really relaxed when he didn't go out to support. He really liked this arrangement.

Jimmy's recent police duties have mostly been for chores, such as supporting the state police in highway stops, supporting other police officers in maintaining the scene, etc. This is also normal police behavior.

According to statistics, the proportion of police officers handling violent cases only accounts for 4-5% of their daily work. The rest of the time, they basically respond to 911 or daily patrols, and handle some daily matters and non-violent cases.

Violent cases refer to vicious cases such as murder, rape, shooting, kidnapping, etc.

For cases that the patrol police can handle on their own, Jimmy will basically not be asked to provide support. However, there are not many shooting cases recently. The police on the scene or nearby supporting police can handle them. Jimmy did not get a chance to shoot.

Since Jimmy switched to support, his desk work has been greatly reduced, but he does much more other work than when he was a patrol officer.

In recent days, Jimmy has been in a tragic period of backup. The number of bailiffs in the local circuit court (which is under the jurisdiction of the county sheriff's office, not the U.S. federal marshals) is slightly insufficient. Jimmy has been forced to temporarily serve as a security guard for the circuit court.

Jimmy also took over the work, including the handover of prisoners that was originally handled by the bailiffs.

I believe that most people who often watch American TV series have seen the plot of court trials. There are many bailiffs standing around the court, usually standing around to maintain order, leading suspects into the court and escorting them out, etc. Jimmy does not need to enter the court.

Inside, what he needs to do is to do security work outside the court. To put it more vividly, it may be equivalent to our court security...

All kinds of people came to the court, including suspects participating in the trial, relatives and friends of the suspects, observers, law-related lawyers, prosecutors, judges, juries...

Jimmy's eyes have been opened these past few days. The people he met while patrolling on the road or supporting others in handling cases were completely different from the people he saw in the court.

I’ve seen more than three or five of those guys who can’t hide their scumbag vibe even though they put on a suit...

There are also people who go crazy and make trouble in the court...

There are also people flying leaves in the court...

There were also people who hid their guns and brought them to the court...

There are even more bizarre people who directly attack the bailiff in the court and then escape...

In addition to leaving Jimmy and the others busy, these people did not succeed in escaping. Instead, they were charged with several more crimes.

As the only Chinese-American policeman in the county police department, Jimmy's reputation is still very high within the police force. At least during this time in court, there was no fighting between his fellow officers.

But it was different for those who came to attend the trial. Some scumbags had the courage to make discriminatory remarks or use physical violence in front of their faces. Jimmy was not polite and directly took them down and threw them to the people from the district attorney's department who temporarily participated in the circuit court.

, although it won't have much effect, at least multiple charges will allow them to pay more bail or stay in a free room for a few more days.

In public, Jimmy can't do too many tricks. It's unrealistic to expect to meet them when he goes back to the police. Jimmy no longer participates in patrols.

Of course, as a police officer, Jimmy still has all the powers of a police officer, including going out on the road to issue tickets when he is bored.

Being a bailiff is really a hard job, and it is far less comfortable than being a patrolman. After finally surviving this round of circuit court, Jimmy returned to the police station directly, determined not to do such a bad thing again.

When it comes to security matters like this, even if you switch with people from other districts, it's better to go out on the road and look for unlucky people than to look at those scum in the court. The key is that those vulture lawyers can make people lose in many cases.

These scum have their sentences commuted or even acquitted.

It is difficult for the police to be friendly towards lawyers because what they do is naturally the opposite.
