North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 18 The first arrest

"Noah, are you sure what you just said is the correct procedure? Shouldn't we give first aid immediately? Rescuing people is the most urgent thing to do."

"Jimmy, I know you are a good person, caring, and caring about others. However, as police officers, we must first protect ourselves and eliminate all risks in advance, and then save others. The police have no obligation to protect specific individuals. What we protect is

It’s public safety.”

Noah's words had a huge impact on Jimmy. The standard solution in China is to prioritize the rescue and evacuation of the victims, and the safety of people's lives and property as the first priority. However, in the United States, it has become the police's own safety.

First, the police do not have the duty to protect individuals???

Jimmy was thinking while driving, driving at a snail's pace. Noah no longer urged him to drive faster. After several months of cooperation with Jimmy, he also understood Jimmy's character. This completely professional and process-oriented solution really needed

It takes some time to adapt. Jimmy has not gone through long-term police academy training, so he can only be taught bit by bit while handling cases.

"Adam47, robbery, intersection of West 12th Street and South College Avenue, passers-by called the police, a black man robbed a woman and ran west along West 12th Street."

"Adam47 received."

Jimmy turned on his police lights and siren, and accelerated toward West 12th Street. After arriving at West 12th Street, he began to pay attention to the pedestrians along the way, and then found a commotion in front of him. Jimmy drove the police car and rushed over, reached the crowd, got out of the car and closed the door.

Pulling out his baton and shouting for everyone to get out of the way, he saw a black man turning at the intersection and running towards Cleveland Street, while a woman shouted "help!"

He called Noah on the walkie-talkie and asked him to drive to Cleveland Street first, then put away his baton and ran after him.

Jimmy's physical fitness was pretty good. Although he was equipped with all the equipment, his speed would not drop too much in the short term. He fell far behind the suspect, about dozens of meters away. He chased while shouting "Pulaski County Police

, stop." Of course, shouting has no effect. The main thing is to let yourself complete the process and then keep running.

He ran for about a block, with College Park ahead of him. Jimmy sped up and chased after him. If the suspect entered the park, whether it was flowers, plants or woods, it would seriously affect the view and possibly cause the suspect to escape. This was his first time handling a case alone.

, As for Noah, the intercom just replied that if there is no danger, he will not participate in any arrest operations, but will just follow behind in his car.

"Pulaski County Sheriff, please step aside."

Jimmy rushed through the crowds on the roadside and followed the suspect into the park. Then he discovered in despair that there were not many trees in this park. It was a winding walk with several grassy areas at intervals. In this environment, unless he was arrested as soon as possible, he would not be able to wait.

If you enter the woods, you will definitely be chased.

Jimmy continued to pursue, and the distance shortened from the original dozens of meters to about 3 or 40 meters. The suspect in front also ran towards the woods with a clear target. The flower belts on both sides of the trail rushed directly towards him. Jimmy pressed on

Following him, he also stepped over the flowers.

As they approached the woods, good luck struck. The suspect tripped over a camping tent on the grass and rolled directly onto the grass. Before he could get up, Jimmy arrived from behind and pounced on him.

on the suspect.

"Pulaski County Sheriff, don't move." Jimmy grabbed the suspect's right arm, bent him backwards, took out the handcuffs from behind, cuffed them directly, pressed his arms against the suspect's body, and pulled the suspect from the other side.

His left hand was also pulled behind the suspect's back. After being handcuffed, the suspect gave up the struggle completely. Jimmy took the opportunity to conduct a preliminary search on the suspect to ensure that there was no weapon hidden on the suspect's body.

"Noah, the suspect has been caught, where is he?" "At the entrance of the park, come here."

Jimmy pulled up the suspect, picked up a woman's handbag on the ground, and walked back to the park entrance along the trail. People in the park pointed at them, but no one came up to watch.

Jimmy threw the suspect into the cage in the back seat, walked back to the driver's seat, and drove back to West 12th Street. He still needed to pick up the owner, briefly question the caller, and go through the process.

Jimmy found the owner and the caller on the street, made a note on the spot, and asked the owner to go to the police station in the afternoon to verify the lost property, and then drove the suspect back to the police station.

After the custody process was completed, Jimmy and Noah walked out of the police station and went to the food truck next to them. This was a Mexican-style food truck and the most convenient place for lunch near the police station.

"Noah, how am I doing today?"

"It's okay. There are some minor problems, but they don't affect my evaluation. We will continue in the afternoon."

After lunch, Jimmy and the two set out again. Noah was still dressed in casual clothes, with his police badge hanging on his belt and covered by clothes. It seemed that he planned to carry out the FTO casual clothes day to the end.

The boring patrol continued, and a street "party" of a group of delinquent teenagers was broken up on the road. In fact, it was just a few pushes, not even a fight. If it reaches the level of fighting, then you can consider adding some experience in handling cases, but

Just push them a few times and disperse them directly to save some trouble.

At around 3 p.m., Jimmy received news from dispatch about a domestic violence case, so he drove over.

Jimmy got out of the car and stood outside the wooden fence and looked at the target house. Something was wrong. There were some pieces of furniture scattered on the lawn in front of the house. It seemed that they were thrown from the second floor window. The door was closed and there was no sound from outside.

.

He walked to the side of the door and knocked on the door, "Pulaski County Sheriff, open the door."

After knocking several times and getting no response, he walked to the side and looked in through the window, but found no one in the dining room or kitchen.

"Adam47 responded. No one responded in the room. There is broken furniture on the grass. It is suspected that it was thrown from the second floor. Can you contact the person who called the police? I need to check the information."

"The caller was their neighbor, Mary."

"Adam47 received."

Jimmy turned around and went to the neighbor to inquire about the news. Before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly heard a crash and a thick book fell from the second floor, almost hitting him on the head.

"Adam47 reported that a book was thrown down from the second floor. Someone should be here. I want to go in and check."

Jimmy pulled out his pistol, kicked open the door with both feet, and walked into the room little by little. He first checked the first floor to make sure no one was walking up the stairs. He looked upstairs along the turn in the middle of the stairs and made sure it was safe before walking up.

, after checking two rooms, they found a young man sitting against the wall with blood on his head and his arms hanging down.

"Pulaski County Sheriff, what happened?" Jimmy put away his pistol and walked over to do a basic check on the young man. He had a head injury and his left arm was dislocated. There was no fracture but he seemed unable to lift it.

"My stepfather was drunk and he beat me. He just went out." The young man briefly told what happened.
