North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 8 Entering the Palace for the Second Time

"Noah, there is nothing wrong with the person you arrested yesterday. He is clean and has no criminal record. When he was found yesterday, he had no weapons and no contraband. It seems that he was just unlucky and appeared at the wrong time at the wrong time yesterday.

Wrong location."

"What did the restaurant say?"

"The time is right, he did leave around 10 o'clock."

Noah spread his hands helplessly. The events from the home invasion to the gunfight last night developed so fast. Someone who found someone running on the road at night would definitely misunderstand.

"Let's go and let our unfortunate guy go home."

Noah returned to the interrogation room, opened the door and said to Jimmy: "The investigation is clear, you can go back. Follow me, your backpack is outside."

Noah took Jimmy back to his backpack, opened it and checked it. His clothes and wallet were all there. Jimmy put on his backpack and walked out of the police station.

When he came outside, Jimmy turned around and took a look at the police station. The Pulaski County Sheriff's Department logo was hanging on the door. Looking at this somewhat familiar logo, Jimmy thought of the gas station convenience store robbery two days ago, and the people who went to the scene at that time.

The police car also has this logo.

Walking to the roadside, Jimmy looked both ways and was dumbfounded. He had never been here before, and he didn't have a map in his hand. He couldn't find Asher Street and didn't know how to get back to the restaurant.

Reluctantly, Jimmy returned to the police station and found the front desk.

"Hi ma'am, can I borrow a map?"

"Jimmy, why are you back?"

Before the girl at the front desk responded, Jimmy heard someone calling his name from behind. When he turned around, he found that it was Officer Noah who had just sent him out.

"I don't know the way back to the restaurant, officer. I'd like to borrow a map."

"Follow me, I'll take you there. You're lucky, I just have to go out on patrol."

Officer Noah took Jimmy to the parking lot. Jimmy opened the rear door and said, "Sit in front." Jimmy sat in the passenger seat and Noah started the police car and set off.

…

"Thank you, officer." Jimmy thanked him, got out of the car, and returned to the restaurant.

It was already 10 noon. Jimmy waited at the door for a while, and Jon arrived.

"Jimmy, what happened last night? The county police department just called me to ask about your situation."

Jon asked as he opened the door and the two walked into the restaurant.

"It's so unlucky. On my way back yesterday, I happened to encounter the police dealing with a home invasion robbery. There was a shootout. I was implicated and stayed in the hospital for one night."

"Damn, are you hurt?"

"No, I was just knocked unconscious. People from the police station sent me back this morning."

"It's okay. You can go and rest first."

Jimmy went to the lounge to change clothes and lay down on the bench to rest.

Looking back on what I have experienced in the past two days, it is really too exciting. I was homeless, working, encountered a car accident, two crimes in two days, and was pointed at a gun. I entered the police station and the hospital. This is the United States of America.

Can it be cured? It's so messed up. My big heart, which has been tempered by so many fire dangers in my previous life, can't bear it. In this kind of social security, it's really difficult to be a law-abiding civilian with peace of mind.

Jacob and Erica arrived at the restaurant. Jacob saw Jimmy and asked him with a smile: "Jimmy, why are you at the police station this morning?"

Jimmy repeated his unfortunate experience, "How did you know I was at the police station?"

Jacob laughed, showing his big white teeth. "Of course I know, I am AP (Auxiliary police), I just received a call from the police station to inquire before I went out."

"What is AP?"

"Auxiliary police, I have been working as an AP for several years, and now I occasionally work part-time during my vacation."

"Can police officers still work part-time? I have no idea."

"Hahaha, many people haven't noticed that AP has its own police badge, and the police station also has a dedicated police car with AP logo." Jacob said as he took out a police badge from his pocket. The hexagonal police badge is

The Pulaski County Police badge style, but with Auxiliary in front of the police officer.

"AP is a volunteer, and the working hours are relatively free. I only go to the police station to apply for assistance tasks when I have a break."

"Does AP get paid?"

"AP is a volunteer and does not have a fixed salary. However, the police station will provide subsidies for attendance. Of course, as you know, it is very small."

"Sounds good, can I do AP?"

"Of course, I will take you to the police station to report in the afternoon, and then just take the time to participate in the police station's training."

"Thanks, Jacob."

The daily life of the restaurant is very boring, and sometimes very busy. After the noon business, Jacob drove Jimmy to the Pulaski County Police Station again.

Looking at the police station building, Jimmy was speechless. He entered the police station twice in one day. This was considered his second visit to the palace.

"Good afternoon, Chief James."

"Hey, Jacob, are you on duty today?"

"Of course not, I'm not on vacation yet. This is Jimmy, a member of our restaurant, and he wants to sign up for AP."

"OK, you go find Amy to register."

"Okay, goodbye, sir."

Jimmy followed Jacob to an office, "Amy, help register an AP. The Sheriff has agreed."

"That's great, Jacob, you are so considerate. We just don't have enough staff recently."

Amy took out some documents from the filing cabinet next to her, took out one and handed it to Jimmy, "Please fill in the documents."

Jimmy picked up the document, sat down at the nearby table and began filling it out.

"Amy, what do you mean by insufficient manpower?"

"The police academy has not had enough students for two consecutive years. You know, the salary here is relatively low, and those people have chosen to go to police academies in other states. Now there are not enough county police officers, and there are many registered APs.

, but there are fewer and fewer people who can come. And you, think about the last time you came to the police station? It must have been more than 2 years."

"Hahaha, you know, I got married and need more time to spend with my family. Erica also wants to go on vacation this Christmas."

"Yeah, so you see the other APs are pretty much the same as you."

"Sorry, AP is just a personal wish, we should respect other people's choices."

"Yeah, so we can only work overtime. Now the police station basically doesn't have regular breaks. Everyone is working overtime."

Jimmy filled out the form and handed it to Amy.

"OK, Jimmy, we will conduct a background check and notify you within three days. If there are no problems, you will need to participate in 16 weeks of training according to regulations, including legal training, first aid knowledge on the scene, police situation training, physical training, etc.

.For related content, you can ask Jacob, he has also participated in these trainings. We will inform you of other content later."

"OK."

"Okay, we're done, let's go back to the restaurant. Amy, come to my house to taste my special spicy barbecue when you have time, you will definitely like it. Bye." Jacob said, then motioned for Jimmy to follow, turned and walked out of the office
