Why I like public service...

Here's spot where you can post your favorite funny story...why we all like public service. Here...

My partner and I were out patrolling one night and we get a call to a medical. I'm a certified instructor so hey, I'm ready to give care when called. But my partner seemed nervous.

We get to the scene at the apartment building and a lady comes out screaming...

"Oh my God! my husband is having an epilectic seizure!" and she points in the direction of the bathroom. We go in and find her husband convulsing in the bathtub.

My partner is not used to the site of people jerking and drooling

and he got nervous too and said.."Oh cheeze! There's an epilectic having a seizure in the bathtub...what do we do?"

I couldn't help it...after you see this stuff for a while you get a sick sense of humor

so I casually said..."throw in the laundry".

RE: Why I like public service...

I busted a shoplifter once who couldn't stop complaining about how tight the handcuffs were. They weren't tight, but ya'll know how it goes. Finally I get tired of his incessant whining and say, "Well, of course they're tight! They're not made for comfort, they're made to restrain you. What, you want comfortable cuffs? The fur lined ones? Tell me, do you want to go to jail, or do you want me to make love to you? Which one is it?" Turns out, thankfully, that he rather go to jail.

handcuffs....

Speaking of handcuffs....

I had the wonderful opportunity to uh...show off my equipment. I did the Shop with a Cop program for Christmas, only they called it "Shop with a Hero". There were firefighters, deputies, two police departments (one being mine), soldiers from the Army, and I think the other was Air Force (in a jump suit anyway), also there were EMT's from the ambulance service in the area. We are all having pizza and cake before we take the kids to go spend the money donated to them, and I took my assigned kid up to get cake.

While we were in line, a nice wonderful firefighter asked me if his assigned kid could see a "real" set of handcuffs. Well...I think all of the emergency people including the military knows what I carry because I got all sorts of funny reactions and the jokes flew like wildfire one I showed them.

Being the nice public servant that I am, I told the firefighter "Sure! I'll be glad to show the kids", and I pull out my RED handcuffs. Yes...they are red. The kid kinda gave a funny look, and the firefighter was a bit surprised (he asked me if those were really the real ones). Probably thinking I got my bedroom set mixed up with the uh...duty ones. But nope...I told him "Why yes sir, these are my handcuffs." Of course by know I had the attention of all the males around me and I had to maintain my grace in explaining to the small child why my handcuffs are red. And the kid took them from me and played around with them for a few minutes mumbling about they are heavy and "I thought they were silver like in the movies"....

One of my fellow officers standing near by raises his eyebrow at me and gets that shit eating grin. Which I could only laugh because I know damn well what he's thinking. And he know's that I know. So he could only ask, because there are kids around, "So why are your handcuffs red?" and I said, "Because...I'm a girl, that's why!" (red she said...) :-)

Then one of the other firefighters came up and said..."Oh yeah...I got a pair like that at home, except it has fuzzy stuff around them"...He winks at me.

By the time they got done with me I think I was about as red as the handcuffs, but it sure was a good laugh!

(true story)

OfcRachelT - In the corrections system they use colored handcuffs to color code prisoners. Red ones usually are for prisoners with medical issues, green ones mean low-risk, yellow transport with caution, orange = high risk, etc... It depends on the organization depends on what the code means

But yea...patrol cops probably find it kind of unique girl...lol! Firefighters find it a turn on. They like anything red (trucks, hydrants, handcuffs - lol)

So that's how you plan on spending time with your ladies of the night for the new year...u funny as hell. Want my number? lmao

RE: Why I like public service...

Rach,

Don't feel too bad. We have one officer that likes the ASP handcuffs also. Since she has multiple pairs (and we don't wear uniforms) she has been teased about having enough different colors so she can coordinate her cuffs with her outfit. We have also asked when she is going to start coordinating the cuffs with the pistol.

Hey big brother...

I must say I get a real kick when we are arresting some one and I pull out red handcuffs. I had one guy (drunk as hell) that really didn't mind being arrested because the handcuffs must of lightened the mood. He never said anything bad about me, but sure gave my partner hell, and was really sweet talking the whole time...until he got to jail and realized I wasn't going with him. He was also the guy that told us that he was going to run for the border when he got out on bond. I think he did because he never showed up to court. Now he's got a warrant.

What I really would like to see is some male officer pull out red handcuffs when arresting someone and maybe be a little chipper while doing so. Just for the reaction....

Common Steve...you can borrow mine...wud-iya say? :-) Cowboy boots, Stetson hat, tan, and aviator sunglassess on type po-lice officer with - red handcuffs...LOL! Make sure you apply chapstick for show too (har har har).

Now for your girl on your team - she's got to get the coordinating pen along with the pistol and handcuffs. You know, the pens with the fuzzy colored feather on the top? Nail polish and lipstick to match. There's nothing wrong with being stylish and doing your job...lol. Besides, the more unlike the movies we are the more people behave while in custody not knowing what to expect (psychological advantage).

thanks for playing....

Yea, that's the number - lol! U so funny! But uh...I don't play that side of the fence really so....we can do coffee and talk to each other. It's better to have some one to talk to instead of talking to yourself. You know what they say about people talking to themselves

blessed be girl & stay safe out there

talking to yourself...

GeboGirl3x3,

There is nothing wrong with talking to yourself. I've been caught on many occasions. All you do is look up and make a sudden twitch and ask "Can I help you"? I still can't quite understand it, but usually the answer from the other person is...."no". :-) LMAO.

The idea is to keep people guessing about you, and have loads of fun with it ;-)

By the way...I wasn't the one that initiated asking for your number. I understand your not a gay whore looking for love on the forum here, and you have every right to be whatever you want, but don't make me sound like the instigator. I've got a husband to answer to. But yeah, coffee sounds wonderful. What agency, time, and day?

Trust me. I have a personality and intelligence that'll make your sides split. We'll have a good time. Promise.

LOL, We need to get Wolfva and Steven in on this too. Teach them how to twitch..LOL.
