A month into the Academy and I have confirmed that I really enjoy writing police reports. This comes as no surprise to myself. Many of the law enforcement officers I’ve talked to over the past months about the job have tried to warn me about the “boring” parts of the job, to include report writing. To me, report writing is energizing.
I was saved by providential circumstances today, when once again I left my uniform belt at home. Upon realizing this, my first inclination was to just not wear it in the hope that nobody would notice. I then chastised myself mentally; you need your belt, I said. It’s part of the uniform. So suck it up and go get it. What saved me was that PT got out early, allowing me to get the belt and be back in class with more than enough time left over. And guess what? Surprise inspection after class.
