We are allowed to ride with the permission of the shift supervisor of patrol

if we are off duty. If we are on

duty and have the chance it has to be approved by the comm supervisor on

duty and a patrol supervisor.

On duty time is limited to four hours and we are normally required to ride

with a fto or supervisor.

We had two officers on an extradition trip to Dayton Ohio, one of whom was

origionally from there.

They had parked by a big chicken sign and were inside. It was a bar. A

Dayton unit seeing our

unit there ran the tag, our dpt received a tty wanting to know if we had

had a unit stolen. Our

guys never did live that one down. One of them is a major now. He is also

the guy who didn't realize

his wife had got out of their van while on vacation and left her at a rest

stop in Alabama.

We now dispatch police, fire and animal control. We answer 911 and 9

administrative lines. They also have us handling all city problems such as

sewer and water problems. Do any other agencies handle these same things?

Lanita,

We dispatch for police, fire/ems, sheriffs office and animal control, as

well as monitor state band, highway channel and public works. We have 911

lines plus 10 admin lines that we answer. We do not do sewer and water

problems .
