SPECTRE'S ask a retired cop anything

[Bricktop]

They LOVED it.



This one time, we stopped a drop dead gorgeous blond, and she was as drunk as noodle soup; As I stood by the drivers window, looking down her blouse, I thought I'd take a chance.



I unzipped my trousers and released the jolly roger.



She looked at it and said "Oh, nooo...this is the third breathalyser test in the last 10 miles..."

Did you deliver babies?

Did you deliver babies?

No. They have storks for that.

[keeper]

Do police officers really call their thing in the trousers a "jolly roger"?

[Bricktop]

No.



A baton.

[Frood]

Did you deliver babies?

No. They have storks for that.

Did you ever cite a stork for illegal roof parking and if so, what was the fine?

[Bricktop]

I tried.



But then I realised it wasn't a stork.



It was a crane.

[RW]

Have you ever misread stork as stroke then went and did it?



No, that wasn't a serious question.



These are though...



What is standard issue gear for a police uniform including what you carry on your belt?



Have you ever had a bullet proof vest or other police gear save your life?



Did you have a partner?  If yes, was it generally the same one?



Were there women in the force back then?

Crane. Stork. Geddit? Geddit?



Sigh...why do I bother...



No, that wasn't a serious question.

Now, I don't know. They seem to have a hardware store around their girth. Then, pistol, cuffs and baton. Sometimes a torch.

No.

Several.

Yes.

[RW]

I got it :P

How many times a year were you required to qualify with your sidearm?



Did you ever fail to qualify?



Can police officers in Oz carry their own (dept. approved) duty weapon or are they required to carry the official issued sidearm?

[Frood]

Spectre, were you ever refused service at a restaurant or point of consumer sales because the owner did not want to serve government employees (for whatever personal reasons)?

I was in the SWAT crew...we trained every week. There was no annual qualification process.



Can only carry Department issued firearm, and it is returned at end of shift (except in certain areas, such as undercover operators).
