    sergeant grey is the watch commander, he rarely leaves the station that's probably why he doesn't have a body camera, i remember clearly that everytime he actually gets dispatched somewhere he does have a body camera on. (also could be an error from the director in this episode)

      @@OnlyCopsI think there are a few scenes where they go to get the gear and all the body cams are on wall chargers. I think they only put them on as the go out. If you go back and look the guy right behind him has the mount but also no body cam( 3:11). I'd imagine it's due to every inch of the place already having security cameras inside?

      He doesn't always get dispatched out. There are lower level supervisors for that. Notice that he has 3 stripes up and one stripe down whereas Tim only had 3 up when he was promoted from corporal to sgt.Sgt.
      In larger departments, the watch commander's job is to be the senior NCO to the commander of the station. That means disciplining minor, non termination offenses, approving reports, and otherwise taking care of your people.

    I was in the process of moving cross country. I had just got to my new city after driving almost twelve hours. It was 10pm, raining, and my phone battery had died. I was trying to get to my friend's house so I pulled into a gas station for directions. When I pulled out I had forgotten the road had split into north and southbound lanes and went the wrong way. I quickly realized my mistake and turned around but a Deputy saw me and pulled me over. My car was full of boxes and my two pugs were barking at the cop. He got me out of the car so that we could talk without being barked over. He said he saw my Arizona tags and figured I wasn't from the area. He just wanted confirmation that I wasn't drunk. He pulled out his phone and asked me for the address to my friend's house and wrote down directions. Super cool Deputy.

    I had a Sgt patrolman once say that in his community there is a restaurant who is more than happy to give a police officer of that jurisdiction a meal ticket. That being said it was "suggested" that you leave a tip the value of your meal, plus 10% .Then the restaurant can decide if it is to pay for the meal or it goes to the server.

    I find Sgt Grey was being a tad hypocritical with the "officer entitlement" bit. Cause earlier that same episode. Nolan, Chen and West (the rookies) were out enjoying a night out. When they spot Sgt Grey off duty having dinner with his wife. Grey spots them, walks up to them and bascially tells them "i am enjoying my date right now and do not want to think about the job tonight, so leave." Which the rookies do. Until Nolan gets involved with a situation which leads to an escalation and an arrest performed right in front of the table Grey and his wife were sitting at. Nolan being the one to stand at the podium was a bit of a punishment for that.
    I find it hypocritical that Grey brings up officer entitlement when he himself more or less used his higher rank as an officer to make them leave just because he didn't want to see them when he was off duty.

    Josh mentioned that kid and he gave him a chance, I am sorry but I still think that was the right call in that situation.
    It is one of those you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make the horse drink, if he had done a murder one later afterwards, who is to say he hadn't done 2 of them or even shoot a cop once he had been criminal hardened coming out of detention?
    Sometimes the upbringing puts people on the wrong track, and they haven't just been dropped there, it has been a slight drift to that point over time.
    Only ones that can bring him back is the right network, friends and family and he may have had neither, but you gave him a chance at it, he chose to not take it.
    But the information you had in that moment, the information you had to act on could have both lead to the exact same outcome regardless is what I am getting at, hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20 and is... useless for that situation that has happened.

He explained: "A lot of people are finding a voice, and I found that for myself, where I was like, 'Oh wow, I've been complacent.' I woke up one morning and I was watching the news, and I was like, 'I can't do this. I can't go play a cop on a show and not talk about the fact that I'm a Black cop.' My character hadn't addressed any of that."

Part of Nolan's drive to double down and to be the best is to prove himself to Gray. Hope you guys try the show!

      It is definitely a very cool gesture and for military personnel there is no conflict of interest because they don't choose how the law is being applied. The officer can't stop you from paying for their food, but like we said in the video, in this day and age officers have to worry about the perception of bias and accepting gifts is looked down upon and often prohibited by general orders.

    This watch commander tends to get on my nerves, In fact the chief as well before she got written off the show. Their lectures felt like a bunch of "virtue signaling" and their lectures were often super unrealistic like they see their officers as robots, granted officer's should be held to a higher standard and be rid of any temptations that could cause problems, but they often play off this idea that little things will lead you into bigger issues when it could be the simplest thing when its really a case by case scenario, "Officer Jake accepted free coffee at a gas station, now he's going to be prone to asking for more things on his next visit and possibly be more prone to bribery" which is bullshit because what it doesn't take into account is the officer's character, What does Officer Jake normally do in his day to day life and work life.

    So question, gratuity comes up quite a bit. Would you classify a store that sells watches, rings, and other expensive things that has a 15 percent discount for ANY first responder including Police, Fire, Medical, and even dispatchers (and even yes military) with proof (no other requirement such as living in-state) as a form of graduity? Noting this discount only applies to watches and other things deemed useful for the job that may not otherwise be provided or paid for in any way by a department. I am curious. Edit: NOTE: It is not free (like most restaurants) also you never said it, what is your thought on a citizen paying for a meal in a restaurant or fast food restaurant (a trusted one). I could give more detail but am going to keep this open.

    • @OnlyCops
      @OnlyCops  Před 6 měsíci

      I would definitely see "qualified professionals" discounts as a type of gratuity, given that it's only applied due to status. The only slight difference I see is it's almost never a free thing and often the brands that offer them just want to see "qualified professionals" using their products because that association is damn near free advertising.
      "Influencers" get actually free products for the same reasons. This also happens in other professions like construction, education, and medical fields.
      I'm neither here nor there on the practice, but I do think it could definitely be abused in certain contexts.

I will NEVER do another Police Escort *unless cross traffic blocked*. People are idiots. They pull over, squad passes. Some try to pull in like they intend to draft the squad car.

      Most of the time there are cameras everywhere in a station so it wouldn't be necessary. But the general rule of thumb is if you're on duty as a sworn officer you should have a bodycam on since you could be called at any moment to do LEO duties like responding to a 911 call or other emergency. It shows a lot about an agencies culture if all sworn personnel aren't prepared to do more than sit at a desk.
