North America’s toughest police: starting with the Los Angeles Patrol

At 8:45 a.m., Locke drove his Ford F150 Raptor to 4861 Venice Avenue, which is the Wilshire Area (#7) of the West Division of the Los Angeles Police Department, where he works.

The blue part is the LAPD’s duty area

The four major LAPD divisions

With master-level driving skills, he usually takes 30 minutes to drive, but today he only took 22 minutes, and the driving experience was wonderful.

However, he also found that this car, which had been driven for 3 years, had many problems, such as insufficient power, weak shock absorption feedback of the right rear wheel, noise in the exhaust, and the brake pads needed to be replaced, and there were more other minor problems.

This black F150 Raptor was bought by Locke with a college scholarship. Well, he collected 5,000 USD, and his parents sponsored the rest.

“Bang”

Locke parked the car in an empty space smoothly. Now driving is simply a kind of enjoyment for him.

He looked up at the blue sky and smiled knowingly. It felt so good to stand in the sun.

“Rookie, welcome back…”

“Hi, man, welcome back…”

“Wow, look who this handsome guy is?”

“Locke, well done!!!”

“…”

As soon as Locke walked into the Wilshire Division Hall, he was welcomed like a star, and even applauded. He is indeed a star in the Wilshire Division.

In addition to his outstanding appearance and figure, his academic qualifications, UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) is still very eye-catching in the eyes of ordinary police officers.

In addition, his family background, his parents graduated from Ivy League schools, and both are executives of well-known companies, and they are definitely rich class, which means that he has deep connections behind him, and it is impossible not to pay attention to him.

However, many people are waiting to see his jokes, betting on how long this playboy will stay in the police station before being fired.

This time, he shot and killed two drug dealers, which made him more famous and made his colleagues more accepting of him.

Locke first went to the equipment department to collect his uniform and equipment, and was forced to take administrative leave. Police officers need to return all police equipment, because if they fail to pass the internal review, they will be prosecuted, and naturally they cannot let him carry a gun.

Locke’s sidearm is a police Glock 17. After getting the pistol, he played with the quick disassembly and quick assembly in front of the equipment manager, which directly scared the other party.

The gun feeling has improved a lot. Now he feels that every shot he fired is sure.

When Locke changed his uniform, put on his equipment and walked into the patrol duty room, the sensation caused was even greater, and he received even warmer applause.

“Bro, welcome back to the team…”

“Locke, I didn’t expect your shooting skills to be so good…”

“Rookie, good job!”

“I have to have a few drinks today, welcome back to the team…”

“Locke, I thought you wouldn’t come back!”

“…”

After dealing with a group of colleagues who were also trainee patrolmen, Locke walked straight to a middle-aged white policeman in his forties. This was his trainee instructor, third-level police officer David Murphy.

After the hug, Locke smiled and said, “David, you feel insecure without me these days!”

David looked at Locke’s uniform, smiled with relief, shrugged and said, “Of course, without you, the most powerful man in Wilshire, I dare not go out on patrol!”

Locke smiled arrogantly, “What are you waiting for? I can’t wait to protect Los Angeles!”

David patted Locke’s shoulder, “Have you forgotten the procedure? Go to Captain Jones to report first, you should be able to hear some good news…”

He squeezed Locke’s shoulder hard again, “I’m glad you can recover. You didn’t do anything wrong. Do you remember what I said?”

Locke’s expression was serious, “Of course, I would rather be judged by twelve people than be carried by six people!”

David nodded and smiled, “good, keep doing this next time…”

In the office, Richard Jones, the duty commander, looked at Locke standing upright in front of him with a serious face. There was a Citroen logo on his collar and the rank of second-level superintendent.

He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, this kid can be molded into a star policeman in the Los Angeles Police Department.

LAPD Second Class Superintendent Rank

He actually didn’t like Locke, a troublemaker with a deep background, to join the Wilshire Division, because he felt that Locke was a time bomb, with too many uncontrollable factors.

And he felt that Locke’s joining the police force was just a temporary interest of a rich young man, and he wouldn’t stay for long.

However, after observing for a few months, combined with David Murphy’s feedback, although Locke’s personality was eccentric, he didn’tAny bad habits. Captain Jones first informed Locke of the investigation results of the previous shooting. After the investigation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Locke’s last operation was in full compliance with the rules and regulations of the Los Angeles Police Department, so Locke can return to the team immediately. After listening, Locke replied loudly: “Thank you, sir!” Captain Jones smiled and said: “In view of your heroic performance this time and the professional judgment of your internship instructor David Murphy, after the approval of the branch committee, we will end your probation in advance.” “First-level police officer Locke Lee, I now officially inform you that you have passed your internship. From now on, you will be promoted to a second-level police officer. The Los Angeles Police Department will sign a new contract with you later…” Locke was surprised, knowing that this should be the good news David said, and replied loudly again: “Thank you very much, sir!” This is indeed good news, which can end the rookie career in advance. In the Los Angeles Police Department, only after passing the internship period and being promoted to a second-level police officer can it be considered a real LAPD. Although first-level and second-level police officers will not be assigned police ranks, there is no difference, but after officially joining the job, the treatment will be greatly improved. The treatment of Los Angeles police officers is among the best in the United States. There is a salary during the 12-week training period, with a monthly salary of 5,900 USD during the training period and 6,200 USD during the internship period.

After formal employment, the salary will be 6,500 USD, and there will be a housing allowance of 24,000 USD per year, and all the benefits of formal police officers will take effect.

And Locke has a bachelor’s degree, so his salary will be 15,000 USD more per year.

Including overtime allowances, etc., at least 100,000 USD a year, a solid upper-middle-class income.

Well, of course, this is before tax.

Captain Jones extended his hand to Locke and smiled: “Locke, congratulations, welcome to join the LAPD!”

He added: “The two drug dealers you shot last time were members of a new drug trafficking organization in Mexico stationed in Los Angeles. The case has been taken over by the DEA. Based on the information of the two drug dealers, the DEA has taken down their den in one fell swoop. When the case is officially concluded, the DEA should have a reward for you…”

I didn’t expect there would be unexpected wealth!

Afterwards, Captain Jones called the internal line, and an administrative staff immediately delivered a new contract.

Because they were all standard contracts, Locke did not consult Marian’s opinion. He glanced at them casually and signed his name.

After signing the contract, Captain Jones led Locke to the duty room and informed everyone that Locke had ended his internship early and officially joined the company.

Immediately, warm applause rang out again in the duty room, and congratulations came one after another.

While the other trainee patrol officers applauded, they looked at Locke with envy and jealousy.

We agreed to work together, but you actually got ashore early!

Locke couldn’t stand this look, and immediately agreed to pay for the bar in the evening. The applause and cheers instantly became more enthusiastic.

…

In the patrol car, Locke drove the patrol car out of the Wilshire subdivision, “David, thank you…”

David fastened his seat belt and smiled, “This is what you deserve, your performance is worth it…”

For Los Angeles police, the internship period is 18 months. In most cases, the internship period will end early. Locke passed the internship in only 6 months, which is definitely a leader.

After entering the main road, Locke picked up the microphone skillfully and reported: “7Adam15, start patrol…”

The radio immediately responded with a clear and pleasant female voice, “Copy…”

Locke was about to hang up the microphone when another voice came from the radio, “Welcome back, Locke…”

Locke turned his head and smiled at David, and replied with a magnetic voice: “Thank you, Emma!”

“Fuck you, Locke, I’m Emily…”
