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

“Morning, Locke…”

“Morning…”

“…”

The next day, Locke came to the police station early. He did not go to Anna Davis, but to his supervisor, Richard Jones, the duty commander of the patrol division.

In the disciplined forces, it is taboo to report to higher levels, unless the matter you report is related to your supervisor.

In addition, the police force is also very disgusted with putting relationships in the open, because the superiors do not want others to think that he is partial, and the subordinates do not want others to think that his success is due to relationships.

Even if the truth is so, we must try our best to avoid giving people this impression.

“Dong…Dong…”

Captain Jones was arranging today’s patrol route. He looked up at the door and said to Locke, “Come in, what’s up? Locke!”

Locke walked into the room and said directly: “Captain, I have something to report to you…”

He told the two times he found that people from the detective department were monitoring him.

Captain Jones’s expression became serious as Locke reported. He asked, “Do you have video evidence?” Locke shook his head and replied, “No, Sir, in order to avoid affecting the reputation of LAPD, I did not do anything extra, but if colleagues from the Information Data Division go to collect evidence, they should be able to recover those videos…” He actually thought about hacking into the server of the monitoring room in the opposite building last night to take those videos for backup, but when he thought that illegally obtained videos could not be used as evidence, he gave up. Moreover, his computer skills were only L2, and he was not sure that he could leave no traces. More importantly, these videos could not do anything to Tom Williams. “Good…” Captain Jones stood up directly, “Come with me to Captain Davis to report this matter…” In Anna Davis’ office, Locke reported the matter again. Anna was very surprised after hearing this, and she said to Locke, “Wait outside for a while, I’ll make a phone call…” Locke went out and closed the door of the office tactfully. After a while, Captain Jones opened the door and asked him to come in, but he did not stay here any longer. When he left, he congratulated Locke, which made him confused.

Anna Davis looked at Locke with a smile on her face, “It’s clear. Tom Williams, the captain of the first team of the Robbery and Murder Division of the Detective Bureau, applied to transfer you to their team as a detective. The police rank remains unchanged, and you are still a second-level police officer. The detective will start the follow-up supplementary examination. The Detective Bureau will send a transfer order to apply for it later. They explained that these two surveillance actions were Tom Williams’s assessment of you…”

“…”

Locke was stunned. If it weren’t for Anna Davis, he would have cursed out fucking directly.

Peeping with a telescope is called observation, which is a complete perverted behavior.

He said seriously: “Captain, can I refuse?”

Anna Davis was stunned and said: “Are you sure? Didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted to go to the police department?”

Locke replied: “Yes, I still want to go to the police department, but I don’t want to work under Tom Williams…”

Anna Davis frowned and stared at Locke, advising: “Locke, you have to think clearly. Tom Williams is a detective in the police department. His style of doing things is indeed a bit unconventional, but this is a rare opportunity for you. His crime-solving rate has exceeded that of the legendary detective Henry Morgan of the Los Angeles Police Department. You join his team, which will be very helpful for your future development. I suggest you don’t act on impulse. You’d better discuss it with Marian!”

Locke replied firmly: “It is because Tom Williams is so powerful that I don’t want to join his team!”

Anna Davis asked: “Why?”

Locke said confidently: “Because I don’t want to be a shadow under the brilliance of Tom Williams, I want to surpass him!”

He has a cheat, why should he be the younger brother of this psychopath?

Anna Davis stared at Locke in a daze and said helplessly: “Do you know what the consequences of rejecting this transfer order are?”

Locke nodded and said: “I know!”

Anna Davis shrugged and said: “In terms of stubbornness, you are exactly the same as Marian! Okay, I respect your decision, but you must know that if you reject the transfer order from the Detective Bureau, even if you pass the detective exam, the difficulty of applying to the Detective Bureau will double…”

Locke said confidently: “As long as I am good enough, the Detective Bureau should not reject me!”

Anna Davis looked like she didn’t want to talk to him, “Okay, you can go out to work.”

Locke knew that Anna Davis was doing this for his own good. Before leaving, he said gratefully: “Thank you, Anna!”

Anna Davis said coldly: “Please call me captain!”

Locke looked embarrassed and said seriously: “Thank you, Captain!”

…

“7Adam15, start patrol…”

“copy…”

Locke put down the walkie-talkie, frowned, and couldn’t stand this Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor [Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, CVPI] anymore.

After the car driving was upgraded to L4, all the problems of this car were clearly reflected in his mind.

Although the engine of this car is a 4.6-liter V8 engine with 254 horsepower, the vehicle’s braking and suspension systems have also been specially strengthened, but he is too old.

It feels like driving an old horse.

LAPD Crown Victoria CVIPI

Crown Victoria CVPI V8

“Zizi, code 2, Shiver Street, someone called the police and said they were robbed…”

“7Adam15, copy…”

Locke glanced at the specific address registered on the driving computer, lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the car turned smoothly and drove towards Shiver Street.

At this time, David, who had been silent since getting in the car, finally spoke up and asked in confusion: “Are you out of your mind? I heard that you rejected Tom Williams’s call-up? Do you know what you missed?”

Locke looked at him in surprise, “How do you know?”

David said unhappily: “Everyone in Wilshire already knows it, and it won’t be long before the entire Los Angeles Police Department will know it! Do you know how many LAPD idols Tom Williams is? He is the new generation of detectives in the Los Angeles Police Department, and you actually rejected him!”

He turned his head and stared at Locke, “This time you are famous. Yesterday you rejected the FBI, and today you rejected Tom Williams!”

Locke looked indifferent and shrugged: “I’m famous anyway!”

“You are indeed famous, famous for promiscuity, and you are the only one in the entire LAPD! ”

David looked disdainful and asked again: “What’s going on?”

Locke told David about Tom Williams’s two surveillances on him, and sneered: “I’m afraid no one would have thought that the Los Angeles detective admired by everyone is a voyeuristic pervert. If it were you, would you be willing to work with a psychopath?”

He really didn’t want to work with Tom Williams, because he had secrets, and Tom Williams had a pair of eyes that could see through people’s hearts, which made him very afraid.

If I guessed correctly, this guy should be like Henry Morgan, and have unique features in micro-expression analysis or psychological profiling.

David was stunned for a moment and said: “This may be the quirk of a genius!”

Locke snorted coldly, “He is also lucky. I didn’t take HK416 back last night, otherwise, the Los Angeles Police Department would have issued an obituary for this detective today!”
