Day shift #1
The shift revolved around a single call. In the morning I was dispatched to a report of an aggressive panhandler outside of a business. As I got out to speak with him, he became very nervous. Much to the bystanders surprise, my approach with him went from calm and professional to hands on and very direct in a split second.

The day shift was primarily a routine paperwork & catch up day. I did attend a couple routine calls and bylaw complaints. The Municipality of Delta’s Bylaws can be found by clicking here. The two main Bylaw complaints that tie up Police resources are residential noise (house parties and barking dogs) and construction noise (outside of permissible hours).

Our recruit rode with me for the day, we took some routine calls and I let her deal with all of the complainants and subjects. She’s almost ready to head back to the Academy for her Block III training phase.
“The boot” – An affectionate term used to refer to a recruit or a rookie. The term has roots in the military and policing, as the recruit is expected to maintain a pristine uniform including well polished and shined uniform boots.
