What all did you carry on your bat belt?

Asked by Danica about 6 years ago

Depends. When I was a C/O I carried a radio (usually) and alarm (usually), handcuffs, glove pouch, and a baton of one sort of other. Also normally a double key pouch (usually a semi-auto magazine holder) for holding keys. When I was a Sgt. and Lt. the radio became normal, the alarm less so (the alarms are area specific and supervisors usually moved around more). Often the baton went away too, depending on what assignment I was on. When I was the patrol sgt. on very rare occasions I carried a .38 revolver.

Hello now I have a question what is the difference between IA and HR?

Asked by Sadie over 6 years ago

I am GUESSING that IA is internal affairs and HR is human resources. Internal Affairs specifically investigates wrong doing, including possible criminal activity, by department personnel, usually peace officers. Human resources is responsible for personnel management. This includes hiring, firing, tracking promotions and investigating some sorts of internal complains, like sexual harassment. This of course varies tremendously from agency to agency.

Do you think Jeffery Epstein killed himself?

Asked by Karmen over 6 years ago

i think it is more likely that he killed himself than all of the pieces fell together to allow somebody to kill him. remember, graveyard shift staff do NOT have keys so a LOT more people would have to be involved in a conspiracy to let somebody get into his cell.
