What was you first arrest like/How did it feel???

[donjuan856570]

Thought I'd start a new thread. I'm curious how it felt for the guys on the road here in Florida (or anywhere for that matter) making that first arrest, and what it was like. Stories would be great... I know everyone's trying to get on out there (especially including myself) but all the PD/Sheriff office hiring questions get boring for reading after a while...LOL. Hope something interesting comes out of this thread

It was scary. My first civilian arrest was a DUI on Orange Ave. Had to wait to get an OCSO car to back me.

One of our plainclothes guys called in a suspicious person near the pond who looked like he was throwing stuff at an alligator. He requested a marked unit. My FTO and I responded, made contact and of course he had no ID. Ended up giving us his real name after some prodding and it was discovered he had a warrant. Confirmed the warrant with county, made the arrest and the transport. He was a nice guy, just a little shady.

Not very exciting.

My first arrest was a shoplifting call where the guy though I wouldn't be able to catch him if he ran parallel to the store out in the parking lot. That was day 2 of FTO, and luckily I was still in a CVPI so I just floored it over the medians, then me and my FTO jumped out on him once we reached where we couldn't drive anymore. My first thought was, "Holy crap I actually handcuffed him correctly" then "Holy crap my Lt almost ran me over when I jumped out of the car", then "This really is going to be an exciting job." Well, to this day that's still in the top 5 of the most adrenaline dump experiences I have had on the job.

...what happened when the police got there?

I arrested a 50 year old woman for battery in the middle of the ghetto. She was the first to pull the race card on me since I've been working in Florida.

My first one was a DUI arrest who ran from me. It was a simple traffic stop where he told me to go F--- myself and then sped off. I was young and was on my own for only a couple weeks. We ended up getting him stopped and that was the first guy that I ever put hand cuffs on. This was sometime in 1996.

I locked a guy up in Queens for Aggravated Unlicensed Operation, searched him and found marijuana in his sock. I was THRILLED. My FTO laughed at me.

First arrest, or first arrest as a solo officer out of FTO? First arrest I don't actually remember. First arrest solo was on I-4 under Maitland Blvd. Suspended license, failure to complete DUI training. I remember thinking WOW I can't believe I have the power (authority) to do this. Then I got screamed at by my Sgt because apparently they couldn't find me as I wasn't to specific when I called the 10-50 in, and they were calling me but I wasn't answering the radio. Whoops

[Double123]

First arrest solo, don't remember.

First arrest on FTO: Sleeping on park bench.
