If I ever see flashing lights I usually pull over a little bit behind so I am not creeping up on the officer and distracting him(because he won't know who I am) just to make sure **** doesn't hit the fan. Is there any better way to assist? Or do you guys just stay out of the way like I do unless absolutely needed?

Neither a Republican nor Democrat, both parties are hopelessly flawed.
RIP to all my fallen brothers and sisters in blue I hope one day I can live up to your legacies because you live forever in my mind.
To anyone non-LEO don't get it twisted. Us officers may disagree on politics, sports, and any other issue but we will always be brothers and sisters at the end of the day and have each others back. To think otherwise is stupid. -
This. If you're getting your *** handed to you on the side of the road I'll stop. If it looks like things are just about to go south, I'll stop. I'm not stopping just cuz.Originally posted by MeBPD View PostI miss you, Dave.

Unless the Officer is getting pummled then keep driving, don't even do a major slow down if everything looks ok, otherwise you are a distraction and will just divert attention from the actual threat.Comment

Off duty is off duty....unless life or death!
I had some good natured citizens that saw a bunch of people bail out from a car from me....while in foot pursuit, the guy drives his truck down the embankment right towards me....so now I had to stop and worry if it was an ambush, and all it was was them telling me they saw the whole thing....THANKS! meanwhile the bad guy had a huge lead on me by then he was never caught!
Life or death...otherwise I'm gonna keep driving to go get my happy meal!"When I close my eyes.....I'll see you on the other side....!!!"
Hate to put it this way skippy, buy every night I suit up and climb in the cruiser I'm at war. I'm always outnumbered, potentially out gunned and always behind enemy lines.Comment

Agreed with the pummeling. And some car creeping up on me (even at a distance) is just distracting and is dividing my attention.Comment

Not if they're doing a traffic stop unless I see a problem. Your POV is distracting to them. I have seen a conflict in a shopping center in my own jurisdiction while off duty and stood back to watch. When the suspect resisted, i jumped in because they were MY guys in the fight and they obviously know who I am.sigpic
I don't agree with your opinion, but I respect its straightforwardness in terms of wrongness.Comment

Assist, hell no, I stop and take charge!!!!!!! I crack some skulls, tell the original officer to type the report, then get back in my Kia and drive off. That is how its done.Comment

It was that or Daewoo.......If I put Ford or Chevy in there, everybody would of known I was telling a lie, as I probably would of been broken down at the scene.Originally posted by mitojo View PostComment

I'll take a look and make sure the officer isn't getting jumped. Other than that, keep driving. I've pulled over to assist another officer once in 25 years.Comment
