Another one of these what would you do threads.
My part of town is staffed by 5 of us usually. We have one officer on my side of town who is a professional work dodger. (Oh and an FTO.. ironic). Two examples:
On this day, he came into work late. I was given a call of a runaway cancel, in his area. (report has to be made). 1 minute later, another officer gets a motorist assist call (covering for another guys area). Officer Lazy gets on the radio, and disregards the guy going to the assist call, and bags me with his runaway report, ignoring the fact that we typically teach the practice of not bagging, esp. when its your call in the first place.
Okay, I can deal with that. The other beef later that day was when he was ent to an apt for a standby while the compl. removed some of her things. He radios to "send another car to the entrance st and (name) street for an accident- car vs. motorcycle".
We were all tied up on that side so someone from another part of town had to run lights/sirens to an injury accident. He stays ON his standby call, and then radios he is transporting the female several blocks away. Again, bagging the other officer with one of his calls (I got stuck with 5 reports that day, including two of his area). My beef here is that it seems an injury accident should be more important than some clothes grabbing.
Our supervisors are oblivious to this sort of thing, so we are mostly left to gripe to ourselves. So should I say something to him about it? I dont like to bitch about stuff like this because I believe stuff usually equals out, but this was plain deliberate and negligent, in my book.
Say something to him or just stfu? Whats the call?
