1 day 1 radio call

Yesterday was one of the craziest days at work. It consisted of one radio call and one hell of a long day.

1000-1020-Roll Call
1020-1030-Load and Inspect Shop and log on.
1030-ADW Shots Fired Man down radio call...we back the unit (basically we are secondary unit on call)
1033-Arrive at scene
1033-Witness man shot 3 times, one to the chest, one to the stomach and one to the groin
1038-Vict loaded onto RA (ambulance), grabbed his ID for 3 secs to find out who he is
Fire Capt tells us he isn't going to make it. He later dies upon arrival.
1038-1115-Set up crime scene tape, get crime scene log going, canvas area.
1115-1130-Run to restroom
1130-arrive back at scene and told to follow up to where possible suspect is.
1135-Arrive at next location, set up perimeter
1145-assist UPR (Urban Police Rifle) officer with getting into position
1150-1500-Sat on roof, baking my ass off in full uniform waiting for SWAT
1500-SWAT arrives and we have to head to command post to debrief SWAT Sgt on what we observed.
1515-Arrive at command post debrief then finally get water
1530-Arrive back with our partners
1531-told to report back to command post
1545-arrive back at command post, supervisor looks at me and realizes I am dehydrated
1545-1700-wait for someone from the station to pick me up
1700-picked up and taken to station, finally eat my lunch I brought that was at the station.
1700-2030-work the front desk and answer about 50 phone calls about the helicopters and why people aren't allowed back inside their home.
2030-head home
2130-Suspect found in a garage to the rear of the house four doors to the right of the target location (all it took was tear gas and canine's up his ass)

This is were we were looking at the target location. If you look over his shoulder you can see the house his parents lived at. Somehow he was able to hop the fences and get to a house that is to the right of us. Thankfully if he came out we would have seen him from where we were:


So after all that the murder suspect was arrested. All thanks to my divisions team work!
