"I voluntarily took 60 days off from OT"
Hey, us "old timers" use our heads!!!......I recall a year or so ago I had a reserve officer riding with me....We were dispatched to a disturbance outside a local bar....there were about 6 young males involved in the fracas...I ran all the parties thru the CCIC/NCIC computer for wants and warrants....The dispatcher (my wife BTW) is trained to say "are you clear for traffic 10-99 times 1" if one of the subjects is wanted....When she said that I walked over to one fellow and handcuffed him before he really knew what was going on.....The reserve officer looked at me with a puzzled look on his face, as I hadnt even yet learned which of the six had the warrant.....I then tell dispatch to go ahead with her traffic....That's when she airs the warrant info (a felony no-bond warrant BTW) and it was on the subject that I had handcuffed...I loaded the badguy in my car, and finished the contact with the other five.....The reserve officer asked "How in the hell did you know he was the one with the warrant?"....I replied..."I really didnt, I had a gut feeling it was him, but mainly I just knew he was the only would I would have a hard time catching if he decided to run when he heard dispatch air the warrant"...
We have since gone to earpieces which dont allow anyone within earshot to hear our radio traffic..

Now I would have went a different route. I would have handcuffed the biggest one there, telling him that he was not under arrest and that I was doing this so he didn't accidentally get shot if something happened. The reason I pick the biggest guy is because he is usually the one I don't want to have to fight!
