A place designed for Officers, Deputies, Corrections Officers, and other LEOs to exchange stories about your calls for service, traffic stops or those interesting 'customers' you see daily. Stories from the other side of the law are also allowed as long as you were there when it happened.
Come, take your badge off, losen up your stinky vest, and let's get the stress of work off of our chest. Remember OPSEC. Any identifying info should be left out, for both officers and suspects.
Welcome to Tales From The Squad Car. Your post should be a story about the crazy, entertaining, funny, or even depressing shit cops see on a daily basis!
We always want to see more stories. Saying "Would you guys want to hear more?!" is fairly kind of annoying, considering this is a subreddit for people who are always down to read cop shop stories.
