Just a heads-up from within the CPD SWAT unit. If the precinct asks, I didn't share this, but we have to look out for each other here.
We've been told to step up arrest support training and be prepared to set up surveillance on certain high traffic locations-- the university, Harvelle's Roadhouse, Eden, and the Serpent's Den. These incidents aren't going unnoticed, but the
focus of the training is weird. There's been emphasis on "safe removal of suspects from the area" and "non-lethal neutralization of alleged victims."
I'm too new at the moment to have leverage to form my own team. For future reference, I'd welcome any of you with certain special training and equipment who haven't had much official support in using it. We tend to have a different approach than the uniformed crowd, after all. It'd be nice to get paid for what we already do, and have the added resources of the police backing us. So, want a job where you're paid for the daily training and exercise you should do anyway? Let me know. When I'm past the stage of "judo throw your superior to remind him that you know what you're doing", I might be able to hire you on.
Time to put these boys through their laps. Of the city. "Little lady", oh really, am I? Wave if you see me running with some big burly crying babies!
