Memorize the local laws before you try, and if you break Sgt. Davis, the unarmed combat instructor, you will be stuck teaching his classes until he heals. Neither Natasha or I are willing to fill in on a regular basis, so we let the punishment fit the crime. Let me know when you are finished with the paperwork and have passed the testing, and I will request you for night shift. I still have some openings to fill. You may end up occasionally loaned to day shift or other Departments, but we all do that."
