Today's entry is a bit late, since my last call of the night showed up right at the end of the shift and kept us late...
One of the hardest things to teach new officers is to look around at the little stuff on calls - getting past just the weapons, people and all that, but seeing the stuff people leave lying right in plain sight.
This was a perfect example - a simple domestic incident, which could have been 5 minutes in and out. Instead, having seen the obvious crack pipe & tools sitting on the kitchen table, we end up doing a search warrant on the whole place. Two people with drug charges later, CPS called because they're using and selling right around the poor six month old kid, and some good info for our narcotics guys.
All from a little bit of extra work and time.
