I AM CONFIDENT THAT I AM GOING TO SUCCEED. MY NAME IS REBECCA WEBSTER. MOST PEOPLE CALL ME BECKY. THIS IS MY FIRST DAY ON THE JOB. I'M EXCITED AND A LITTLE NERVOUS. IT TAKES MORE TIME FOR A FEMALE TO GET HERSELF TOGETHER. WE HAVE MORE HAIR. OUR FACE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THIS ON ITS OWN. ALSO, BEING A WOMAN, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO WORK TWICE AS HARD TO PROVE THAT I COULD DO THE SAME JOB THAT A MAN CAN DO. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, BUT I HAVE LIKE SOME ANXIETIES ABOUT IT. I JUST WANT TO DO A GOOD JOB. - I'M RAY GORMAN. I'M YOUR FTO. - REBECCA WEBSTER. - COME ON. LET'S GO GET ROLLING. - ALL RIGHT. RAY'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR LIKE 25 YEARS.

OH, YOU TOLD THEM, "I DON'T WANT TO FTO," AND THEY KEEP PUTTING YOU AS ONE. - RIGHT. - OH. I SAID IT SEVERAL TIMES. I'M AN FTO BECAUSE ... THE BOSS SAID SO. ... THE BOSS SAID SO. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT. BEING A ROOKIE, I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET. AND JUST RAY BEING BURNT OUT FROM BEING AN FTO, I JUST HOPE IT DOESN'T WORK AGAINST ME IN THE LONG RUN. DISPATCH: GTA 745, 938. SOMEONE REPORTED A, AN ABANDONED CAR IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SO WE'RE GOING TO GO CHECK IT OUT. WATCH THAT ONE BE STOLEN. THAT WHITE ONE. I BET YOU A DOLLAR. I'LL CHECK AND SEE IF IT HAS A TAG.

MY NAME IS DEPUTY JOHN WIEBELT. WATCHING COPS ON TV, IT GOT ME WORKED UP TO WANT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. JACKSON'S IN 4. WIEBELT, CARACCI IS IN 5. MCCOY, 6. JUST SOMETHING I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO. WE KNOW THAT THE PAY ISN'T THE GREATEST. WE KNOW THAT IT'S LONG HOURS. BUT IT'S JUST GOING TO BE SELF-SATISFYING TO ME TO GO OUT THERE AND BE A POLICE OFFICER. I AM CONFIDENT THAT I AM GOING TO SUCCEED. MY FTO IS FRANK CARACCI. I WAS TOLD THAT HE'S REALLY INTO PROACTIVE POLICING, SO I'M REAL EXCITED TO RIDE WITH HIM. WE'RE ACTUALLY HITTING THE STREETS AND WE'RE GOING TO GO SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE. INSTEAD OF JUST WAITING FOR IT TO BE DISPATCHED TO YOU, GOING OUT THERE AND GETTING IT, FINDING IT. DISPATCH: 172. 172. 1311 1653 WE GOT A CODE 4 NOW. THIS FELLOW HERE DID A DOUBLE TAKE, LOOKED AT US TWICE, SLOWED DOWN THEN TURNED HIS HEAD AWAY, AND DROVE OFF PRETTY QUICK. HE HAS SOME EQUIPMENT VIOLATIONS ON HIS VEHICLE, SO THAT GIVES US PROBABLE CAUSE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND SEARCH HIM. STEP OUT THE CAR FOR A MINUTE. [RADIO DISPATCH] HOW YOU DOING TODAY? COME BACK HERE. THE REASON I'M STOPPING YOU ... ... YOU DON'T HAVE A REAR-VIEW MIRROR ON YOUR VEHICLE THERE. I SEE SOME ROLLING PAPERS THERE. DO YOU HAVE ANY MARIJUANA IN THE CAR OR ANYTHING, SIR? UH-UH. YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ILLEGAL ON YOU, DO YOU? OKAY. GO AHEAD AND TAKE THAT HAT OFF FOR A MINUTE. WHEN YOU PASSED BY THE GENTLEMAN AT THAT CROSSROAD RIGHT BEFORE YOU CROSSED MY BUMPER, YOU HELP YOUR HAND UP ONE TIME. USUALLY, WHEN YOU HOLD YOUR FINGER UP THAT LIKE ONE TIME, THAT MEANS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ONE ROCK OF CRACK COCAINE OUT ON THE STREET. KEEP GIVING YOUR INFORMATION TO HIM. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE SUSPECT HAS AN OUTSTANDING ATTACHMENT FOR HIS ARREST. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU IN A COURT OF LAW. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY. FRANK HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN NARCOTICS. I'M LEARNING FROM HIM THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT PEOPLE GO ABOUT GETTING THE NARCOTICS. OPEN UP YOUR LEGS, PLEASE. DO IT NOW. THANK YOU. FROM SPOTTING SOMEONE TRYING TO SCORE NARCOTICS ALL THE WAY TO FINDING SPOTS THAT THEY ACTUALLY HIDE NARCOTICS ON THEIR PERSON. WHEN YOU'VE BEEN DOING POLICE WORK AS LONG AS I HAVE, IT'S CRITICAL TO TEACH YOUR ROOKIE OFFICERS TO SPOT THE LITTLE THINGS SO THEY BECOME A GOOD OFFICER. THE AREA WE'RE GOING TO IS A HIGH-CRIME AREA ACTUALLY KNOWN FOR ILLEGAL NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING, AS WELL AS CRIMES OF VIOLENCE, GUNS. HEY, MAN, PUT THE GUN DOWN. DO IT NOW. PUT THE GUN DOWN. EVERYBODY ON THE GROUND. SEVEN, HOLD THE AIR. GOT A SUBJECT WITH A GUN. GIVE ME ONE MORE CAR. ON THE GROUND. STEP BACK NOW. [RADIO DISPATCH] WALK BACK ON YOUR KNEES. DO IT NOW. - SIR GET ON YOUR BELLY. DO IT NOW. - ON THE GROUND. HANDS OUT TO THE SIDE. DO IT NOW, SIR, WITH THE SUNGLASSES OVER THERE. EVERYBODY KEEP YOUR HANDS WHERE YOU'RE AT. KEEP YOUR HANDS RIGHT WHERE THEY'RE AT, MAN. ROLL THIS WAY. SOME SORT OF PELLET GUN, SIR? DEFINITELY LOOKS REAL. THESE THINGS WILL DEFINITELY GET YOU HURT. HOLY CRAP. WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. WE ROUNDED THE CORNER. IT LOOKED REAL TO US. HE HAD IT TO HIS SHOULDER LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO FIRE. THESE ARE WHAT? A HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR REAL? I'M JUST GOING TO GET ONE OF THESE. >>SCOPE, FLASHLIGHT, EVERYTHING. I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO REALLY THINK ABOUT BEING SCARED. I JUST KNEW THAT I HAD TO GET THAT WEAPON OUT OF THAT PERSON'S HAND AND GET EVERYONE INTO CUSTODY. WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WAS A GUN THAT APPEARED TO BE REAL. THERE'S NO PROBLEM WITH YOU OWNING THAT GUN, BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN OUT BY THE STREET, HOLDING IT LIKE THAT. JOHN RESPONDED JUST HOW HE WAS TRAINED. HE WAS RIGHT THERE. HE WAS ISSUING STRONG VERBAL COMMANDS. ON THE GROUND. AND HE WAS READY TO FORM HANDCUFFING AND SECURING PEOPLE ONCE I RAN OUT, WITHOUT ME EVEN TELLING HIM. SO HE DID A GOOD JOB. [RADIO DISPATCH] WE JUST GOT A CALL ABOUT A DOMESTIC DISPUTE. SHE FILED STALKING CHARGES ON HIM. HE'S IN THE FRONT DOOR RIGHT NOW. I'VE NEVER DEALT WITH A DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE BEFORE, SO I'M KIND OF NERVOUS. I KNOW IN MY EXPERIENCE, DOMESTIC CALLS HAVE BEEN PROBABLY THE WORST CALLS. THINGS JUST TURN BAD ON YOU. ALL I COULD TELL BECKY IS KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN WHEN YOU GO TO A DOMESTIC. SEE, IT'S RIGHT ON THE RIGHT. >>I'M OVER ON THE WEST SIDE RIGHT NOW. I'VE JUST GOT DONE WITH THE REPORT. LET ME GET OUT. HOW YOU DOING, SIR? WHY DON'T YOU JUST STEP RIGHT HERE AND JUST RELAX. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT. YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT. YOU NEED HELP. THAT'S SOME BULLCRAP. MA'AM YOU FILED A REPORT LAST NIGHT? HE COMES THROUGH THIS WINDOW. YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF. BECAUSE THE WINDOW WAS OPEN AND YOU THINK HE MOVED IT? - NO. HE SHATTERED IT. - IT WAS SHATTERED? YEAH. HE THOUGHT HE HEARD A GENTLEMAN IN HERE WHATEVER, BECAUSE OF MY TV. WHAT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING, BECAUSE I'M KIND OF LIKE CATCHING EVERYTHING, IS THAT IN THE PAST, HE'S, SHE'S FILED A STALKING CHARGE ON THIS GUY. SO IF SHE'S IN THIS HOUSE, HE CAN'T, HE CAN'T BE OVER HERE. REBECCA, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A WRITTEN STATEMENT. YOU KNOW, "EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT." OKAY. - HOW OLD ARE YOU? - 27. RELATIONSHIP. RAY TOLD ME TO ASK THIS SPECIFIC STUFF WHEN I CAME IN HERE. SO I DIDN'T WANT TO BE RUNNING IN AND OUT, SO. BASICALLY WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK YOU IS THE RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE TO HIM, WHAT OCCURRED LAST NIGHT AND A BRIEF OPINION OR ... EXCUSE ME, A BRIEF STORE, STATE, YEAH, I CAN'T SPEAK STRAIGHT TODAY. A STATEMENT ON WHAT HAPPENED ... IN THE PAST TO MAKE YOU, YOU KNOW, FILE THESE, THESE STALKING CHARGES IN THE PAST. MY POLICE REPORT COULD DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF THIS CASE, AND THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS LET THIS WOMAN DOWN BY SCREWING UP. OKAY. SIGN RIGHT HERE SAYING THAT THIS IS YOUR STATEMENT. HAVE A SEAT. YOU GOT SOMETHING COMING TO YOU, JESS. ALL RIGHT. BECKY, YOUR, YOUR PEOPLE SKILLS ARE FINE, BUT YOU NEED TO LEARN TO DOCUMENT THINGS A LITTLE BETTER. FOR EXAMPLE, WRITING ON YOUR HAND. THAT, THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. YOU NEED TO CARRY A LITTLE NOTEPAD IN YOUR POCKET. CARRY SOMETHING TO WRITE ON. I WANT TO SEE YOU SUCCEED, BECKY, SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE EXTRA PUSH RIGHT NOW. - I'M GOING TO MAKE YOUR DAY. - OKAY. I WROTE A TEST. WHERE DID IT COME FROM? - YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. - OKAY. HIT ME. YOU HAVE A WOMAN STATING THAT HER HUSBAND IS SUICIDAL. HE'S THREATENING TO KILL HIMSELF. WHEN YOU TALK TO THE HUSBAND, HE DENIES ALL OF THAT. SHE STATES HE DID THAT? SHE STATES IT AND HE SAYS, "NO, I DIDN'T." NOW WHAT? WHAT DO YOU NEED TO TAKE HIM INTO CUSTODY FOR AN EMERGENCY COMMITTAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION? I NEED REASON TO BELIEVE, FROM SOMETHING HE DISPLAYED TO ME, I NEED REASON TO BELIEVE HE WOULD HURT HIMSELF. RIGHT. SHOPLIFTING CASE. THE GUY LEAVES THE STORE, STEALS A SHIRT. YOU CATCH HIM A MILE AWAY, BUT THE SHIRT'S MISSING. CAN YOU SEARCH THE CAR? I SAY YES. SHE SAID THAT'S THE GUY, THAT'S THE CAR. BUT WHAT JUSTIFIES THE SEARCH? THE FACT WITH THE CAR, HE CAN RUN OFF AND HIDE THE SHIRT. PROBABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THERE'S EVIDENCE OF A CRIME IN THE CAR. RIGHT? - WHICH THERE IS. - RIGHT. YOU HAVE A MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY A SUPERVISOR. WHO SHOULD YOU CALL? - THE NEXT, THE RANK ABOVE YOU. - RIGHT. - MY SERGEANT. - RIGHT. YOU'RE DOING GOOD. I'LL GIVE YOU A B+. - ARE YOU LEARNING? - YEAH, I'M LEARNING. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT RAY, BUT HE REALLY IS GOING THE EXTRA MILE TO HELP ME SUCCEED. TODAY'S JOHN'S LAST DAY RIDING WITH ME. IT'S GOING TO BE A CHANCE FOR HIM TO TAKE MORE OF A LEAD. THE GENTLEMAN WE'RE BEHIND RIGHT NOW HAS WEAVED A COUPLE TIMES, HIT THE YELLOW LINE ON THE ROADWAY. SO WHEN WE GET TO A SAFE SPOT, WE'RE GOING TO PULL HIM OVER AND JUST CHECK IT OUT MAKE SURE THEY'RE ALL RIGHT, SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. DO ME A FAVOR. PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE CAR, PLEASE. -YOU DON'T MIND IF I CHECK YOUR POCKETS? >>HUH? TO BE HONEST WITH YOU WHAT? A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE WILL GET SCARED AND COME CLEAN AND TELL THE TRUTH. OKAY. I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HONEST AND TELLING ME THAT THERE WAS MARIJUANA IN YOUR POCKET. TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF REAL QUICK, MAN. NOTHING IN YOUR SHOES? ALL RIGHT. PUT YOUR SHOES BACK ON. HE'S DOING A GOOD JOB WITH THE GUY OVER THERE. NOTHING UNDER YOUR SEAT? ANYTHING THAT YOU THREW OUT? ANYTHING? RIGHT NOW, JOHN'S DOING SOME CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECKS ON BOTH OF THEM. HE'S DOING HIS PART WHILE I TALK TO THIS OTHER FELLOW. HE DID GREAT. DID YOU KNOW YOU HAD TWO OUTSTANDING ATTACHMENTS ON YOU? DID YOU KNOW THAT? OKAY. YOU'RE UNDER ARREST. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, SIR? OKAY I FEEL THAT I'VE LEARNED A LOT WORKING WITH FRANK OVER THE COURSE OF MY TRAINING AND I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT I CAN DO NARCOTICS SEARCHES AND ARRESTS ON MY OWN. IN THE BEGINNING, JOHN WAS PRETTY QUIET. HE'S GROWN QUITE A BIT IN THE TIME THAT WE SPENT TOGETHER. FROM HERE ON OUT, HE'S GOING TO MOVE ON TO HIS EVALUATION. I HAVE NO DOUBT HE'S GOING TO PASS THAT WITH FLYING COLORS AND DO WELL IN THE DEPARTMENT. DISPATCH: ... 556. WE JUST GOT A CALL TO BACK UP AN OFFICER AT A PLACE WHERE THERE'S POSSIBLE DRUG ACTIVITY. 37TH. 36TH. THERE WE GO. PUT US ON THE SCENE. TWO-ALFA-FOUR. ON THE SCENE. - IS THIS THE RIGHT ADDRESS? - I HEAR THEM TALKING. WHOEVER'S IN THE HOUSE, YOU NEED TO COME OUT. - HELLO. PUT YOUR HANDS UP WHERE I CAN SEE THEM. WE ARRIVE ON THE SCENE AND THE DEPUTY ALREADY HAS A BUNCH OF PEOPLE DETAINED. BUT HIS GUN WAS STILL DRAWN, SO CLEARLY THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE IN THE HOUSE. - WHERE IS HE? - WHAT'S HIS NAME? COME OUT. COME OUT. THE THING IS WE DON'T KNOW. IS HE LOADING UP A GUN? IS HE GETTING READY? IS HE SNEAKING AROUND THE CORNER? WE DON'T KNOW. POLICE. COME OUT. COME OUT. GO OUTSIDE IN THE LIVING ROOM. THE GUY WASN'T ALL THERE. HE SEEMED A LITTLE SLOW. HE SAID HE WAS, I GUESS, HAD BEEN INJURED IN THE PAST. DEFINITELY WASN'T ALL THERE. I HAVE A 24 ROLL AND A 29 AT 49 VEHICLE LOCATION. ALL RIGHT. WE'VE GOT EVERYBODY IN THE HOUSE DETAINED AND THE LOCATION SECURE, SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SEARCH THESE PEOPLE. WHAT'S DOXYCYCLINE FOR? DOXYCYCLINE. THAT'S WEIRD. BACK UP. STOP. MA'AM, STAND UP. YOU CAN SIT DOWN. ALL RIGHT. SHE HAD IT RIGHT HERE, BETWEEN HER CLEAVAGE. JUST A CRACK PIPE. WHY ARE YOU KIND OF FIDGETY AND JUMPY? YOU SLEEPING RIGHT HERE OR WHERE ARE YOU STAYING? - WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT? - NOWHERE. - YOU HAVEN'T SLEPT YET? - NO. BEING OUT ON THE STREETS HAS BEEN A REAL EYE OPENING EXPERIENCE. LET ME SEE YOUR ARM. AND WHAT IS THIS RIGHT HERE? I SIGNED UP FOR THIS JOB TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT THAT THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO TO HELP PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO HELP THEMSELVES. MA'AM, PLEASE SIT DOWN AND RELAX. ALL RIGHT? WITH NO WARRANTS, WE DIDN'T FIND ANY DRUGS, SO WE JUST LEFT IT AT THAT. I THINK WE MADE OUR POINT. THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH YOU CAN DO WITH A SITUATION LIKE THAT. IT'S EASY TO FIND DRUG ADDICTS. IT'S HARD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, THOUGH. OH, WELL. REBECCA DID WELL. SHE WENT BY THE DOORWAY AND SHE WASN'T TIMID. SHE WAS PREPARED TO DO WHATEVER WE HAD TO DO AT THAT POINT. YOU DID A GOOD JOB, BECKY. - ARE YOU SAYING I'M EXCEPTIONAL? - EXCEPTIONAL. TOMORROW, BECKY RIDES WITH A NEW FTO. SO TODAY, I'M GOING TO BRING HER TO LUNCH, KIND OF CONGRATULATE HER ON A JOB WELL DONE, YOU KNOW, WISH HER THE BEST OF LUCK. - LO MEIN. LO MEIN. - YES, INDEED. THANK YOU. - HEY, 8 WEEKS. - FOUR TO GO. I COULD SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE FROM THE TIME SHE STARTED WITH ME UNTIL NOW. NO, YOU'RE DOING GOOD. SHE'S SMART, SHE CAN DO IT, AND I EXPECT HER TO DO WELL. I HOPE SHE DOES. YOU KNOW, WHAT'S A GOOD THING ABOUT BEING AN FTO IS YOU'RE FORCING ME TO LEARN AGAIN. SO TRAINING WAS GOOD FOR ME TOO. IT'S INSPIRING TO SEE SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN ON THE JOB FOR 25 YEARS AND STILL FEELS THERE'S SOMETHING TO LEARN. SO I JUST HOPE THAT I CAN BE AS GOOD OF A COP AS RAY IS. I'LL BE CALLING DAILY. YOU CAN CALL ME. I LIKE HEARING FROM YOU. ALL RIGHT. YOU SAID IT. SPEED DIAL. DON'T PUT ME IN A SPEED DIAL. NUMBER ONE. I'M SERGEANT DEAR WITH THE JEFFERSON PARISH SHERIFF'S OFFICE. TODAY, I'LL BE RIDING WITH ONE OF OUR ROOKIES, JOHN WIEBELT. AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE IF HE'S READY TO GO TO SOLO PATROL TODAY. THIS IS TO SEE IF I'M WORTHY. THIS IS GOING TO PROVE WHETHER I'VE SOAKED UP ENOUGH INFORMATION TO BE ON MY OWN. GREAT. A CONCERNED CITIZEN WHO WANTED TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS ADVISED THAT THE SUSPECT WAS IN THE STREET FIRING THE WEAPON AT THE GROUND AND IN THE AIR AND WAS SAYING THAT HE WANTED TO CHALLENGE THE POLICE WHEN WE ARRIVE TO THAT LOCATION. JUST KIND OF LOOK AROUND, SEE WHAT YOU SEE. THERE'S SOMEBODY OVER HERE. DISPATCH: BLACK MALE WEARING BLUE JEANS AND A WHITE SHIRT. BACK HERE, POLICE. COME AND TRY ME. I DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS TRYING TO SCARE US AWAY, BUT THE SEARCH IS GOING TO CONTINUE. LOST SIGHT OF HIM BETWEEN 2 BUILDINGS, 916 AND 920. -THAT WAS HIM? -I DON'T KNOW. I DIDN'T WANT TO GO TOO FAST BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WOULD START SHOOTING AT US OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SEE IF WE COULD FIND HIM, IF HE THREW THE GUN DOWN ANY WHERE. I GUESS A STRESSFUL CALL FROM, COMING TO SOME, A CALL WITH A GUN, SO YOU'RE KIND OF UNSURE WHAT TO DO. BUT THAT WILL COME WITH TIME. JUST TRYING TO FIND A LEAD ON WHERE, WHERE HE MIGHT HAVE DITCHED THE WEAPON AT. BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE THE WEAPON WHEN WE SAW HIM. YOU'LL SAW ANYTHING? OH, YEAH? THERE'S THE WEAPON RIGHT THERE. YOU KNOW, AS WE WERE COMING DOWN THE STREET, HE WAS STILL FIDDLING WITH THE GUN. WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS THE INTENTION TO SHOOT AT US. THE GUN POSSIBLY LOCKED UP OR MALFUNCTIONED. THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD THING FOR US. BUT AT LEAST WE GOT THE GUN OFF THE STREET. - YEAH, WE DID THAT. - SO IT WORKED OUT RIGHT. DEPUTY WIEBELT DID REALLY WELL AND IT'S GOING TO BE MY RECOMMENDATION THAT HE GOES ON SOLO PATROL STARTING TOMORROW.
