You're excited. You're nervous. You're ready to take on the Sicilian crime world and the Latin American drug traffikers and come out unscathed. You're a cop. Before you start your first day on the job, there are some things you should know about the road you've chosen. Someone once said that being a cop is ninety-five percent boredom. Routine is the foundation of police work - routine that can include anything from sitting under a bridge with a radar gun in your hand for sixteen hours to making a midnight trip to the emergency room with half a kid in the back of your car. lt may not seem glamorous to rookies like you, but men who have been in the force know that "a cop's gotta do what a cop's gotta do". What's the other five percent of being a cop? Try plunging down the steepest roller-coaster you can imagine at about a hundred and fifty miles per hour. At night. Except, there's nobody at the controls down below. You'ye got the controls. There's a lot of screaming people on the ride behind you, and you're the one steering. Now, the brakes go.... I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that ninety-five and five sound like pretty good percentages. You're thinking that you could manage being lucky five percent of the time. Trouble is, that's an average. On certain days, for certain cops, things can get MUCH worse. But, that's why you joined, isn't it? The force needs you. Lytton needs you. And you can steer real good. So what are you waiting for? Go out and DO IT. WARNING The next page is for "rookies" only.
