Cop Tales  

Cops are natural story tellers.  They tell their bosses what they've done, they write reports, and give testimony in court.  And, they share with their follow cops what they have done at work.  Cop Tales are the stories that don't make it to court.  They are the stories they'd prefer their bosses don't know.  And they are the stories their families won't know.  Cop Tales are those stories shared with those who have the understanding of another person who has "been there, done that."

 

Police work is often a mixture of terror and humor. Sharing those stories with others who wear the badge helps the officers realize they are still human in a job that can be de-humanizing.

 

These are the stories of Cop Tales

 

In "The Scar," a rookie works up his courage to learn the secret of how his veteran Field Training Officer got that horrible scar.

 

A veteran shares with a rookie the truth about "Post Shooting Trauma."

 

A second shift dispatcher on a quiet Sunday realizes he holds the info that can save a cop's life on what should have been "A Day of Rest."

 

Two experienced cops with different styles discover "Family Ties," when arresting a violent man.
