An Officer’s Life
*You wonder why he pulled you over and gave you a ticket for speeding,
He just worked an accident where people died because they were going too fast...
*You wonder why that cop was so mean,
He just got done working a case where a drunk driver killed a kid.

*You work for 8 hours,
He works for up to 18 hours.

*You drink hot coffee to stay awake,
The cold rain in the middle of the night keeps him awake.

*You complain of a "headache," and call in sick,
He goes into work still hurt and sore from the guy he had to fight the night before.

*You drink your coffee on your way to the mall,
He spills his as he runs Code 3 to a traffic crash with kids trapped inside.

*You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket before you leave the house,
He makes sure his gun is clean and fully loaded and his vest is tight.

*You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you,
He watches his buddy get shot at, and wounded in front of him.

*You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls,
He walks down the highway looking for body parts from a traffic crash.

*You complain about how hot it is,
He wears fifty pounds of gear and a bullet proof vest in July and still runs around chasing crack heads.

*You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong,
He runs out before he gets his food to respond to an armed robbery.

*You get out of bed in the morning and take your time getting ready,
He gets called out of bed at 2 am after working 12 hours and has to be into work A.S.A.P. for a homicide.

*You go to the mall and get your hair redone,
He holds the hair of some college girl while shes puking in the back of his patrol car.

*You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over,
His shift ended 4 hours ago and there's no end in sight.

*You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight,
He can't make any plans because on his off days he still gets called back into work.

*You yell and scream at the squad car that just past you because they slowed you down,
He's in the driver seat of the squad car, going to cut somebody out of their car.

*You roll your eyes when a baby cries in public,
He picks up a dead child in his arms and prays that it was crying.

*You criticize your police department and say they're never there quick enough,
He blasts the siren while the person in front of him refuses to move while talking on their cell phone.

*You hear the jokes about fallen officers and say they should have known better,
He is a hero and runs into situations when everyone else is running away in order to make sure no one else gets hurt and loses his life doing it.

*You are asked to go to the store by your parents, you don't,
He would take a bullet for his buddy without question.

*You sit there and judge him, saying that it's a waste of money to have them around,

Yet as soon as you need help he is there.

PRESS RELEASE
11/04/2014
Corey Davis, Captain-
The Longwood University Emergency Response Team (LUERT) was recently accused by the Longwood University Police Department as possessing dangerous equipment (specifically 3 smaller-sized oxygen cylinders) and that we were not in compliance with Section 16, sub-section a of the Student Handbook which states:
"16. Flammable Items:
a. Possessing, lighting or burning candles, incense, oil lamps, lanterns, grills, or any item/device capable of producing an open or enclosed/contained flame in any residence hall or Longwood owned or controlled property, except when such use is consistent with existing policies or written permission is provided by the Vice President for Student Affairs."

It was because of this accusation that LUERT was placed on temporary suspension pending an investigation and hearing, however, the administrative hearing held Tuesday, November 4 at 12:45pm has found LUERT "not responsible" (Longwood jargon for not guilty) of the accusations made.

I would like to reassure the public that LUERT continues to operate in accordance with Longwood policy and procedure and strives to promote safety within our organization as well as campus wide.

Any questions or comments in reference to this press release can be directed to Corey Davis, LUERT Captain, by emailing [email protected].

On Monday afternoon, a cop in New York named Patrick Hildenbrand pulled over a 20-year-old guy named Matthew Morgan for speeding.

But it turned out Matthew's two-year-old son, Matthew Jr., had just had a SEIZURE, wasn't breathing, didn't have a PULSE, and they were racing to the hospital. So Patrick told Matthew to jump in the back of his police car, and they took off together.

Then he called ahead to let doctors know what was up, and told Matthew how to do CPR on a child. But Matthew was too freaked out to follow his directions.

So Patrick held the steering wheel with his left hand . . . reached into the backseat with his right hand . . . and HE started doing chest compressions WHILE they were speeding to the hospital.

It saved the boy's LIFE. When they got to the hospital he started breathing again, and it looks like he'll be okay.
