Cork and ! responded to lois ol hot call-- . bank robberies, now. bu'glane and somewhere m the neighborhood ot a million "unknown disturbance, shots tired" calls. We always resolved the situations, but almost never ir. such a way that made us write a erious report. Here's how i! worked We'd get a call lo investigate a suspicious individual I pon arrival, we'd find a wmo passed out in the gutter. Cork and I would load the drunk in the car. drive him to another sector and leave him on someone's lawn Then we'd go find a pay phone. Posing as a concerned cmen. Cork would make another prowler call, giv ing the dispatcher the new location ot the drunk. Then it was a simple matter of parking somewhere and keeping an eve on tne drunk so that he didn't get hurt until the sector car rolled up and arrested him. As a weird as it sounds. Cork wasn't lav either He put a lot oi work into avoiding writing According to him. reports reports meant having your name on paper, which invariant, led to overtime, court subpoenas, internal at'tair.s investigand law suits. These ation-, things, according lo Cirk. were tilings to be avoided at all costs. Sometimes the cost was rather high. Once, we were sent lo a disturbance a: a s!eav bar. C"urk UJi.

Instead, we talked the suspect into our car and drove him around Urr three hours, at which time he had sobered up enough lo feel ihe pain caused by the traps When he them off. we drove him to a bar in another sector.
