Asked by Malcom about 5 years ago

I haven't seen the list and do not intend to activate the link. Sorry to be so unhelpful, but my anti-virus software doesn't like it.

If someone broke out do you think they would try and chase the person down and tackle them or do you think they would just shoot them

Asked by 3498 over 5 years ago

I have been out of the job for 15 years, but when I was there, if somebody ran you shot them. That's what the guns or for.

my wife is in jail shes mental health scared and in medical the captin came to her with my mugshot asking why why why him and started asking what gang im in and all this is that legal

Asked by cory jackson over 5 years ago

From what I can tell (your writing leaves something to be desired) the Captain at the jail asked your wife what gang you are in. As far as I know it is perfectly legal for him to ask. It is also perfectly legal for her to tell him to pound sand.

After a while you sort of get numb to the gross and disgusting things people are capable of doing to each other. Sad, but true.

Are officers issued PPE for this virus?

Asked by asdfasdf over 5 years ago

Damned if I know. I have been retired for 15 years. Back in the day we did issue gloves but I strongly suspect anything that needed PPE equipment would be handled by medical, not custody.
