The Dumbest Excuses Ever

Instead of defining acronyms, let's hear some war stories. What are some of the dumbest excuses you've ever heard? And just to make it extra humorous, excuses from anyone. PPOs about why they forgot their gun, arrestees about why they ran, domestics about why they domesticated, you get the idea. Try to keep the stories generic - no names, no ethnic slurring, etc. At least make the effort to be civil.

This was mentioned this a few months back but it bears repeating. They were giving an armed robbery just occurred at 103rd and Western. There were a string of armed robberies on west end of 22.

The car that gets the assignment says, "I was just going to ask you for a lunch in the station." It gest reassigned. Literally, 10 minutes later he comes back on air and says, "change that to a personal, I'll head over there."

The worse excuse I've ever heard after having to force a 2 year wonder to respond to a csa in progress was that "it's not in are sector". On a better note, I was driving through 016 around 0930 and saw 1613 responding to domestic on addsion with his lights/siren on and his back up arrived very shortly after him. I also heard somebody in 016 chasing a burglary offender. The one thing I did notice was that the officers were seasoned vetearns. I would just like to that those guys for their hard work. Conerning the previous posts about "the dogs" it's all comes down to a lack of supervision.

The city doesn't even attempt to give excuses.

Retirees send in authorization forms to the Retirement Board to qualify for HR218. Weeks later, they send back a reply that you now have to submit a form to 35th St. You do as told. No response.

Why the unexplained DALEY, I mean DELAY?

"I picked it off the seat and put it in my pocket because if you saw it next to me you would've put in on me anyways." Later on I asked him again and he said same reply but that he figured I wouldn't search him. Maybe he wasn't lying???

I was working with a recruit who was no longer on her cycles but hadn't gotten off probation yet. Its 4 hours into the shift, we've coded numerous domestics, had an arrest, and gone on several other jobs being a 10-4 unit on a mostly 99 watch. hoping to stop for some lunch when a call comes out for a missing 14 year old habitual in another sector. Unit assigned hasn't been heard on the radio all day, she says, "Squad, beat 931's got a recruit maybe they can handle it to get some practice." Maybe I can handle you to get some practice!

About 11 yrs. ago, while working in 010, a call came out in 011 asking if anyone had a car opening device for a citizen somewhere on Harrison. An 011th dist. car answers up and the zone tells him that a cable guy locked his keys in his van. He tells the dispatcher to tell the guy he'll be there some time between 0800 and 1400. The radio errupted with laughter and kudos to this guy for the rest of the day.

Once about 30 years ago i was walking on State St during Christmas season

A middle aged woman was about to get on a N/B Bus when the pick pocket detail swarmed in on a young man who had just placed his hand in her purse.

The coppers pulled the offenders hand out of the purse, still clutching the ladie's wallet.
( sort of like Jack Horner pulling out the plum from his Christnmas pie)

The offender's words? " I didn't take that lady purse!"

I arrested a guy named Phillip Smith. When I inquired as to his surname he said "Smiff'

So I said (being a certified ebonics translator and knowing he meant SMITH) Lets see thats S-M-I...., one F or two??
He replied "no man I said SMIFF!"

Another time at an armed robbery We interviewed a possibl suspect who informed me that his name was Ronald McDonald.

My skillfull interrogation techniques revealed that he was indeed named Ronald McDonald

Sunday morning, about 0630 hrs, I'm parked reading the Sunday paper and a M/1/20's approaches my car and urgently asks:

Citizen: "Can you assist a citizen?"

PO: What's up?

Citizen: I need a ride home real bad. I'm 5 blocks from the house and my colostomy bag is about to bust.

PO: Then you better start steppin'.

Citizen: What happened to protect and serve?

My window then rolls-up and citizen trots off holding his abdomen.

This happened twice in a span of three weeks with the same individual at the same location. He stays out all Saturday night partying and waits too long to empty his bag. He then expects a ride from the police.

I need a new location to read the paper during the last half hour of my Sunday tour.
