Dude, sounds like you've been riding a chaotic rollercoaster, but I'm glad it sounds like you're having a blast with it. It's crazy how things have changed over the past few years.
On my department, there are two Sgts and one Lt per precinct per shift. Three years ago, I fell into a situation where I was the only Sgt and acting Lt for the shift, covering the largest precinct in the city for an extended period. Having to supervise 20-24 officers absolutely broke me so kudos to you for enduring this burden. Stay safe brother.
@ one sergeant was on maternity leave, the other was out with an injury requiring surgery and the Lt was also out with an injury requiring surgery. Due to the College World Series, which spans about two weeks in early June, there were not just enough Sgt’s to pick up the gaps in coverage. It was a perfect storm that unfortunately happens yearly for my department and I wasn’t the only one sergeant in the same or similar situation. It was very mentally and emotionally taxing and stressful to try to handle normal admin business for my crew as well as the other crew on top of responding to calls where a supervisor was required and trying to keep track of my guys and be ready to help them when needed.
@DrGrimloch Why would sports impact manpower, and how did they all get injuries if they mostly do desk work? I also thought there's supposed to be one sergeant for every three or five officers, in general. Or does that depend on the department's S.O.P.?
@@GCY1 the College World Series is a major sporting event requiring a massive amount of law enforcement presence not just from local PD but county and federal agencies. It brings tens of thousands of people into the city every summer. The demands are so high, non-uniform personnel like detectives are often required to work the street and vacation requests are extremely limited during those weeks. As for desk work, most sergeants, especially uniform patrol sergeants are not “desk workers” while we do have some administrative duties, we are front line supervisors expected to be mobile and in the field for the majority of our shift. Sergeants are expected to respond to any robbery scene or violent crime to control the scene and supervise responding officers before handing it over to criminal investigations personnel. And in active police work injuries happen all the time. Not all are on duty injuries, some occur during training or even off duty. As far as Sgt to officer ratio goes, I don’t know if it’s the same everywhere, but my department has 100-ish sergeants and about 800-ish officers. Then you have all the ranks above Sgt, with my department having an authorized strength around 1000 officers. In my experience the lowest amount of officers I’ve had to supervise at one time was 4 when I was a detective sergeant with the evening burglary/fraud unit. When I supervised field investigation detectives on overnights, it was 6, and as a street sergeant it was a minimum crew of 10 officers.
I’ve had several supervisors and managers over the 22 years I worked at a hotel. When my supervisor or manager would do something (I worked outside at the swimming pool) like walk past where a guest left a mess and they would just clean up the mess. Like plates and cups that are empty. I had other ones that would walk past and go out of there way to come tell me to clean it up. And I’d go clean it up. But the supervisors or managers that would take care of it I called them working supervisors/ managers and when they asked me to do something I would take care of it. You are a working supervisor and you will have all the more respect. Stay safe
I certainly don't see you guys It's not being important. You all are a very important part of my life. It was just having to come up with several ideas for videos per week that burned me out. Definitely nothing to do with you all though.
not just 401 but alot of older youtubes are having hiatus around now. i blame the extened period of time were we all were stuck in side. so glad 401 is still sticking around
the radio stuff is on point. im a dispatcher and we are sympathetic to call we have to send out. so when something ridiculous, or stupid or even just straight up funny, we make a hard commitment to put it out in a humorous manner without breaking radio etiquette. it gives everyone listening a chuckle. the worst is when someone messes up or gets tongue tied on the radio. its straight go time. (night shift things only by the way, wouldnt advise for when brass is around)
I remember when you were showing me what was in your patrol car and you got in trouble, now your a sergeanant and I’m a freshman in college. Time flies. Hope you keep on enjoying life and sharing when and what you can.
I had one job right across from the floor admin AND the womens bathroom. Talk about distractions. Everyone talks to the admin and the bathroom door is a revolving door! 🤦♂️ Hahaha the taller comment and “poop” comment had me rolling!!!!
Been a hell of a last few years for the boys in blue. I showed this to my wife, who is a cop and SWAT member, and she said she is also a "serg-enant." It is crazy how they are expecting cops to work harder than damn Military SpecOps guys. I work with a lot of Green Berets in the Marine Raider Reg, they often call cops Blue Berets, I think it fits better now than ever. I'm glad we have level headed Blue Berets keeping the streets safe while the Greens keep it saves off them. You seem like a leader I'd love to work under man. Keep up the work and don't feel pressured to upload.
Glad you're back and hope your holidays were great. America needs more people like you, to help stave off the hate the bad eggs who have/continue (Note: Even on TT they are proud of the hate, always without names and blurred badges) to spread about the industry.
Former firefighter here... should have called fire, bring in the hose. You always have to come clear our shit, we can clear it for you from time to time.
Good luck! I do my Polygraph and Psychological evaluation next Thursday here in Flagstaff AZ. They said they want to get me into the Academy sometime in February. I sure hope so cause if I miss the winter Academy it means I have to run in that dreadful Phoenix heat this summer! 🥵
You need to keep a journal of all of these great stories!! Sounds like you are having a great time and you shouldn’t ever apologize that! You’re right, when people enjoy who they are working for, they are absolutely going to be happier, want to come to work and all around do a better job!! Much love to you and Mrs 401!! 💗💗💗
I wish I could like this video multiple times. I’m so so happy you’re doing well and thriving in your job. It’s a true pleasure to see someone do the job they were born to do. Happy New Year, Lieu-Serg.
Mate I relate to this so much, everything, all down to not being on the phone for too long lol. But I am 17 and have inspired to be a police officer in Australia for as long as I can remember. I also had ADD, ASD and was worried about that effecting my future, but from you opening up (and I know it's hard), you have restored my confidence in applying. Keep up the awesome work!
It sounds like you and my husband, who was promoted to lieutenant for a local sheriff's dept. last year, have a lot in common. My life has been chaos with all of his shift changes in the last year. Hard for him, but our family life has been turned upside down with each change. I'm proud to say my husband supervises in a similar way and the respect given to him is overwhelming at times. When one of his deputies told my husband he would go to war with him, I knew his deputies would always have his back. It all comes down to this. If you treat your team right, they'll treat you right in return. My favorite quote: Attitude reflects leadership. And the job is hard, have a little fun and smile once in a while.
I used to be in the county's EMA and monitored both the police and fire frequencies. One day I was listening when a couple of town police called into the sheriff's dispatch requesting an officer with a "slim Jim" to come to the practice range and unlock their police car for them. The dispatch sent an officer and after that I heard the sheriff come on the air and ask if the officers needing assistance were Beavis and that other fellow. 😆
You are what the difference between a boss and a leader is. You are not a boss like so many others. You are a leader to your officers and that is very rare to see in all professions these days. Thank you for standing up for what's right, treating your officers with respect and dignity, and fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for your department. Take care, sir.
I was working at 3 different departments when I retired. All had different codes and signals. It was never intentional, but sometimes I would mess up and the dispatcher would be laughing so hard he couldn’t answer me on the radio. I was a captain at one department, a corporal at another, and a correctional officer at another. Fun times !!!!!!
Small dept in my area had the LT promote to Chief (yes, one LT and now he was Chief). The Sgt, who just got the promotion less than a year before, is now the only supervisor between the Line staff and the Chief. Then a month ago, the Chief died of a heart attack. Now this poor Sgt is acting Chief for his Dept.
11:24 that would be an awesome way to bridge the gap between the public and LEOs. Especially giving everyone an organic transparency platform for encounters and reality of the day-to-day life an LEO on or off shift.
We have the same humor at the FD, I'm right out of high school and I've only been there for 4 months, but I have a lot of stories . We have a few guys on shift that can make the whole room just roll with laughter. I've even somehow made a couple of the officers and a few of my guys laugh. One of my favorite times was when we just put the patient on the hospital bed, I was out of the room with the cot and my other three partners were in the room with the patient and the nurse. My partner hands the call button to the patient and said "this is the call button, you can press it how ever many times you want and the nurse will drop what she's doing and come running." The whole room just starts laughing (myself included in the hallway, I was thinking "he did not just say that". ) When my other partner and I just got back on the ambulance he said "you should've seen the look on that nurse's face, she was pissed." And my other partner and I just started laughing.
@@gigamut11b86 thanks! I ended up going out to dinner and the waiter accidentally mistook my politeness for flirtatiousness because he slipped me his number 😂😂😂
This is amazing, I still remember watching your videos from when you used to record inside your unit. Fast forward three years later, you’ve been promoted and I’m approaching my 3rd year law in law-enforcement. Your videos inspired me! God bless and keep LEADING the charge.
I had a similar situation on the fire department, regular firefighter when responding to calls, but public relations lieutenant and city council liaison. Later elected fully LT
My father was a police officer in San Diego and one of the funniest radio exchanges I remember him sharing happened on his 40th birthday. A friend knew someone in dispatch and sent him to a “call” at 4040 40th st.
My LT waits until the Monday we approve our time cards to fix every officers time card. Even through you have emailed him all week about fix’s and corrections.
"Baptism by Fire Hose" know the feeling. 20+ years later I am still waiting to be trained on some posts that I worked. Then later getting tasked with training newbies on that post.
Always interesting seeing how differently other departments work. Our dispatch if the zone deputy is on a call, they just call whoever the next closest deputy is.
Welcome back we missed you!!!! listening to those little quips brought back memories of my ridealongs as an explorer. Best practical joke ever was helping tie the doors shut on a vehicle using a roll of the police line tape. Then tapping on the window to wake them up.
Fuck me sideways if it isn't truth. Never ever ever micromanage anyone. Im working as a supervisor (in construction) and i had always told every new guy we got "you got questions call me, you are uncertain about something call me" and so far we had zero quitting rate. I call my boss myself when im uncertain of something. I had super shit bosses before and i promised myself i will not become one of the shit ones. 9 years in on job and not a single self requested quit. So i hope i am doing something right
My criminal justice teacher was sort of like this, the only difference is that his old department got rid of the Sergeant position. Therefore, he went from Officer straight to Lt.
30-years on the job, retired as a Corporal, 20-22 years of those working mostly weekend graveyard, BY CHOICE . . . It sounds to me like you are too good of a cop and supervisor to promote to a desk jockey Lieutenant or higher. Are they even cops?!?! Congratulations on not losing your cop side for your men/women subordinates. Those canine guys! Heaven forbid they have to take a report or handle a call other than a canine deployment or bite report!! Prima donnas! But how dare you utter the hose dragger euphemism “drinking water from a fire hose!!” That is a “gig-able” offense, Sir! Glad to have you back on the Tube.
Been watching this channel since the early days. From the old Charger go-pro videos, news of the new kid and when you were in CID. You are coming up big time man.
Officer 401 I just want to thank you for all the content you produce and all the great info you provide, I've been watching you for a long time and you're a big reason why I want to go into law enforcement. My background investigator told me if everything goes smoothly I should be looking at getting into the Sheriff's Academy in March.
Was just telling the fiance that I've missed watching your beautiful face on the Tube of Yous! Glad you're back however you should ALWAYS ALWAYS focus on your family first. We'll always be here for your videos whenever it comes out :)
I'm a police cadet at my university so same radio and all that, just don't carry the power of arresting and carrying a weapon on shift. I've had plenty of funny occurrences. I'll tell one real quick. My university has a lot of parking decks, and late at night people like to go up and get...um...frisky...seriously they have dorms and apartments but whatever. So on some occurrences the couple won't leave and an officer has to show up and some of the call outs to dispatch are hilarious. For example: along the lines of "There's two college students getting exercise in, they'll be on their way out soon" "two college age persons getting extracurricular activity in, they'll be headed out, show me clear services performed" funny stuff like that at 1am makes me crack up cause it can get boring on a college campus on weekdays.
You're a good supervisor because you're a good leader. Take care of your Officers and they will take care of you. This makes the entire shift better because everyone is taking care of everyone.
Oh man, that cat comment hit right today because I have a coworker who is trying to give away kittens that his cat had and nobody wants them. I was Rolling.
In Greece we actually have a specific rank which is in between the police Sergeant and Lieutenant, called Warrant Officer. A Warrant Officer is neither an NCO nor a CO but if we put them on a scale, it would lean a bit towards the NCO side.

A supervisor makes a huge difference and your officers are lucky to have you!
10000000%
The mark of a true leader is being willing to perform a task you ask of someone else. That's leadership! You got it bro!
I will never ask someone to do something I wouldn't do or haven't done myself
A supervisor with common sense??? Didn't know they exist! I'm not an officer, but I'd love to have you as my supervisor!!! Happy New Year!!!!
Rarer than a fucking unicorn I'll tell you that
Let's hope, Officer 401's videos, will inspire others to be kind & use common sense! 👍
@@Masterchief0397 drama queen lolll
Not everyone has a common sense flower in their garden
They're rare. But they're out there!
"I wanna talk to your manager!"
You: Switch hats.
I’ve had several supervisors and managers over the 22 years I worked at a hotel.

"It gets me away from the brass" ummm sir... you ARE the brass 🤣🤣
Love how 401 talks about his officers as if they're his kids.
That's an interesting perspective. That's actually pretty accurate.
Hey 401 it's ok we understand about burn out your job is stressful and family is more important than us just don't forget us
I certainly don't see you guys It's not being important. You all are a very important part of my life. It was just having to come up with several ideas for videos per week that burned me out. Definitely nothing to do with you all though.

I love the way you have the officers' backs because they need it.
I think the next best thing from doing what you love. Is being appreciated and having a boss/ higher up that notices you’re work.

My background investigator told me if everything goes smoothly I should be looking at getting into the Sheriff's Academy in March.
I just took my polygraph today and I'm 99% sure I passed so next up is Psych eval.
Your agency must love your channel.
Glad you're back, but also glad you took time for you and to regroup. Stay safe out there.
Welcome back. Loved the comment about the need for integrity to be a LEO. Stay safe have fun.
Was just telling the fiance that I've missed watching your beautiful face on the Tube of Yous! Glad you're back however you should ALWAYS ALWAYS focus on your family first. We'll always be here for your videos whenever it comes out :)
I'm a police cadet at my university so same radio and all that, just don't carry the power of arresting and carrying a weapon on shift. I've had plenty of funny occurrences. I'll tell one real quick. My university has a lot of parking decks, and late at night people like to go up and get...um...frisky...seriously they have dorms and apartments but whatever. So on some occurrences the couple won't leave and an officer has to show up and some of the call outs to dispatch are hilarious. For example: along the lines of "There's two college students getting exercise in, they'll be on their way out soon" "two college age persons getting extracurricular activity in, they'll be headed out, show me clear services performed" funny stuff like that at 1am makes me crack up cause it can get boring on a college campus on weekdays.
You're a good supervisor because you're a good leader. Take care of your Officers and they will take care of you. This makes the entire shift better because everyone is taking care of everyone.
I think the saying goes “people don’t quite the company, they quit a bad supervisor”.
Feels like it’s been a year since your last upload. Glad to see you back
Glad to see you back!
Glad to see you are coming back. I just checked the other day thinking I missed some of your videos
I have been BEGGING my department to adopt the twelve-hour (four-platoon) style work schedule.

I am so happy you are happy!! I've missed you, so welcome back.

Oh man, that cat comment hit right today because I have a coworker who is trying to give away kittens that his cat had and nobody wants them. I was Rolling.
Officer401, glad to see you here again!
"Been a while since I cranked one out"..../BARKLAUGH 🤣
Slide - "Ask the closest Firehall to send an Engine out. Might need a Tender to ferry some extra H20. "
I liked your attitude from time I met you when you worked for bpd and I was a county volunteer.
Glad to see you back!!
We understand that you want to spend time with family, and burn out is very understandable.
damn brother, i started following you at less than 1000 now you are at 647k! congrats and congrats on the jump in pay!
A better analogy is “I change my office more than I change my car tires”
Been subbed for years and just learned you also struggle with ADD. MAN I felt all the stuff you said about distractions
In Greece we actually have a specific rank which is in between the police Sergeant and Lieutenant, called Warrant Officer. A Warrant Officer is neither an NCO nor a CO but if we put them on a scale, it would lean a bit towards the NCO side.
Glad you're back
My man glad to see ya back
Sounds like a good time to pick up on smoking cigars hah. Great way to unwind,reflect and meditate. Works for me.
