N. Keene Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Not far out of the station, I hear a call come out. "Yeah ERT, 208, show me responding." I hang the mix back up and proceed along with no sirens or lights to not surprise anyone.

E. Hawke Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 Hearing the call go out over the radio I take a look at the notes given. Some people do not like Thomas Jefferson I guess. Already heading south on Bay Street I grab the mic on my shoulder and key it up. "206, responding" Keeping my lights and sirens off I glance more at the notes as I drive slowly down there. Seems they also tagged the WW1 Monument as well. Coporal Evelyn Hawke Unit 215 Shiloh County Sheriff Department Badge 1504 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. Keene Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I pull up on scene and see bushes along the park. Man, where is that monument again? I'll have to slow roll and find it. At least I'm not in a car with a bar. And the hybrid means no motor noise. "ERT, 208 I'm in the area, looking around."

E. Hawke Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 Continuing to drive south on Bay Street and passing by the other three presidential statues without seeing anything I guess that means they are still nearby the Thomas Jefferson one. "ERT, 206, I'm also in the area" Reaching the Jefferson statue and still not seeing them I am guessing they are still in the park as I park 206. The notes said they also got the WW1 so I doubt they'd be there so I begin wondering what other landmarks is in the area as I see Keene in 208 show up.

N. Keene Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I notice 206 pull in to the side of the road, and I park behind her. Getting out of the car, I approach her as she does the same "Hey, notice anything on the way up? Not seeing anything jumping out at us. Yet anyways." While she's answering, I look around and see the Jefferson monument with the markings, but no would be hoodlums nearby.

E. Hawke Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 'Nope, saw nothing on my way down' As I answer Keene's question I notice that he's looking at the tagged monument. 'Either they left cause they were done or they went to find another structure to spray paint on. Notes say they already got the WW1 monument down the path. Doubt they'll go back there. That leaves the Washington Statue and the Revolutionary War monument but those can be seen from Bay Street and they weren't at either of those places.'

M. Price Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Hearing that the suspects could not be found from the two units on scene I sigh and close the call as they say they are returning to patrol.
