Hey group,
A while back a post on Mark Schmidt’s Blog (since deleted) asked why I monitored police calls in my area. The Poster was being a smart-ass so I didn’t bother to reply to him. But I got to thinking that some in here might wonder why I monitored cop calls as hearing one meant that cops were already on the way. I have 2 reasons. Reason 1 is that it updates the version of Oracle we use. No where near all the calls cops get and roll on hit the papers. So I use it as another way of keeping track of crimes. Reason 2 is that members of the EALA may already be in the area. Cops rolling on a call and encountering masked individuals on the scene might get a wee bit curious as to why said masked folks are there. My guys (not wanting to be asked to unmask) prefer to leave before the cops show up. So part of my gig is to give them a heads up as needed If anyone else has a question on procedures I’ll be happy to answer it providing I have an answer.
