I'm an ECO magnet...

We got another one this morning. Mom goes and gets an ECO for her paranoid schizo son. We (my Sgt,fellow shift mate and I) get there and he is not having any part of the "it's for your own good" speech. Time for hands on and he bucks.....big time!

Sgt and the other Officer latch on he he's throwing them around like rag dolls. Sgt is a big guy 6' 240+ and the other Officer is nicknamed Bones because he's skinny. I get my OC out but Bones is too close to his head and he's still bucking wildly. I jump on the pile but can't find anything to grab but his head. Then he stands up....with all 3 of us on him. We wrestle him down again but not before busting tables, ash trays and a red bong.

We finally get him cuffed....and 4 hours later Deputies are taking him to Western State hospital.

Great job on staying safe during the fight - what is an ECO?

ECO: Emergency Custody Order

If a subject is a threat to harm themselves or others OR they can't properly take care of themselves then we take them in custody. We take the to a hospital to be evaluated.

Do they let y'all carry stun guns or tazers? - I bet one of those big ol' buffalo zappers like they sell at gun shows around here would lay them guys out flat whether they were schizo or not

It must be something in the air. Over the weekend I done a few of those. I think I committed 3 or so people over the weekend.

Yeah we get alot to. I dont mind transporting them we usually talk about how bad it is to live around here. I always tell them that B-ford, VA is a beautiful little town and how nice the officers are there.
Many have moved there and written me to tell me how much they love it. I think we are going to start an assisted moving program

I attract the same types too, only I can't do anything but nod and smile.

God, I hate customer service.

I've had dealings with some of "your" people.....remember Mr. Kent?
