American Comics: When the Police Comes to Knock on the Door

January 009, YD Bureau main office.

"Dong dong" the secretary pushed open the door of the bureau's main office.

"Director, Richard Long is here, should we let him in now?"

"Yes, please invite him in." Roosevelt Bureau Chief raised his head and looked at the secretary and said.

The secretary leaned against the door, turned sideways, turned to Richard who was waiting outside the door and said, "Please come in."

"Thank you." Richard walked into the office.

The secretary nodded to Richard and closed the door.

Richard stood in front of his desk, standing at attention with his head raised and chest raised.

"You've lost weight and grown taller," Roosevelt said, looking at Richard.

"Yes."

"What's wrong with your hair?"

"I guess mission accomplished, a new life requires a new image."

Roosevelt pondered for a while and said to Richard: "This operation went very smoothly. The entire Wagner family has been arrested. Don't worry, don't feel too burdened."

Roosevelt thought that Richard changed his image and dyed blond hair because he was afraid of the gang's revenge. Little did he know that Richard's blond hair now was not dyed at all. But Richard could only follow what he said. The body's growth and thinning can be said to be secondary growth. How to explain the hair turning to blonde.

"Thank you." Richard smiled awkwardly but politely. If you can’t explain it, just laugh.

"No, I should be the one thanking you. It is because of people like you that New York can be as peaceful as it is now."

Are you kidding me about peace in New York? Richard, who once lived in an ordinary world and grew up under a red flag, really couldn't understand why Roosevelt had the nerve to talk about peace.

But in fact, Roosevelt was right. Since he took office as Commissioner of the New York City Police Department, the crime rate in New York City has dropped year after year, and in the past two years it has dropped by 0%. New York is indeed more peaceful than before. This is also the reason why Roosevelt was able to serve two consecutive terms as bureau chief.

A country that can't even deal with criminals

Yes, I really can’t deal with it.

Although New York has nearly 5 city police officers and nearly 5 assisting police officers, these are far from enough. The functions of the police here are more complex, ranging from neighborhood disputes to terrorist attacks.

Then why not hire more police? We don’t have the money. City council funding is like squeezing out toothpaste, you squeeze out a little bit and he gets out a little bit.

If the police are like this, the procuratorate is even more so. Because there are too many criminals, criminals cannot be prosecuted in a timely or effective manner. This gives criminals time and space to threaten witnesses or victims, which in turn makes it more difficult for the prosecution to win the case. Witnesses or victims can only choose to reconcile and dare not Testify against the criminal, and the criminal is acquitted. Then the cost of crime drops, there are more criminals, and then it becomes even more difficult to deal with.

For various reasons, crime is difficult to cure, not just in New York, but in many places. Roosevelt was able to reduce the crime rate so much that it was indeed peace in his eyes.

"My pleasure." Richard didn't know how to answer it, so he could only say it casually.

Roosevelt took out a box from the drawer, stood up and walked over to Richard.

"In view of your outstanding performance in this mission, you are hereby awarded the Medal of Honor." Roosevelt handed the box in his hand to Richard, "Sorry, due to the special nature of your mission, we cannot hold a separate commendation meeting for you. , the awarding ceremony will be held at the annual commendation meeting."

"I understand." Richard took the box.

"Please sit down, would you like something to drink?" Roosevelt did not sit back at his desk, but sat on the sofa indoors.

"Thank you, no." Richard also sat down.

"Because this mission is quite special, you have not been trained by the police academy. Now that your mission is completed, it is time to enter the police academy."

After all, I still can’t escape going to school.

"Ok."

"Don't be so formal. I still have some time. Now, let me know about your experience in the Wagner family."

Richard came out of the office and stood next to the black F150. He opened the box and placed
