Not WV cops either. Town cops of a bordering state
I live 30mins from my store and i get a call form the alarm company that the glass was broke and the police have been dispatched. Im on my way to get in my truck to go back and I called another manager who lives 5mins away.. he said he would take care of it. He just called me back. When he pulled up 3 police cars were the 3 sides of the building waiting for him. He got out and the officers said "go on in and turn the alarm off, we will be right here" Wisky...Tango..Foxtrot... He said he went in alone. I almost yelled at him for doing that and not making the officers go in first. I wish he got the names of them. pisses me off.. let me edit. I highly respect State Troopers of both states. Iv had alot of bad experiences with town cops |

Your story does not indicate if the local police were on scene before your manager, and cleared the building prior to his arrival. Maybe they did and just wanted him to shut the alarm off before they take the report....
If they did send your manager in first, then yeah....WTF. |

Alarm went off at my mother in law's house while she was out of town.
Turns out that some kids had a garage door opener and were driving around seeing how many garage doors it would open. Her neighbor went to close the garage door and was going to exit the house through the front door since she was not fast enough to beat the door before it closed. when I got there, the officers had already cleared the house and got the statement from the neighbor. |

Quoted: No glass broken, no signs of entry. Turn your alarm off. Eh, I see it as a public relations thing. I remind them that as tax payers, they are paying for a service. Why not use it. I don't mind searching the house/building, and it's good practice for the new guys. JMHO John |
