The final time passed quickly. Jimmy completed all the exams for his community college. All that was left was to wait for the final certificate. His career as a county police officer was also coming to an end. Recently, he rarely went out on the police, and the dispatch center basically had nothing to do with it. Will not transfer the eucalyptus to his side.
December 18th was Jimmy's last day at work. In the morning, Jimmy was going through the final handover process. After that, he packed his things into two boxes. After that, he spent some time and left the police station in the afternoon.
At noon, Jimmy did not go out to eat. The police officers and office staff from the headquarters were also there. Jimmy called in advance to make an appointment for food and coffee delivery from two restaurants. At noon, the people from the police station had a simple dinner in the office as if it was for Jimmy. Sent off, although Jimmy paid the bill.
When Jimmy was about to leave in the afternoon, James stopped him. In the police station lobby, James summoned the people at the headquarters, and he pulled Jimmy to stand in front.
James: "As everyone knows, we are losing a colleague, partner, and friend today, Jimmy, who is leaving us.
In the past two years, Jimmy has set a good example for us. He is a good policeman, a good colleague, and a good partner. His departure is the biggest loss for our police department this year.
Although it has only been two years, he has done a lot for us. As a rookie police officer, he has been fighting at the forefront of fighting criminals. As a support police officer, he has completed all tasks outstandingly. We really can't ask for more from him.
The good news is that Jimmy has obtained admission to the FBI National Academy and will soon participate in FBI training. In the near future, Jimmy will be called an FBI agent by us.
Of course, I have another good news to say. After discussing with the County Management Committee, based on Jimmy’s service performance and merits over the past two years, we decided to award Jimmy the Outstanding Meritorious Service Medal in advance in recognition of his contribution to us over the past two years. contribute. "
James turned around and took a small box from the table next to him. After opening it, he handed it to Jimmy. Inside was a small medal. Jimmy tilted the box to show everyone, then closed it. Everyone in the hall began to applaud. Jimmy turned around, hugged James, and said thank you.
James pressed his hands, and after everyone stopped, he said, "Don't worry, there is one more thing."
James took out a county police badge from his pocket, but unlike a normal police badge, there was no number underneath.
James: "Jimmy, you will always be one of our own, and as Sheriff, I award you the Honorary Sheriff's Badge of the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office."
Jimmy stood at attention, and James pinned the honorary police badge to Jimmy's left breast.
Jimmy's eyes were a little red, and he whispered: "Thank you, Director."
James hugged Jimmy and said in his ear, "Go say goodbye to them."
Jimmy turned to look at everyone, his eyes swept across everyone, and Jimmy said: "Today is my last day at the police station. Thank you for taking care of me and caring about me over the past two years. I spent the most important time in my life here." Two years is the most memorable period in my life, and it is also a lifelong journey. Although I cannot continue to serve in the police station, no matter where I am, I will remember these days and you. Thank you."
….
Everyone was applauding Jimmy. Jimmy bowed to everyone, then walked over to shake hands and hug everyone, and said goodbye to everyone. Finally, he took his box and walked out of the county police station gate. He did not look back. The colleagues behind him were still applauding as he left.
Jimmy came to the parking lot, put the box in the trunk, and sat in the driver's seat. He took off the police badge on his left chest, wiped the non-existent dust on it with his clothes, and carefully placed it in the medal box he got.
There is nothing suitable to store this police badge in hand, and Jimmy doesn't want to just throw it into his pocket. This is the best gift he has received in his two years as a police officer.
Jimmy adjusted his mood, started the car, and left the county police station.
Because he was in a bad mood, Jimmy did not go home directly, but drove to Justin's bar. It's afternoon now, wine
The bar wasn't open yet, but Jimmy knew Justin was inside and he was just looking for someone to have a drink with.
Jimmy called Justin and asked Justin to open the door for him. Jimmy entered the bar with the medal box, and Justin had already walked into the bar.
Jimmy put the box on the bar and Justin came down with his drink and poured him a glass.
Justin: "Jimmy, you haven't been here for a long time. What happened recently?"
Jimmy: "Oh, it's nothing serious, it's just that I resigned from the county police today."
Justin was shocked. He had been so cooperative with Jimmy before, wasn't it just to promote a rising star he was optimistic about? Why did the rising star suddenly fly away?
Justin: "What's going on? Why did you leave your job? I haven't heard anything big happened recently."
Jimmy waved his hand, then picked up the cup and took a sip: "No, I changed my job. I will go to Virginia next year."
Justin thought for a moment, "Fbiia?"
Jimmy nodded and kept looking at the medal box: "Well, I will go to the FBI National Academy to study next year."
Justin: "Then I should congratulate you. You have become a federal agent from a small county police officer."
Jimmy: "Yeah, but I'm used to the life here, and suddenly I feel very uncomfortable." Jimmy reached out to open the box and took out the badge of the honorary police officer. "I suddenly realized that I still like wearing this police badge."
Justin didn't say anything else, he just took a cup from under the bar, poured himself a cup, and clinked glasses with Jimmy and took a sip together.
Jimmy held the badge and ran his thumb over it.
Justin: "Reluctant?"
Jimmy put the police badge back into the box and closed the box again. "It's a little bit, after all, it's been 2 years. Let's not talk about it anymore, Justin, cheers."
Jimmy finished the wine in the glass, took the bottle over and poured the wine himself.
Jimmy: "Justin, I may not be able to cooperate with you in the future. Next year I will go to the academy to train for half a year. I don't know where I will be assigned later. I probably won't come back to Little Rock."
Justin: "Well, it doesn't matter. It's not like we won't see each other again. Just keep the card. It will be useful in other places."
[To be honest, I have been using @@ recently to read and catch up on updates. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
Jimmy: "Do people in other cities recognize it too?"
Justin: "Yes, after all, we are all partners. If anything happens, you can contact me. Don't worry, it won't be any different from before."
Jimmy: "Thanks."
