Colt Cassidy's PD Meeting - 05/26/25

  • Colt started off by saying while he was planning to retire, he no longer had that choice due to the actions of the PD
  • He was tired of the pettiness between officers and superhero-behaviors
  • He made it clear the the "Us Vs Them" mentality was over
  • The PD is to protect and serve the people as their oath states
  • Colt pointed out that while there have been many great hires, there are bad officers who are ruining it for them
  • Colt made it clear that any cops who are against the vision of the PD will be fired
  • The good officers would get better recognition from the NCOs and Command
  • The 'boys club' and cliquey behavior needed to come to an end
  • The backstabbing of other officers was no longer tolerated and would be fireable
  • Colt made it clear that win-chasing was not tolerated, but neither was rolling over for criminals
  • Colt understood that there were officers that believed they were supposed to just 'roll over' for criminals or did it to avoid conflict
  • Colt wanted the focus for PD to be to interact with others and be good sportsmen
  • This included things like not pitting over speed limits and shooting tires for no reason
  • Colt stressed that being an officer meant preserving and protecting life
  • Cops should not be acting like gang members, they should act like the shield they wear

Changes coming to PD

  • The State Troopers would be fully implemented into the PD
  • They would be comprised of the officers who know what they are doing and know how to lead as officers
  • The Park Rangers would be comprised of officers looking for a lighter daily experience and would be less involved in investigations and bureaucracy
  • PD will be able to print paper warrants for raids and will be able to send an officer to physically lock-down locations prior to raids
  • PD will be able to freeze bank accounts and track phones for highly-wanted warrant holders as well
  • Colt made it clear that Mr K was the one who came up with the idea after the PD did practically nothing when he escaped from Prison
  • CCTV cameras would be implemented in highly-trafficked areas and would record footage when certain events take place
  • This includes places like MRPD, LSMC, and banks
  • Listening devices and wires would be able to be placed with warrants for investigations
  • NCO's and above will be able to use a bonus system to reward officers
  • Officers who make mistakes will receive Shots
  • Officers will be fined and sanctioned if they violate SOPs
  • Physical awards for PD will be implemented (as designed by Lane)
  • The SOP's were being reformatted and Colt was writing The Bible, a one-page cheat-sheet for quick reference that would be religiously updated
  • New procedures for business shut-downs and removals, transports, warrants, exigent circumstance raids, locking down properties, ATC guidelines and CID guidelines were all in the works
  • CID officers were not permitted to exclude regular officers from investigations, but instead should enable and oversee them
  • Academies and FTO training was being refined
  • Academy needed to do a better job of rooting out the officers who do not fit PD, which would help decrease FTO burnout
  • New PD vehicles were coming and classes were being removed
  • Colt mentioned around 10-15 vehicles getting added by mid July

  • New PD vehicles were coming and classes were being removed
  • Colt mentioned around 10-15 vehicles getting added by mid July
  • LeAnn told Grape not to leave Officer Finch's side, then angrily left the hospital
  • Tarts attended the autopsy of the other Killian Grey, who had the same name but different State ID to the real one
  • Bo woke up in ICU, coughing, barely breathing on his own, and in extreme pain
  • He said May and Grape's names, who reassured him they were there, before he passed out again
  • Bo woke up again, much more coherent May half-lied and said Killian's body was in the Morgue
  • Grape and May eventually told the truth
  • Bo called LeAnn into his room alone
  • Bo explained his side of the story of why he left PD so quickly
  • Bo checked his texts, confirming that he texted Lane "I'm going now"
  • LeAnn felt that Bo didn't think he did anything wrong, which led to LeAnn and Bo becoming more verbally hostile with each other
  • LeAnn said the Ass. Chief will discuss more with Bo when he arrived, then she left
  • Bo asked May for the timeline of events from PD's side
  • May told Bo she wasn't even listed to be on the team initially
  • Bo and Tarts spoke 1-on-1
  • Tarts expressed his concern that this was the 3rd or 4th time he had been the one to physically save Bo's life on a scene
  • Bo told Tarts he was considering resigning from CID Lead
  • Bo felt like he was out of options, that all his tricks had failed
  • LeAnn and Lane visited Bo
  • Lane ripped into Bo immediately, the two went back and forth arguing
  • Tarts shared the autopsy results, that the man who died had plastic surgery and veneers to become nearly identical to the real Killian
  • Lane and Bo both admitted they were in the wrong and had bad communication on both ends
  • Once Bo was ready, they needed to figure out a new plan of action, one that did not involve putting any trust in K or CG
