My husband will be leaving Patrol to join the Crime Scene Unit in his department. I know it isn't like on TV, but I just keep thinking about all of the horrible things that these investigators see on a daily basis. At least with Patrol, there were good days or good scenarios that occurred - like saving someone's life or helping someone. I'm worried about how to offer support to my husband if all he ever sees is the "bad stuff" as a crime scene investigator. Any suggestions?

As a 23 year patrol officer/Sergeant/Commander - he will see less most likely as an investigator than he did as a patrol officer. Case loads are smaller for most investigators on most departments - they see far fewer calls and the actual scene than patrol officers do. Remember - before an investigator gets there - a patrol officer had to of been there first!

DANBOSPD is right on. Your husband won't see anything worse in crime scene than he's already seen on the road, and when he gets there the emergency will be over. He won't have to worry about dealing with the subjects because they don't bring crime scene out until the scene is secure. And remember, he'll be responding to more than just homicides, so he won't be overwhelmed with bad scenes. Just support him as you do now, and both of you will be fine.

WHEN YOU WORK A CRIME SCENE, YOU GO AFTER THE PERPETRATOR(S).
IT IS A LOT OF WORK, BUT WHEN YOU GET A REALLY GRUESOME SCENE, YOU WANT TO FIND THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE EVEN MORE.
THE JOB IS MORE ENJOYABLE THEN PATROL BECAUSE OF THE CONTACTS AND INFORMANTS YOU BUILD. YOU GET TO BE THE ONE WHO ARRESTS THE BAD GUYS.
YOU BUILD EACH CASE WITH A GROUP OF DETECTIVES WORKING TOGETHER FOR LEADS.

Keep doing whatever you were doing while he was in patrol. Be a good listener.

(((Jack))) You city has the main issues. I undergo in innovations a number of months in the past it grow to be rabbits (or in all risk squirrels) that have been working rampant and inflicting plenty destruction. concern no longer! there is wish on your honest city! As a mom of three little ones, I actual have dealt with the variety of revolt before. the answer interior reason easy, if performed interior the suited order. First you may desire to organize a sit down down with them. each toddler could desire to be in attendance! it rather is had to the plan. make useful that it quite is timed approximately 40 5 minutes to an hour after lunch. this could be certain that their bellies are finished, and that they are going to be greater compliant. make useful that the room is conveniently heat yet no longer warm! in the process the sit down down, approximately quarter-hour in in all risk, you may desire to start to play lullabies. (of course you will could desire to have the sound kit put in before hand for this to artwork) they could withstand this on the beginning up, yet decrease the lighting fixtures and stand enterprise. do no longer enable them to scare you off! finished bellies, blended with a heat room, and a chilled lullaby is greater advantageous than even the main hardened toddler can stand for a number of minutes. they'll start to nap. WAIT to make useful they are completely SLEEP! i'm no longer able to rigidity how considerable it rather is. pass one toddler before he/she is out and the finished plan is ruined! whilst they are all asleep heavily pass each toddler into suited transporting kit and characteristic them shipped a number of toddler boot camps around the rustic. be certain which you have not to any extent further than one million toddler at each camp. in case you enable touch between them, yet another revolt is specific to ensue. everyday turn around for the boot camp rehab is approximately 6 weeks. After this, they could desire to be usual, drooling, fuzzy toddlers, devoid of mob association in any respect. sturdy success!

Pray.
Try to remain optomistic that God will hold his life in the palm of his hand so he can return to you safely.
