Washington subject has been entered on NCIS system if located do not arrest based solely on
this information I've been here for just about seven years and uh it's a very busy place and
it has a a way of grinding people down after a while just because of the volume of calls and we're always facing a man
power shortage which is very common to most police forces so I did there's always something
different just when you think you've seen it all in other words in this area you always see something new
the file we're going on right now is uh the complaint is actually in the U.S Police Department they've reported that
somebody has jumped off or gone off the patella Bridge a little bit whether a person is still on the bridge
or is about to go off the bridge at this time if the person is calling for assistance we're heading
