I like to go out. I rarely take the desk if I dont have to.

Taketheday · Guru

Desk is always annoying but after a while, you just get more used to it, but it still sucks

Just start training your TS to do things instead of being on Instagram all the time.

I was told at first it's alot but as time goes it gets easier. Also depends what tour you do and how well you manage your work.dont worry u will b fine

It also depends on where you work and what tour you work. Most busy commands usually have an ADO that helps a lot. 4x12 desk is the worst if you are in a busy pct.

As a cop i learned and did a ton of shit on the TS. As a boss you should be training and giving your TS direction.

Never did TS as a cop so this was all brand new for me. If I had to do everything myself I wouldnt have time to take a piss.
