I was not always a food delivery person with UBER. At one time I had a brilliant career with a Canadian Major Police Agency. MY BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT:
I was a Corporal working Commercial Crimes in the 2002. The Head of our Department, put out a bulletin that had been sent to all police agencies across Canada about a suspect who had a Canada Wide Warrant. Suspect was on Canada Most Wanted list for numerous frauds against Canada Post. He was altering Canada Post Money Orders. He would purchase a Canada Post money order for tiny_mce_markernbsp; 5.00, then he would alter the money order making it look like a $ 95.00 money order. He would then go to a local bank and cash the money order for $ 95.00. This went on for a very long time and did not alarm law enforcement agencies because the amount of fraud in each case was very low. Agencies did not have time to investigate $90.00 frauds. But when hundreds of these frauds were eventually reported by Canada Post, police agencies started taking it serious. Suspect did not stay in one place. Eventually these Crimes were reported in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, and various other cities in Canada. Soon almost every major police agency in Canada was looking for this suspect. Photos from the banks were sent of the suspect. So we even knew what the he looked like.
I didn't pay much attention to the bulletin that came to our department because I had other files I was working on and so far we had no reports in our city and even if we did the odds of catching this suspect were so slim, since he seemed to be moving across Canada. By the time any police service would get the report of fraud that happened in their city the suspect was already gone to another city.
One day in 2002, at the end of my shift, I locked my badge and gun in my deck drawer, and was on my way out of the office to go home. The manager of my unit, stopped me and asked that I stop by the bank and pick up a video the bank manager had of the suspect, who had been in earlier cashing one of the $95.00 Canada Post Money Orders. So on my way home, I stopped at the bank asked for the manager. She approached me and when I asked for the video she responded "HE'S HERE RIGHT NOW". He had returned to cash another money order. I was standing in the bank, looking at this suspect who was being sought by every police agency in Canada (Canada Wide Warrant), and I was alone, no gun, no badge, no radio to call for assistance. I had no time to wait and request the manager call in or wait for back up - he was heading for the door. I quickly approached the suspect, verbally identified myself as a police officer and advised the suspect he was under arrest. Knowing that I had no back up, I said "if you are going to fight, lets get it over with right now". He said no. I led the suspect (no handcuffs), to my personal little K Car, put him in the front seat and made him put the seat belt on. Then drove to the sally port of out police office. I escorted the suspect into our detention unit and finally knew WE GOT HIM! I called my manager, and told him to come down to cells. He said what do you have there Henry - are you playing some kind of prank? I was kind of known as a prankster. He did come down and when he saw the suspect sitting on the bench, his eyes nearly bulged out of his head. LOL.
True story. I have a copy of the file at home.
