KP: The way of the Badge

[Ezbok58a]

My newest story, Just finished chapter 1.

Clears my head on numerous ideas I had.

This is in no way related to recon228s story.

Local and State police forces do not deal with the same situations, which is why they are on the Colorado State Police and not their local force, different situations.

That and everyone enjoys a good police chase

www.fanfiction.net/s/2611817/1/

Summary: Kim and Ron have been forced out of Saving the world after a
mission goes horribly wrong. They still want to help people,and do good
for the community so they go join the Colorado State Police.

Excellent.

I really liked this story, and didn't notice any major flaws upon the first reading. I look forward to seeing where you go from here.

[Ezbok58a]

Thanks,

I plan on finishin ch 2 this week, it will explain exactly what happened to Kim and Ron involving missions, as well as Rufus.
Then it will be their search for another helping job before they get to the state police.

[jmt2005791]

wow good start to the story. this could get really good. looking forward to future installments

[Ezbok58a]

Chapter 2 is coming along, should be finished with it tomorrow night.

[Ezbok58a]

Scratch the above, here is chapter 2.

www.fanfiction.net/s/2611817/2/

Chapter 3 I will start on tomorrow night.

[taechunsa]

Good chapter.

Wow, did Drakken and Shego ever step it up a notch. I can't believe that they killed Rufus. I hope that they rot.

I can't wait for the next chapter, but don't forget about Horrors of War. I can't wait for that next chapter either.

[jmt2005791]

good chapter i am sadden sbout the loss of rufus ron and kim were in the fight for their lives and still won. i can't wait for the rest to come out

[Ezbok58a]

I did not forget about the horrors of war, I just needed to get this one out of my head first.

I actually watched some reference material for the next chapter of Horrors of War (Apocalypse Now) so it should be up hopefully by the end of this week.

And the shocking twist will come in this story too.

Friends will become mortal enemies, and there will be Bad blood between K/R and a orginization, Guess which.

[Ezbok58a]

Old, yes.

But now Horrors of War is completed I need to pick this back up and perform my frankenstein on it.

Should have another chapter on this by the end of the week.

[Ezbok58a]

Told you I'd bring this back to life

Chapter 3, for those that are still interested, and even if you're not, look anyway.

As a Colorado State Trooper with three years on the job, I just wanted to point-out a few things about your story so far:

- you don't have to be a saint to become a cop, but the Colorado State Patrol would never take Kim and Ron after essentially being fired by Global Justice and blamed for the deaths of several people. In fact, I don't know of any agency that would take them after that, even if it wasn't really their fault.

- Kim and Ron being a couple and working together would be a serious officer safety issue and a violation of department policy. in the CSP, a trooper's spouse can't even work as a dispatcher because of the conflict of interest.

- Kim and Ron wouldn't be sent out alone on their first day. after we graduate from our 22 week State Patrol Academy, we're assigned to a district, paired with a Field Training Sergeant, and required to complete an additional 10 week Field Training Program. only then are we allowed to head out on our own.

- this is very similar to recon228's Thin Blue Line fanfiction. there are some minor differences, but overall it feels like I'm reading the same storyline. of course recon doesn't hold any kind of patent on the KP/cop genre of fanfiction, so that really doesn't matter.

Since you're not a police officer, I really didn't expect you to have all the facts correct. i just pointed those things out as an FYI. if you plan on recounting Team Possible's academy days, you may find this website useful: csp.state.co.us/academy/51ScBk01.htm.

Still, you're a much better writer than I am.

The same is true over here in California...

When I used to work up in Mendocino County, my wife was a dispatcher for the Sheriff's Department (Whom we contract communications services from). Whenever we were both working at the same time, she was actually prohibited from dispatching on the channel we used; she also wasn't allowed to send messages to my MDC unless there was an urgent need. Now she's still dispatching in the same county as me, but my department has its own communications division.

I hear New Orleans PD is hiring... they may be willing to overlook a few spotty records. As long as they mark 'no' on the "If a hurricane hits and buries the city in water, would you take one of our cars and flee to Kansas?" question, they may have a shot. ;D

One thing I wonder, and I'll probably bring up in it's own thread, since it's going to be heavily involved with a fanfic I'm thinking of doing is-- would it be a good idea for global justice to try and deep six Kim? They certainly wouldn't be overly respected, given that they have needed Kim for a ton of their operations. (Imagine the scene at a diner with CIA, NSA, FSB and GJ-- GJ is probably the only one who has to make certain their best agent is in by curfew).
There's also the fact that Kim is owed big favors-- just going off the top of my head we have seen U.S. airborne (and possibly delta force), major Japanese Businessmen, A good chunk of hte planet after STD, A variety of U.S. covert agencies, probably including No Such Agency (NSA) and likely their foreign equivelents.
So would it be wise to dump them so dramatically? Kim could easily stroll on over to the Russian, Japanese, or Chinese counterpart of GJ and get a job (and they certainly wouldn't mind collateral damage), or call in some of those favors from the competing agencies in the U.S. who if office politics are the same, would love to emberass GJ (Dr. Director, we know you fired Kim Possible. She's working for us now. By the way, she's lead on this investigation so you give her every cooperation).
Alternately, if she wanted to do a samson in the Temple, calling a news conference and daring GJ to arrest her would put them in an extreme no win situation-- again, even if they argue KP screwed up, the natural response is going to be: And you did much better?
Yo udon't have to go that route for a story, of course, because the KPverse has a fair number of "soft realities" about it, but it is an interesting thought-- it's not what you know, but who you know, and KP...well she evidently knows an awful lot of very, very powerful people.
(this came up when I was thinking of a story in which something similar happens to KP and she becomes so infuriated by it that she renounces her U.S. citizenship and leaves the nation. Not certain of who she joins up with-- thinking of either the PRC, UK or Israel.

One possible idea you might use-- perhaps the reason the "Fired by" and blamed for isn't coming up is Kim and Ron called in some favors, or those in the know decided that GJ was simply covering thier own tails-- and thus let it be known that such an accusation was not to become public knowledge. A finding by the AG of the United States that they were *not* at fault would go far to neutralizing anything GJ might say.

Finally a actual CSP officer responds! Before I even started this story I was trying to find the exact calls and codes they used for, but my Crown Victoria Companions didn't have a clue.

The Kim, Ron partners thing I know would never happen in law enforcement but I felt it was easier to write the story with them together than seperated. You are correct that I'm not experienced with Police Officers, but Both of my Uncles and Grandfather were NYPD officers for about 15 years before they retired, but City calls and State Police calls are alittle different. I'm trying to be authentic, but still give it a KP feel.

Kim and Ron were not Fired from Global Justice, they were never a real part of GJ, they just assisted them every once in a while. So they are prohibited from any future attemps to save the world and all their favors and connections have been severed. All that is known of them is that they were barred from saving the world because they did something Global Justice didn't like.

It might still be a long shot for them to be hired by any agency anyway but hey, never know.

I just hope that when the next chapter goes up that I'm really not ripped a new one because I am going to basically be calling Middleton PD inept and lackadasical as far as law enforcement goes.

(Warrant searches on the wrong house, Assistance calls to donut shops, leaving of service pistols in public rest rooms, and other know officer slip ups will be part of that chapter)

Thanks for the replies so far, and I am going to check that link out, as I may dabble into some of their officer training when they get accepted to Colorado State Police.

Thanks guys!

Just don't go too overboard. unfortunately there are some inempt departments out there, but too much and they'll start to resemble The Simpson's Springfield PD.

[Ezbok58a]

Thanks again for the call signs.

I don't plan on going too over board with Middletons problems. Mostly Kim and Ron will be pared up with cops who are hard cases, and those who treat their job like a joke.

The main inaccuracies that have been pointed out to me on the other sites I go to are that Kim and Ron are in one car (someone said CSP usually has one trooper per car) and the Shotgun placement in the first chapter. (Believe they are actually mounted between the seats and not attactched to the dashboard)

I will try my best to get this as accurate as I can and still try and keep it sounding KPish.

Yeah, sometimes we pair-up for special details, but on patrol we're solo. the shotgun is also mounted between the seats as the others have pointed out.

[Ezbok58a]

I figured that initally, but I always loved how the shotgun was mounted to the dashboard, which was very intimidating.

Didn't know you guys paired up on special assignments, good to know as I might use that later on.

Unfortunately, the dash-mounted gun locks were also extremely dangerous to officers if they were in a collision. We studied several cases in the academy that involved officers in the passenger seat being impaled by their shotguns and rifles. Because of that, most departments now mount them either between the front seats, above their heads, or in the trunk.
