Officer Tardy ended his police career the way he began his police career…as a patrol officer. Because the primary responsibility of a patrol officer is to answer radio calls that come from 911 dispatch, on any given day there is a variety of calls they respond to. Some types of calls are easily managed while other calls require lots of paperwork. A seasoned patrol officer, such as Officer Tardy, can monitor the calls that are waiting to be dispatched to an officer for response and avoid the calls that require a lot of paperwork.
Its like a quarterback avoiding tackles as they run with the football. On a daily basis Officer Tardy gave a Heisman level performance in avoiding paperwork calls.
