When I was a kid, I watched Dragnet and Adam 12. They used to say the names were changed to protect the innocent. I didn't know what that meant. After thirty years of police work, I now know what they were saying. So, here's my disclaimer. These stories are fictional. I've changed names and combined people for things that happened based on true events (these things actually happened to me). Most are light hearted and funny but there are some that have harsh language and violent content. The stories in yellow have harsh language and the stories in red are violent so you know what you're getting into.
