Drowning Barbie (2014)
““Just the ones who would be able to drop whatever they are doing and come in. I don’t want to leave Picketsville unattended.” Unlike its big-city contemporaries, Picketsville did not have a scheduled roll call before each shift change. The uniforms dispersed to assume the duties posted for them as they arrived and checked in with the dispatcher individually. Ike would talk to them if he needed to and if he happened to be on station at the time. That didn’t happen often since he is a determined “night person.” He trusted his people and, in turn, they did all they could to confirm it. Ike had been criticized by at least one accrediting agency for this lack of order and his ignorance of conventional procedure, but since his closure rate for major crimes approached one hundred percent, because he was elected, not appointed, and because Picketsville’s citizens generally approved of his performance, nothing ever came of it. Today, however, he wished he’d put the roll call practice in place.
