A woman called police at 1:27 p.m. Wednesday, June 23, from the 2000 block of Krohn Road because she wanted an officer to call her ex, who lives at the house, and tell him to “come home and open a shed so she can get some things before she leaves for the weekend.”

Tracy police received 180j calls for service on Wednesday, June 23. The following is a sample of those calls.

Tamarah,

if indeed that is the case...of course I'm in favor (especially being a woman myself)...however, the way it reads...it sounds like she's trying to get the officers to get the husband to come home and open the shed because he won't do it for her. Our police are here to protect and serve but not to just serve! :-)

you could be right, but it seems that the dispatcher would include something in the log to indicate that there was a domestic dispute...the way it reads, I should call the TPD if I lock myself out of my house and don't want to wait for a locksmith!

"newtotracy "

My family has had to be escorted by police to retrieve our things from our house so the man of the house wouldn't attack us. Many women have to ask police to protect them against men in their homes. It's just as valid a reason for police services as any, and I will always applaud police departments for helping women find shelters and peace. Now, if you want to charge a battered woman $300 for her and her kids' safety... I guess we'll just agree to disagree.

['Plans for the weekend' also included..]

Meet with hubby for key to the shed.

Remove the usual items like;

A pick, axe, shovel, bags of concrete, chain saw, rope and duct tape, then say "goodbye" to hubby and finish-up a tidy bit of gardening...

sounds like a PERFECT example of someone who should pay the entire cost of that 911 call...the dispatcher, the officer who responded...everything! that way we don't have to worry about these stupid $300 charges coming back to haunt us for having a heart attack...we could never think of them again!!!
