BASIC BIOGRAPHY (At least four descriptive paragraphs): Born in Mercy Hospital, Miami, Will would grow up in a middle class family as the youngest child. His father was a middle manager for one of the city's many offices, and his mother worked in management for a department store. As a child Will would become interested in the Vice police scene, wanting to be a cop like one out of the old TV shows, however, at 8 years old, the terrorist attack on the twin towers would lead his older brother, Marcus, to join the Army, Will wanting to follow in his footsteps.

Two years later his family would be visited by two soldiers in Dress Blues, and informed of Marcus' death in action. Will would grow up wanting to join the military to honor his older brother, and in high school he worked join JROTC and start talking with recruiters. He graduated in 2011 and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, and would be trained as an infantry Marine. He would participate in Operation Enduring Freedom, taking two tours in Afghanistan, being wounded on his second tour by an IED. While he made a complete recovery, he would find himself being reassigned to a non-combat unit for the last year of his enlistment.

He would decline to reenlist, and return home to Florida. Still wanting to serve society, he would apply for a job as a highway patrol officer along Interstate 10, graduating the academy in the top 10% of his class. A year later his department would be shut down due to state budget cuts, and the duties handed over to the county sheriff's department. He would be reassigned to the New Anglia Police Department, where he found himself dealing with tourists and rarely anything more.

While still content with his job, he volunteered for the night shift thinking he would see more police work during the after hours. While not new to the department, many other officers have worked there long before him, giving Will the new-guy kind of feel. Despite this he has made friends with most other graveyard shifters, and doesn't go out of his way to cause trouble. He currently serves as the officer who usually remains at the station, opting not to patrol the streets and stand on standby instead for any calls that other patrol officers can't respond to.

Officer Polk is approved; so is Intern Summers. As for needed jobs, I have been fairly lenient, though we do need a dispatcher.

As for the IC, it is taking longer than I anticipated, primarily because I am foreshadowing the coming events with a scene aboard an ill-fated merchant ship.

I mean, Polk can be a dispatcher since he's chilling at the police station.

Florida may be different, but up here in Minnesota, small departments don't actually have 'their own' dispatcher. All police departments, sheriffs deputies, fire departments, and ambulance agencies are run through the same dispatchers who have their own building in a geographically central location. My county has one dispatcher station. Some other counties might be divided into two or three parts with each having their own dispatcher station.

When a call is made to 9-1-1 it goes to the dispatcher who calls the closest 'free' officer in the jurisdiction of the call over the radio. If no officer is free at the moment, it gets stacked as a 'call waiting' on their computer aided dispatch. If it's medical or fire, they do the same to paid fire and EMS personnel on shift, or they send out a member wide page if the agency is volunteer.

A department of 20 up here would typically have a chief, a maybe a couple lieutenants, shift seargeants, and patrol officers. They'd also have secretaries to handle case paperwork and mundane requests, interns to take care of non criminal ordinances if a tourist town, and maybe a k9 or two. They'd probably rely on the state or the county for any major investigative work, for sure if there was any forensic work to be done.

That's just what I've seen however, like anything police departments tend to vary by area. I have no idea what New Anglia, Florida departments look like, but I imagine it'd be somewhat similar but with more funding.

IC.

Keep the apps coming, guys. IC is starting off with a shift report, and then we can get underway. No need to post in a hurry; a lot of us have work and school, among other obligations, so I am not expecting immediate action every night. If only, we should keep this RP from stagnating and dying in its early stages.

Nice. I'll see if I can't get a post up tonight, got a nasty headache though.

Fantastic! Time to get to work then.

Also, if we're dealing with Arabian mythology and monsters, you've got the right person here. Maybe I should've made Martin a Dearborn or Toledo native instead...

Thanks pal. Took a few Ibuprofen so I should be fine soon enough.

[Hastur]

Man, that's some really spooky shit.

[Reverend Norv]

I'll get a post up shortly.

Since Ceann never finished the other detective app, maybe Saoirse Gallagher could tag along with Luther as a sort of detective-trainee, learning on the job? She has ambitions toward becoming a detective, after all, and it would keep Luther from haring off on his own all the time. Cy, Hastur, what do you think?

[Cylarn]

I have no objections.

That's the plan. Gonna be an awesome one with all the awesome peeps here.

Sure, I do it if Ceann or another detective doesn't suddenly shows up.

[Forest State]

IC looks good! I'll try for today or tomorrow for the post.

Liking the posts so far. Only hang-up is that Sal only tossed a bag into his office. He met with Flores in the conference room, which is all-glass as well. By the way, Flores - like all of the day shift officers - is wearing the brown and tan uniform underneath her windbreaker. Should give some contrast between the two shifts in terms of appearance.

Conference room. Got it. Will edit.

Me too. I'll also make a note of the Brown and Tans trickling out in my next post.

Post's up. Bit shorter than some, but hopefully it captures Sgt. Clark well enough.
