Smashwords – Recollections of a Small Town Cop – a book by John White

I'd come back to a smiling boy with a bowl of ice cream and the streets would be a little safer. There were so many great people in that town," said Kolodziechuk. None the less, Kolodziechuk had a job to do, often to the displeasure of local teens showing off on the busy streets. Of course, this inevitably led to handing out traffic tickets, which the youth weren't too enthused about," recalled Kolodziechuk.

Though they had their disagreements, even those he had been forced to penalize or ticket were quick to come together and offer aid when it was needed.

More titles to consider

The weather was too bad to do patrol that night; the cruiser was parked in my driveway. I happened to hear my dog barking outside, so I headed out to see what the fuss was about. Here there were three local young lads, all three of which I'd given traffic tickets to, maybe more than once, standing at my door. I was a little concerned for a moment, but it turned out they were worried that I might get a call and not be able to make it out, so they showed up shovels in hand to dig out the patrol car.

The next day, the sun was shining and I was back to giving them trouble for fooling around, but I will never forget that night. Where else but a small town would you see that? Though the job of Police Chief is often a somber one, Kolodziechuk had a few experiences that were far less serious, but perhaps just as memorable. One phone call in particular I will never forget. The owner called me and said I needed to get over there right away. I get down there and lo and behold, this one gentleman had ridden into town on his horse, and rode the animal right into the hotel and parked it up at the bar.

So this guy is just standing there waiting for a beer like there's nothing out of place. I was able to get him and his horse out of there without too much trouble, and we all had quite a laugh after he left; that's something you're only likely to see once in your life," laughed Kolodziechuk of the unique incident.

Along with the day-to-day mischief and small crimes, the tiny police force handled their fair share of excitement as well. Kolodziechuk remembers labour disputes and riots at the local plant now Ingredion , major accidents in the canal, and even a murderer showing up at his door on a Sunday evening to confess in his livingroom.
