To those who have seen it, do you find the Reno911 offensive ?

**Big Sexy** · 10-15-10 10:57 AM

No.

Hell, I can identify just about every character on it with someone I used to work with.

I find Reno911 Entertaining and Hysterical.

My favorite was when Garcia (I think) was called to put down a dog. The guy said the dog was dying and asked the deputy to put it out of it's misery. As soon as he shot it, the lady comes out screaming that he shot her dog! The guy yelled at the lady "I told you to make him stop barking!" and ran off.

I could just picture some guy on my dept doing that.......

Haven't seen it in years, but it was really funny when it first came out. Offensive? No. Closer to reality than a lot of "cop shows?" Absolutely!

It's a funny and entertaining comedy.
My departments looking into the viability of Lt. Dangle type uniform shorts.

A lot of that show is typical police work.

During a rather serious meeting at our department I asked our chief to authorize "Lt. Dangle shorts" as an alternative uniform for officers working a detail at the state fair. I told them I'd even be willing to model them for the uniform committee.

Let's just say that we got to wear dark blue uniforms in 115 degree heat....no shorts.

I agree. There have been a bunch of times that I swear they copy suspects on the show from actual people who live in my town. I remember saying once when I watched a Reno 911 episode "I know that guy, he hangs out at Stockton and Lawrence". I frequently run into people who are way crazier and kookier than anyone who was ever on Reno 911.

I think all departments should show potential recruits atleast one season of the show to give an inside look into a day in the life of a LEO. Maybe even bring it into the Academy for training purposes. As a matter of fact, I remember watching some clips of different episodes in class when we had some extra time. Like the DWI stop that ends in the blonde deputy giving dancing lessons on the side of the rode.
