Billy PoirierBetween the Badge and YouA typical workday for a patrol officer at the Sherbrooke Police Service is above all characterized by its dynamic and unpredictable nature. Even before this meeting, an officer may be called out immediately without having had the chance to see their colleagues. Whether it is a very hot and festive day or a snowy storm day, the nature of daily activities and calls can vary greatly depending on the overall atmosphere. Throughout the day, calls from dispatch set the pace of the work. Each intervention requires sound judgment, as the officer must quickly understand the situation, assess the risks, and act appropriately.
