Cops Companion 24 - Loading up

"Yeah, I reckon we can get another bag in there, boy"

Some of the less scrupulous cops who found drugs in the searches,
confiscated them and sold them back to inmates in other wings of the jail.
To move the gear around the prison undetected
they picked out naive, young inmates to use as 'mules'
Using fake searches as a pretext to load up them up.

Cops Companion 23 - Prison Search

The cops weren't going to let the detained criminals
start business all over again inside the jail
On the spot drug searches were frequent and were carried out
to the same 4S specification, Stop, Strip, Search and Secure
(although the Strip part was usually minimal now).

The men were usually left secured too as a warning to others
A position that left them vulnerable to other prisoners
  frustrated by separation from their girlfriends
and enemies seeking satisfaction for long standing grudges.

Cops Companion 22 - Pause in proceedings

Suddenly the cops found they could pause for breath between arrests
They felt a new excitement at being on top of the Criminals
Everyone could see they meant business and kept out of their way
lest they be picked up treated like delinquents too.

Cops Companion 21 - Taken for punishment

Meanwhile, unsubstantiated but disturbing reports were coming out of the jail
Each day, a selection of prisoners were taken away for punishment
There were blood-curdling reports of what happened to them
and blurry photographs whose authenticity could not be established

Cops Companion 20 - Jogger arrested

Dawn Patrol in the City Park now became a popular shift.
Vagrants and homeless people sleeping out on the benches were left alone
and attention focussed instead on the abundance of athletic men
that were to be found there exercising before going to work,
blissfully unaware that jogging in the Park precincts
(especially in skimpy clothes)
had become a misdemeanour under the new stricter regime.

Cops Companion 19 - Seen by the Commissioner

"You knock before entering, punk!"

As numbers grew and conditions in the jail were began to deteriorate
certain inmates, having got over the initial shock of arrest and naked detention
demanded to see the man in charge to register their protest
Adam Beaubutt the first man arrested was the first to protest.

The Commissioner was always happy to see inmates in his office,
providing they were suitably dressed for him and they knocked before entering,
but Adam found he was subjected to the Commissioners theories on criminal reform
including practical demonstrations which were painful and embarrassing.

Cops Companion 18 - Mass collections

Arrests were now running at such high levels

that the arrested villains were being left, stripped and secured,
at designated collection points around the town,
to save Officers having to ferry them to the Station

Fortunately the weather smiled on the 4S sweep but nevertheless
these men were in a position of some vulnerability while they waited
and not only from mischievous and salacious passers-by,
since once they had been spotted word soon got around.

Eventually a police truck would arrive to pick them all up
The true villains amongst them (and there were a few)
 just had to hope that they'd be collected by the cops
before some aggrieved victim arrived to exact revenge

Usually their buddies and associates showed no desire to intervene
They weren't going to risk putting themselves in the sights of the cops.

Oi! You! Come and untie us!

The more audacious and hardened punks shouted at passers-by to set them free.
Their threats and intimidation had worked in the past,
but now citizens ignored them, no longer afraid
and glad they could go about their business unmolested.
Quite happy to see the thugs treated like garbage.
