Haiku Case Reporting

We were forwarded a letter recently. Evidently, a district has been having some sort of contest where the officers attempt to write an entire case report in the traditional 5-7-5 syllable poem known as Haiku. No word on what the winner gets, but there are some amusing coppers out there. A few of the better ones:
  • Classification Lesson
    Three shots to the head.
    No witnesses found yet. Death
    investigation.
  • Quiet
    Listen! Hear it now?
    Silence. Golden. Unnatural
    The Bulls must be on.
  • Curfew Lament
    Curfews, where are you?
    Yuppies don't have kids, you fool!
    Telephone book time.
  • Domestic #2
    There's no sign of theft
    Told him not to eat my food
    Stab! Stab! I warned him.
It's not as easy as it looks. Try wrapping up a homicide investigation this way. You'll be at it for days.

One time I heard of a distirct having a contest. The object was to try and return to service using only 19-P

I guess the thing lasted like 2 months until someone tried to 19-P a homicide

You guys are hysterical

My favorite contest was when the D/C was messing with us some years ago. We decided to each take a couple of screws out of things in the station, IE Bathroom stalls, doors, windows, etc. This included things in his office.

Um, turtle lips, it's actually 5-7-5. The most famous of all haiku translates as follows...Old pond, frog jumps in, water sound. It's much more profound in Japanese.

So stick to what you know...gay porn!
