Creative writing and sense of fair play for Cops

The set up:
A bunch of deputies go to a house in rural part of the county.
As they approach, they see the bad guy running out the back into an orchard and give chase.

In the report a deputy wrote:
"… I eventually lost site of Smith in the orchard due to his unfair head start and the foggy climate."

A little help with the entries

When a DPO or PO is mentioned in the entries below I am referring to Deputy Probation Officers... a misunderstood and under appreciated profession. Some stories have come from others in our law enforcement family, I will specify who within those individual entries.

In California a Presentence Investigation Report (PSI or PSR) is a report prepared by the Probation Department to get a full picture of the defendant, his/her social background, his/her prior criminal history, information about the current offense, whether the defendant would be a good candidate for a grant of probation, and finally ... this is the important part... a recommendation to the sentencing judge on what type of sentencing should occur. This report is required by California statute. The judges, and attorneys read these reports in preparation for sentencing and later if the defendant is sent to prison, a copy follows the defendant and goes in his file.
