I worked car 33 on Alpha shift, Officer Wingo took my car for the Bravo shift. I was dispatched to that call at shifts end. The Lt cancelled me and advised dispatch to hold the call for day shift. Something you carry with you forever. Would I have handled things differently for better results. Officer Wingo was a mentor to many of us rookies, way before Field Training was a thing.
