At least it was a short trip.

The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston has its own full-blown police department and vehicles, as many university facilities do. Although UTMB itself covers only about a quarter of a square mile, the university police patrol the adjacent parking lots and neighborhoods where many personnel live.

The UTMB campus also includes a TDCJ hospital facility. It's not unusual to see a patient shackled in a wheelchair.

accidents happen. the difference in police work is that if he is at fault, he will be disciplined up to termination.

That's true of most jobs.

I always wondered about pilots who ditch a $50 million aircraft. Do they get to walk away from that and keep their job?
