Dude.
I mean, I get it: it's hard to see the numbers on some houses. Okay.
But... fer cryin' out loud, coppers, the odd numbers are on one side of the street and the even numbers are on the other! If Dispatch gives you an even-numbered street address, here's a hot tip: don't cross the street.
This. But to be fair, the quality of ossifers these days is pretty thin. It's not a real fun job. And the training is minimal. An acquaintance of mine is a cop in Taunton. He did X months at the "Academy" (giggle) and then a month or two - MAYBE of training on teh local force. Then they gave him a couple of guns, a car and a part of town to patrol. Learning things like how to read house #'s and such is not as important as getting someone's pronoun right.
