Devious Diesel For Hire: Episode 30: Police Officer

Storyline

• Devious Diesel has been repeatedly fired (29 times) and decides to finally get a job as a police officer.
• He goes to the police station, answers qualification questions (high school diploma, bachelor’s degree), and is told he must attend the police academy for a couple of days.
• After graduating, he’s assigned “cop duty” with other officers: go outside, patrol, and return after 7pm.
• During his first day, Devious Diesel repeatedly fails to enforce the law properly, mainly because he either lets criminals go or arrests for inappropriate reasons.
• By the end of the shift, other officers reveal they have been watching him secretly. They conclude he is not worthy of being a cop and force him to remove his police clothes and leave.

Gameplay / Key Events & Highlights

Hiring / Qualification Sequence

• Applicants must meet education requirements and complete the police academy before becoming an officer.

Patrol Assignment

• Officers are sent out to handle crimes.
• Devious Diesel claims it’s boring—until something happens.

Bank Robbers Check

• Officers spot two robbers with a bag of money and confront them.
• Devious Diesel doesn’t arrest them despite clear evidence of wrongdoing:
  • The money is connected to a bank robbery.
  • The car is also suspected to be purchased with stolen money.
• He ultimately lets them go, rationalizing that he still “cares” about money.

Confrontation / Escape

• A teen is targeted for something trivial/incorrect.
• Devious Diesel attempts to arrest the teen for chewing gum.
• The situation escalates into a chase, and the teen escapes.

Harassment/Abuse Case

• Devious Diesel later deals with a repeat offender associated with racial slurs and homophobic/insulting language.
• The offender is combative and attempts to resist arrest.
• Devious Diesel’s approach results in confusion/lockup consequences.

Shift Evaluation

• Back at the station/cell context, officers review Devious Diesel’s performance.
• They cite major failures:
  • Letting robbers go after a bank robbery involving stolen money.
  • Trying to arrest a teen for chewing gum (unreasonable and ineffective).
• The only “good” outcome mentioned is that he helped get one named person (“Boris the teeth guy”) arrested.

Final Outcome

• Devious Diesel is told he’s not worthy and must take off his cop clothes.

Strategies / Key Tips Mentioned (Implicit in the Policing Test)

• Arrests should be based on clear wrongdoing, not personal feelings about money or irrelevant “offenses.”
• Don’t let evident robbers go—this undermines the entire job test.
• Avoid ridiculous or improper arrests (the chewing gum arrest is treated as a major failure).
• Effective policing depends on following procedures and handling suspects appropriately—Devious Diesel’s decisions cost him the job.
