My understanding is when a Stanford Police officer is on duty they contact Metcom to report they are available to take calls. Metcom keeps track of the hours and calls taken.
Note: ST1 is Chief Petrey
The record shows him working only on August 16th for 9.5+ hours.
This is Metcom’s record for the same time period – 8/12/16 through 8/25/16 – it shows ST1 had no police activity: (click to enlarge)

This is Petrey’s paycheck for the same time period: (click to enlarge)

How did Petrey patrol for 9.5 hours and get paid for 27 hours?
Lots of paperwork?

My friends from Hudson say the chief is never seen. that guy is full time. This must be a common thing.
Every story I write about Stanford gets TONS of reads. I wish somebody would explain! I’ve got more Stanford stories.
Well perhaps it is the reporter. Why not check into other locations like Bentown or Holder, maybe Covell?
Because I don’t have sources there. I not wasting time looking for things, I’ve got tons of stuff I don’t have time to write about now.
