Unexpected Situation
Officer Jeff Colvin had worked in Kansas City for a considerable amount of time, and as a result, he was quite accustomed to the routine of conducting patrols throughout the city’s many different neighborhoods. He was also quite familiar with the routine of responding to calls for service in the city. As a consequence, he was aware of the kinds of things he ought to have anticipated from the surrounding area.
Colvin was required to keep a heightened state of awareness while he was on patrol because the neighborhood in which he worked had a well-deserved reputation for having a high rate of criminal activity and questionable business dealings. It was impossible to guess what kind of unanticipated circumstances he might find himself in at any given time.
