There is no way anyone in ABT management would ever tell you that! We don’t want people doing any type of police work in fact we are probably one step away from no longer putting lights in our take homes so there’s no way someone here told you that.

Telecommute is a privilege granted only to non sworn IS II positions. It allows non sworn to have a take home car and theoretically they start and end their day somewhere other than the office.
