7 Times Police Officers Were Not Prepared For What They Saw In Someone’s Home
Article created by: Gabija Palšytė
It’s no secret that police officers encounter traumatic events on a daily basis. What we probably don’t realize is the scope of it all. While most citizens will potentially experience 3 to 4 traumatic events in their lifetime, each police officer is likely to witness between 400 and 600 of them in their career (20-25 years). This can cause damage to their physical and mental well-being—a price they often pay for serving and protecting others.To show what they really go through, we compiled a list of unsettling stories from times police officers had to carry out house searches. Scroll down to read them for yourself, and don’t forget to upvote those that unnerved you the most. This post may include affiliate links.

This may be a bit off the post. My friend is a police officer. They got a call one night from a 4 yr old that dad was hurt. When they got to said address the small child answered the door. As they head inside they hear a woman calling out "in here" .
They approach the bedroom to find mom tied to the bed dressed as scantily like Wonder Woman. Dad is knocked out cold as Super Man . Apparently Dad jumped on the bed forgot about the ceiling fan and knocked himself out cold.
My friend said it was the funniest ,craziest thing he ever saw. Woman had to scream to wake up the child to call the cops.

I used to volunteer with my local PD. Nothing will beat the old lady who passed away in her house and her little dog ate her face. Literally just the skin from the jaw line to the hair line and from ear to ear. It left the eyeballs in the sockets. Just a skeleton in a lady suit, doing the 1000 yard stare.

I'm not a cop but a paramedic. Went into a ladies house one time, can't remember what the call was for, that had sheets of paper taped all over the walls. They all said something along the lines of "remember the voices aren't real". Gave me a warm safe feeling.

My brother is a cop. He told me about this time when they responded to a work place accident where a railyard worker had been crushed between two railcars. The guy had been crushed/pressed into the ladder of one of the cars. They kept hearing voices coming from the body. Muffled voices but definitely coming from the body. It took them a while to figure out the worker had been carrying a radio. Needless to say they were a bit disturbed until they reached that conclusion.

A coat rack with a hat on. Clearing a dark house and seeing what could easily be a person standing motionless in the corner is not fun.

My dad was a state cop. Yeah, yeah, shut up, it counts.
He responded to a call in a rural area once. The couple involved were known repeat domestic violence/battery offenders. This time, the lady apparently had had enough, and either shot the guy in self defense, or shot him point blank.
When my dad entered the trailer, he told me he could see a trail of dark muck on the floor. Some spots were more splattered/thicker than others, but it was clearly a trail, as if something had been dragged. My dad and his partner followed the slick through the front room, where the man had been shot. It crept down the hallway and into the kitchen, where they saw the man himself. He had dragged himself, bleeding from the chest/stomach, through his house trying to reach a phone. He made it into the kitchen, where he managed to hook his chin onto a table. So his chin was still on the table top, and his body kind of drooped under him with his legs kicked out behind him.
