Jimmy was cooperating with an instructor for tactical training. They approached a designated house for their exercise, where Jimmy, following habit, went to the side of the front door, knocking while leaning against the wall, while the instructor stood in front of it.
Jimmy made a hand gesture to the instructor, signaling him to move to the other side of the door, but the instructor did not budge.
There was a piece of glass on the door, behind which a curtain was pulled aside slightly, and a woman looked out from inside.
"Hi, ma'am, FBI, please open the door," Jimmy said, revealing himself from the side, showing the FBI badge pinned on his left chest.
"May I have a look at your identification?" the woman asked without opening the door.
Jimmy took out an FBI credential holder from his pocket, often referred to as a wallet in the United States, and opened it to display a police badge above and an FBI agent's ID below.
"Click," the door opened.
Woman: "Is there a problem? Did I do something wrong?"
Jimmy: "Ma'am, I'm Special Agent Jimmy Yang with the FBI. We're not here for you, we're looking for Julio King. He's renting a room from you, correct?"
Woman: "Yes, he's upstairs."
Jimmy: "We have an arrest warrant for Julio, may we come in?"
Woman: "OK, he's upstairs."
Jimmy: "Thank you very much for your cooperation."
The woman stepped aside from the door, and Jimmy and the instructor entered, one in front of the other, ascending the stairs.
Jimmy kept his right hand on the handle of his gun, observing as he ascended the stairs, ensuring the safety of the corner above the staircase. Of course, this was just a formality; Jimmy had already noticed a person sitting on a bed in a room on the second floor.
The woman downstairs watched the two ascend, acting noticeably nervous, but Jimmy didn't notice.
There were only two rooms on the second floor; Jimmy first checked the room that was closer, finding no one, and then moved to the second room.
Jimmy saw Julio, who was sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard and reading a book. Jimmy, right hand on the gun handle, raised his left hand to signal Julio not to move.
Jimmy: "Julio, don't move. I'm Special Agent Jimmy Yang with the FBI. We have an arrest warrant for you. Raise your hands up high."
Julio obediently raised his hands.
Jimmy: "Now, get off the bed and stand up. Cuff him."
The instructor took out handcuffs from behind, approached, and twisted Julio's raised hands behind his back, securing them with the cuffs.
Jimmy also came over and conducted a quick frisk on Julio.
Jimmy: "I'll lead the way back, and you follow me with him."
Jimmy turned around to leave the room, arriving at the staircase. He tilted his head to inspect the situation downstairs; the woman was still standing at the base of the stairs looking up.
Jimmy checked the positions of the instructor and Julio behind him, then continued down the stairs.
Jimmy: "Ma'am, please step aside and let me see your hands," Jimmy said as he descended the stairs, his right hand never leaving the gun handle as he entered the house.
Seeing the woman move aside from the base of the stairs without any weapons in hand, Jimmy did not look back but merely extended his left hand in a motion to continue following to the instructor behind him, and made it to the door.
Jimmy and the instructor lead Julio out of the door, this time with the instructor in front, Jimmy following behind. Outside, the acting residents had already gathered around the trio, whispering among themselves, with some loudly questioning why they were taking someone into custody.
Jimmy extended his left hand to motion the surrounding residents to step back while gripping the handle of his gun on his waist, and shouted loudly, "Please step back, move back, do not interfere with our operation."
"Don't shout, step back, do not approach."
"Remain calm, do not approach, please step back."
When the instructor escorted Julio to the car, a senior agent outside used a loudspeaker to yell, "Stop, very good."
The instructor uncuffed Julio and then came over to Jimmy, shaking his hand, "Very well done, standard, professional. What did you use to do?"
Jimmy: "Assistant Sheriff in Plaskey County, Arkansas."
Instructor: "Congratulations, it went very successfully."
The instructor and Jimmy joined the spectators by the roadside, while other trainees continued with their assigned real-life scenarios.
This scenario was about an investigation of a bank robbery, where trainees had to interact with a witness to inquire about what he had seen during the robbery. The instructor led the questioning, while the trainee made notes with a notebook and pen, also observing the surroundings.
A car then arrived on the street in front of the house, leading to an argument with a pedestrian because the pedestrian didn't move out of the way in time. After a brief exchange, the driver got out carrying a hammer, continued arguing with the pedestrian, and then struck the pedestrian with the hammer, causing the pedestrian to fall to the ground.
The driver realized the pedestrian had fallen and then turned and fled, while the trainee and instructor at the door hadn't fully realized what had occurred; a homicide had taken place on the street, and the perpetrator had fled the scene.
As a result, the trainee's test failed.
The senior agent near the other trainees halted the previous trainee's exercise, addressing the others: "Listen carefully. When you're handling cases, you need to always be aware of your surroundings. If you see or hear something that would change the priority of your actions, that thing becomes more important and needs to be dealt with first."
"When the argument began by the roadside, you should have noticed them. After the driver got out and struck the pedestrian with the hammer, a serious assault occurred, which took precedence over the questioning you were conducting. However, you failed to pursue the perpetrator even as he fled. That was a severe mistake."
"This is Hogan Lane; these are just actors. If this had been an actual scene, the pedestrian would have died, and the driver, as a murder suspect, would have escaped, even right in front of two FBI agents. Can you imagine what would happen in such a situation?"
"Think it over, continue, next group."
Other trainees continued their training at that location, dealing with cases involving robbery, murder, kidnapping, etc.
Given the small number of trainees, each was essentially able to participate in two or three cases, and they would repeat such days numerous times.
Beyond simulated cases in town, Jimmy and his colleagues were also required to engage in tactical training, working with tactical support squads to practice CQB to ensure they could handle situations involving low-intensity conflicts. Here, 'low intensity' referred to situations involving armed gang members or a few armed adversaries; large-scale gunfights required reinforcement, even involving the National Guard.
