Monk Finds Out Who Killed The Employee Of The Month | Monk

[@patryjo455]

I think Joe must have been a great partner to Monk, he seems very nice and not judgemental to Monk's fearness. I felt bad that nobody believed him that he was innocent and almost had his career ruined but at least he was reinstated.

[@vctrsigma]

It wouldn't be overloaded as they had likely finished the tunnel and/or wouldn't have needed to cart away any more dirt. But the cops would have been plenty close enough to chase. The robbery was actually dependent on driving off quietly. It would take time to follow the tunnel back to the parking spot and then check cameras/witnesses to identify the vehicle. Was jenny a fake identity? because the store employee-of-the-month would have tied the vehicle to her even if everything else had been fraudlent.

Before being issued a firearm and put on post, I had to I had to graduate the 180 hour OPATA (Ohio Peace Officers Training Academy) course and be certified to not only work security but also to carry a firearm.
