I always thought of it as a low boot, but Dictionay.com has a different view:<br />
<br />
bro·gan /ˈbroʊgən/[broh-guhn]<br />
–noun<br />
a heavy, sturdy shoe, esp. an ankle-high work shoe.<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
[Origin: < Ir brógán, dim. of bróg shoe; see brogue2]<br />

thanks so much!<br />
I just copied it in my "cop stuff" file.<br />
Great advice and from one who knows.<br />
I was always afraid to fictionalize anything about procedure--but I suppose I can sometimes, althoughI'd rather have it basically true to life.<br />
I see what you mean about jurisdiction.<br />
You've helped me lot, Felicia!<br />
cheers,<br />

Carole, technically he is off-duty and out of jurisdiction so no, he would not be able to work the case. As a professional courtesy, the local authorities might give him some info, but for him to actually attempt to work it would ruffle feathers resulting in phone calls between Chiefs. That's the reality answer but it's fiction, so you have lots of latitutde.<br />

For the record, jurisdiction rules when it comes to who can work a case. The rule of thumb is wherever the crime was committed - that's the investigating jurisdiction. We get calls all the time at my PD from victims who want to report crimes that occurred in other cities and they are gently redirected because we have no jurisdiction.<br />

"Aw shucks," he said as he pawed the ground with his right scuffed brogan and rolled his head down as if looking behind his left.
