We are happy to announce the winner of this month’s contest - Undead Picasso! We were all impressed with his well thought out plan, the thoroughness of his details, and the creative thinking that went into his answer. If the zombie apocalypse ever happens, you can bet that Undead Picasso will come out as one of the survivors!

Once again, here is the winning entry:

I’m probably one of the few cops you’ll ever meet who love the zombie genre.
Survival during a zombie outbreak is a no-brainer…….our county jail is connected to our armory and property evidence building (Property Evidence actually has 8 times more firearms and ammunition than our armory - the bad guys are packing real heat). The jail complex is nicely tucked away one mile from the main roads and of course, is secured behind several sections of high, barbed wire perimeter fences (the rear and sides of the jail are also surrounded by lakes filled with actual alligators – yeah, I’m a cop in Florida….needless to say, our correction guys report no break outs).

Our jail has protected outdoor generators, a large vegetable garden (good prisoners get to work outdoors planting vegs), it’s own water supply/ filtration system, crazy dry food storage, a large infirmary, watch towers, and armored prisoner transport vehicles with gas pumps (just in case we ever need to get out of Dodge). Also, the surrounding area has a large deer population for possible hunting.

Unlike most, cops would be the first to hear about an initial outbreak (i.e. suspicious persons in the neighborhood, attempted burglaries in progress, riots, etc.). I’d be able to see first hand if the subjects’ exhibit signs of “zombie behavior” or other cops will most definitely report it on the radios. I’d first give a heads up to the wife so she could secure the home, prepare to vacate, and of course, arm herself. Since I live in the area I patrol, and if things appear totally FUBAR, I’d rush home, pick up the wife, and head to the county jail (I’d also attempt phone contact to family and friends with directions to the jail).

As far as the prisoners, they’d be released to go free and “help their families” (I’m sure they wouldn’t object). Those prisoners who don’t want to leave…..well, they’ll be escorted out. Any prisoners who return will most likely be turned away (with proper motivation from our watch towers). *Looters or Raiders would be greated with the same motivation*

Unlike most zombie books or movies, prisons or jails would not be abandoned….cops are not stupid….if a zombie outbreak were to get out of hand, the jails would be occupied by cops and their families (oh, and friends of the Zombie Reporting Center of course).

Be Safe, and always aim for the head
