I have placed a 9-1-1 call to the grammar police.

Then you'll get in trouble for false reporting!

"Officer's" is the correct contraction of Officer + is.

It may be “correct” but I still think it’s poor grammar. Why don’t we just get rid of the word “is” altogether and just always use the contraction?
