Stress causes normally stable people to act in strange ways. I was intent on shooting an assailant who was after me with a fence post about 15 years ago. I was confident enough to scan the area for potential bystanders and backstops. I can draw my Colt 1911 from my security holster and fire 2...

Killing a kid sucks. Getting killed by a kid sucks out loud. Ask the officers family if he should have taken the risk. I already know the answer.

Our policy used to ban spouses from riding. The admin was concerned about hanky panky on the job. Turns out that allowing the spouse to experience the stress first hand actually reduces some domestic disputes between the officer and their other half but I do get your meaning. :) For the most...

Got it. Thanks. Nice to know they'll use civvies. Over here we are too snobbish. :(

I've only worked one EDD. All searches were done on the lead. When SCT and I had set up a U.S. based K9 import business we brought in some Springer Spaniel EDDs from England that were trained to free roam. As an EDD handler I found it fascinating. I thought you guys were already doing that AES...

We do full background checks on potential ride along candidates. We also only allow them to be with us for about 4 hours at a time. The police chief gives the final okay. Most people that ride are those interested in becoming cops, media, or people working on college thesis. Every now and then...

I have two co-workers who went to Kosovo to be detectives under the supervision of the UN. Both are very pro active in their job. They were told to stand down on just about every major investigation they started. In the end they played video games for 3 years because they werent allowed to do...

The left wingers here wanted to follow the UN ban on guns. We made em stuff it. Screw the UN and their global policing idealogy. All they really are is a global bank to dole out cash to the undeserved. JMO of course.

Keep up with the current events please. :) The so called "gentle giant" was actually IN the patrol car beating on the officer when he got shot. There is forensic proof. If the officer is indicted it will be a travesty. Gun sales are naturally going to go up because people remember how...

I find it interesting that you proudly announce "Mr. Dobbs" as your kennel master and team group member then instantly turn around and dispose of him when faced with the question of his real identity by a knowing forum member. Very suspect IMO. If he was in the custody of U.S. DHS then why...

May that POS rot in hell. God speed to the officer.

OK, you have to send me one to demo at our department. Our K9 guys could definately use them as will other night shift officers. We have an equipment budget for our various emergency services that, if not used, gets recycled to other areas. Please send! :) Will demo the hell out of it with our...

Armed Trespass is a big no-no in Georgia. Just ask any hunter who tries to track a wounded deer onto another mans property without first getting permission. It's a felony offense if I'm not mistaken.

I guess that's one drawback of living in a nanny state. One worries too much about tiny little things that H&S deem a national threat whilst other things that can really kill you are ignored or the disbelief is so great that they have zombie like reactions with no thought of self preservation...

Only one response to this thread? I guess shootings in the U.S. are more exciting to talk about. It doesn't go away if you put your head in the sand and ignore it.

That's frikkin cool. I have to have one to put on my working dog!

We had a test case in my city. The courts in this area have deemed it unconstitutional to send the registered owner a citation without actually proving they were driving. I agree with this. Last week I got a notice that one of my vehicles ran two toll booths. The county was going to issue me...

LA is on the other coast so I'm just taking a guess here....Lot's of cities have red light cameras to generate revenue. Don't know how these are triggered or if they run constant video. Usually cameras are placed in especially dangerous intersections and are used to issue citations and act as...

Some parts of Ga are decades behind the rest of us. My area is at the end of the Good OL Boy days where tickets could be fixed and officers actually observed the thin blue line. We have been pushed kicking and screaming into the 21st century. :)

There was a recent video on fb where an Australian officer wrote a traffic ticket to a muzzie wearing a burqua (?). She claimed the cop put hands on her and that he was a racist. She went to the media and finally made a formal complaint. The body cam showed she was a f***ing liar and she got...
