    Police Gain Access to Home Security Cameras

    I appreciate where you are coming from. Can't say I disagree with the idea. The sad fact is, taxes are high in my area. Especially in the towns. We have folks come to our office and ask why there aren't more officers on the street. We tell them that the tax base would have to increase by...

    Carry A Pocketknife!

    When in the field, and MRE toilet paper was not an option (is it ever?), I returned many times with sleeveless halter tops. I kept clothing and sales in business just buying t shirts.

    Police Gain Access to Home Security Cameras

    THIS. A MILLION TIMES THIS. Some agencies roll them out for career day at schools or community events. At my school, we have a guy from the "other side" of the bridge that shows up with his SWAT gear, bomb robot, etc. He sets his table up next to mine and lays out weapons, gear, the whole...

    Police Gain Access to Home Security Cameras

    For me personally, we have had a few investigations solved by private citizen security cameras. While we canvas the area during the investigation, and we notice a camera, we go to the homeowner and say "Hey, we notice you have a camera that faces "X" direction. If you have a few minutes, can...

    Does Sniper's Hide really need the constant flow of LE bashing?

    No problem. Glad to help shed some light where I can. I can tell you that even at my agency, our pursuit policy years ago was "Chase 'em till the wheels fall off - even out of state". Now, you had better have witnessed them commit a felony, or see a child bound and gagged in the trunk to...

    Does Sniper's Hide really need the constant flow of LE bashing?

    Veer, I thought you may find this interesting. While on ESPN.com, I saw this headline: "ESPN is now broadcasting all Eagles games on the History Channel due to fans constantly talking about the past" May help you and Doc out!

    Does Sniper's Hide really need the constant flow of LE bashing?

    Although I may not always agree with your viewpoints, I truly appreciate your responses. Always well written and thought provoking. As for the debate about vehicle take down vs. knock and announce - there's a time and place for both. Agencies have to weigh all the factors when attempting the...

    Does Sniper's Hide really need the constant flow of LE bashing?

    Dude. Seriously. Think about this for a second.......I work on the Eastern Shore of MD. Recently, a video surfaced of a Balt. City PD Officer who beat a drunk - and the drunk did nothing physical to the Officer - even while being beat. Victim never even swung back. It was on video...

    Does Sniper's Hide really need the constant flow of LE bashing?

    Amen. When Delegate Dwyer came around to the PD's after Sandy Hook, and Owemalley was looking for support for his confiscation/new legislation efforts, there were a bunch of MD Sheriffs......and two PD Chiefs.........who were vocal about their opposition to the confiscation/new law efforts...

    Does Sniper's Hide really need the constant flow of LE bashing?

    I agree 1000000000000000000000000%. We don't always do ourselves any favors in the PR department. Sometimes we earn bad PR when we even do the right thing. Not everybody likes us. I'm OK with that. I try to remain firm but fair in my official interactions with the folks I serve. Some folks...
