Okay. They're great at training and have lots of money. I get that. Sounds like many a law school professor: great instructor but never practiced law, much less was ever inside a courtroom. The...
Which raises an interesting point. I've often wondered, since my days as a trainee in the academy, How on earth did the FBI become the preeminent authority on LE firearms? They weren't even armed...
Not long ago I observed a parole board hearing. Five inmates were scheduled on this particular day to appear before the parole board. They also produced family members and witnesses on their behalf...
SIG P220 Stainless Steel Elite. Way to heavy to carry. Each and every 100 rounds fired had at least one malfunction - nose diving round. Tried different mags and marked 'em and regardless of mag...
Always clean; always well lubed.
I have the utmost respect for Gen. Kelly and the service and commitment he's made to our country. The loss of his son is a sacrifice no one should suffer. I admire him for stepping forward and...
SIG is by far my all time favorite pistol for service and concealed carry. The moment I wrapped my hands around the P320 Compact 9mm I really liked it and it was to be my first striker-fired...
You are not missing a thing. Re-holstering - especially in the age of striker-fired weapons - has proven to be one of the most dangerous things a police officer does; I venture to say this includes...

I am with you 100% on this one. Sorry, kids, its one of the most dangerous National holidays there is - perhaps second to Memorial Day in South Beach.
Its a little ambiguous, although I think I know what they mean to say. However, they should say it. "Gun belt on the strong side..." Perhaps they mean to say holstered on the strong side.
The older beat cops I knew when I first got on the job were amazing with a nightstick and used it quite effectively. Considered volatile in our racially charged society, the nightstick quietly died...
I don't know, but where I work you'd better have good health care insurance if you hit or spit on a cop. And no copper with any experience expects any more justice from the courts than the bad guy...
You would be wise to heed that advise given here. I can tell you that yor are more than qualified. I know because I conduct background investigations on police applicants. But, as already nicely...
Excellent video. It appears that the drive stun was somewhat more effective than the probes. But the pepper spray seems to have finally did the trick.
