Does anyone carry over the ear electronic muffs in their squad for emergencies?
Does anyone carry over the ear electronic muffs in their squad for emergencies?
Yes. Attached to my rifle bag. They go on if the rifle comes out. Also have a pair of Surefire EP3' s for emergency use in my pocket.
Yes in my go bag. Along with cut resistant gloves, disposable gloves, ammo, med kit, etc. I've used the muffs and gloves the most.
I got a pair of EP4s recently and I had no idea what I was missing out on. I'll be buying a few more pairs of them and stashing them around my car, in the range bag, etc...Originally Posted by AMC
It's all fun and games until someone mounts that on an impala, Taurus, or charger and the whole front axle gets wripped off.
I see a disaster waiting to happen with cops trying to utilize that system. Next thing you will hear someone hooking that contraption onto a tractor trailer or some nonsense.

So basically, the cop car is lassoing the tire of the car being pursued? How is that not dangerous at high speed?
It's a genuine question as I don't know the first thing about high speed pursuits.
Doesn't seem any more dangerous to me than having a guy manually chuck the 'ol tire poppers on a busy road.

One solid suggestion elsewhere, from a well experienced aviation guy (FARP team chief), was having eye pro available. It was a palm to forehead moment - now that I'm in glasses all the time that consideration didn't pop into my head.
Any option is going to have varying amounts of danger.
The option this company is presenting appears to be an option with easier employment and less danger than other options.

It appears the device wraps around the axle and tire which forces the vehicle to stop. It's safer than deploying stop sticks while on foot. Many agencies have banned stop sticks and similar devices. We only use them if we have SOLID cover like a bridge support or building
