IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN!!! POLICE WEEK!!


Well folks it's that time of the year again where we remember our Brother's whose EOW's came much too soon, and give thanks to the powers that be that we are here to remember and not be remembered. It's a sobering fact that a lot of Brother's wont be with us this year, and for all of my civy reader's, this is the time of year when you too can make a difference. Just go up to an Officer on the street, or in a coffee shop, wherever, and just say the 2 little words, " THANK YOU!!" I guartantee it will make the Officer you have done it to feel 100% better, and make our daily fight against the bad guys go a bit easier!!! And hey, you may even feel great about it also!!! :-)

To all the Brother's that have gone before, Rest In Peace for a job well done, you will never be forgotten!!!


" POLICE WEEK "
by Sgt Mark A Turner


The time has now come, for this one week a year
When we all stop to think… when we all shed a tear
For all of the Heroes, whose names grace the wall
And for all of those Heroes, who still answer the call

Family and friends at the wall they will stand
With pictures, letters, and love in their hands
Left at the wall will be displays of their love
A tribute to those who now watch from above

They will think of the day their world was destroyed
A split second in time… causing such a great void
As they visit the wall, there is great pain in their heart
But strangely it's there… that the healing can start

As they stand there in awe of this memorial stone
It is then that they realize that they are not alone
So many others with stories quite the same
So many more sharing each other's pain

Let us all stop and think what this week's all about
It's for those who sacrifice for us… day in and day out
And for each name engraved by the stone cutter's knife
There are hundreds of people… touched by that life

Although it's just a week, seven days from the year
It's a lifetime of anxiety, emotions and fear
For most that will ease when the ceremony ends
But this week, lasts forever… for family and friends

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO ALL OF MY " SOUTHERN" FRIENDS!!!!!

Image
Just a quick note to wish all of my friends in the USA a very happy and safe July 4th!!! If you're "on the job" today in LEO LAND be extremely safe, the sound of a firecracker can sound a lot like a gun, and if you're off work today, take time to sit back, relax, and spend time with your loved ones. To my "agricultural" friends in Montana, yes, you know who you are!!! Sit back with a few cold ones, spend time with the " little farmer's", enjoy the day!! The fields can wait until tomorrow, and there is enough grass that the cattle can graze on their own today!!! HAVE FUN EVERYONE AND HAPPY FOURTH FROM THE NORTH!!!!!

UNDERWATER EVIDENCE COLLECTING

EVIDENCE COLLECTION AND YOU--the Public Safety Diver ( PSD) All agencies and PSD teams have their own SOP's and SOG's and I am in no way telling you to deter from the methods outlined in yours, what I'll attemp to do in this brief is to give you all a few hints/pointers that you may already use, or may want to fit into your operating practices. Lets face it, an big wide open body of water is an invitation for the bad guy to ditch and try to evade the finding of things that will put him away. It is OUR job to recover this evidence to the best of our abilities and our teams abilities. The criminal has the mindset of , " if it sinks to the bottom nobody will ever see it again." WRONG, this is where we come in. Even though the evidence is UW it does not negate the need to apply the same crime scene techniques as used above on dry land. Our main goals as PSD's is to collect enough evidence to procure a conviction in court against the accused. And like evidence...
