Police1 member Officer Jerome Sipes of the Department of Veterans Affairs, Tampa Bay, Fla. warns of a new concealment technique. Officers should be aware that the new Adidas Tracey McGrady basketball shoe has a hidden compartment designed to store a key. The new Tracy McGrady basketball shoes do not have laces. Instead, they have a device that can be tightened to give a snug fit.
The snap on the back opens up a compartment that holds the special key to tighten and loosen the shoes. As shown, a handcuff key can be easily concealed inside the compartment. Removal of the special tightening key would allow more space.
