In conjunction with the 2000 tip, “Search For The BB”, I would like to take it a step further. In conducting your searches, are the items you see, the items you find really what they are intended to represent? There are several websites devoted to disguised weapons. I recieve photos and articles almost daily as results of “finds” in the field. Please share your “finds” with fellow officers at all levels. That one item that was in roll call or at a training session can have a snowball effect of unknown reaches! I have seen the effects as an instructor at a federal training academy.
With the newer generations of law enforcement officers emerging, a review of the “old school” items also serves as a wake up for all! Knowledge is truly power. In police work...it is the power to keep us alive.
