Hidden
Weapons

The New York Daily News recently did a piece on hidden weapons.
While some of them are old news, it is still, nonetheless, an interesting
read.

First Aid Calls - Strokes
NJLawman.com
This one will benefit you whether you're on a call or at a family
function.
Strokes are difficult calls for first
responders as we are limited in what we can do besides comforting the
victim, providing oxygen and expediting emergency transport.
However, there is one crucial thing we can do:
Find out exactly when the stroke occurred.
There is a medication that can be given to
certain stroke patients, which, is some cases, can significantly
minimize the effects of the stroke. It is called TPA or in medical
terms t-PA.
However, this medication generally must be
given within three hours of the actual stroke.
There has been great success with this
medication.

for more information.
Most departments require a pre-flight type check of the patrol vehicle
prior to starting patrol. For those that carry shotguns in the passenger
compartment, removing, unloading, and reloading the shotgun is often
part of the exercise.
Sometimes, however, calls start coming in before we hit the road, and we
must perform an abbreviated pre-flight check. Our skills can get a bit
rusty.
So, here’s the test: how long does it take you to put the car in park,
unlock and remove the shotgun, and step out of the car?
Oh yeah, at night in the dark.
Remember, if you would not be putting on the interior light when
responding to a hot call, so don’t do it when testing yourself.
We just added a page listing some of the more well known
police magazines.
If you have a chance, take a look. If we're missing any, give us a
shout so we can keep the list fresh

Francisco Police Patch NJLawman.com
Many police departments have mottos or slogans they use on the
vehicles, letterhead, etc. "To Serve and Protect" or a version of
such is the most common.
The San Francisco Police Department has a rather unique motto which
is inscribed on their patch.
"Oro en paz, fierro en guerra."
Written in Spanish, the phrase translates to "Gold in peace, Iron in
War."

Police and Fire Mortgage Program NJLawman.com
4.67%. That is the current rate for the Police and Fire Mortgage.
Despite rumors to the contrary, the Police and Fire Mortgage Program is up
and running. There was a depletion of available funds which is
temporarily halting the refinancing option, but that money is expected
to be replenished.
Other than that, the program is still available.
For more information on the Police and Fire Mortgage Program, call Sharon
Press at 800-612-1864. Sharon has been a long-time advertiser on
NJLawman.com and we've received many compliments about her. Even
if you just have questions about mortgages in general, she's very
friendly and knowledgeable.
Yet another site which will undoubtedly warehouse defamatory information
about police officers has launched in cyberspace. Ratemycop.com is
a database of just about every police department in the country.
While still under construction, site owners are in the process of
entering every officer for each department by name. Visitors can
rate the individual officers by different criteria and even leave
comments.
Police equipment can be purchased from a variety of websites on the Internet. However, finding police equipment at a reasonable price takes some work.
