The Policeman
NJLawman.com

This is just a great find.  For those not familiar with Paul Harvey, he was a radio broadcaster who died earlier this year.  Harvey was mostly know for his The Rest of the Story segments.

In this piece, Harvey discussed policeman. 

Thanks to DHH for sending this to us.

Hidden Weapons
NJLawman.com

Sometimes audio is more powerful than video.  This is one of those times.

The actual incident occurred on Thursday, February 19, 2009 in Jeffersonville, Indiana.  The officers were dispatched to a Motel 6.

The audio tapes take it from there.

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.

Use Caution with Paddle Holsters
NJLawman.com

There has been much debate over the safety of paddle holsters. 

While some officers find them to be more comfortable, others question whether they should even be authorized for plain clothes and off duty use.

To the right is a link to a YouTube video demonstrating what can happen during an encounter with a gun grabber.  You can decide for yourself.

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.  Click here for more information.

Road Cop Test
NJLawman.com

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.

San 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.

Police Officer Rating Website
NJLawman.com

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.
