  • Finding value where you least expect it
    Sara Schreiber - Wednesday June 12, 2013
    I recently attended a police sniper training day just a few miles down the road from our offices. During my visit, I got some pictures and chatted with a few highly knowledgable individuals who are reinventing law enforcement SWAT protocol. One thing I learned: even with the best training coming down the line, many SWAT teams struggle to acquire the gear that makes sense for the mission. The...

  • Bombs at the finish line: what’s next?
    By Sara Schreiber - Wednesday May 15, 2013
    T he month of April was precarious to say the least. We as a country are still reeling from the bombing in Boston, the images of chaos and bags filled with runners’ unclaimed belonging at the finish line still fresh in our memories. As of 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, May 1, a whopping 70 percent of people surveyed in a Washington Post-ABC News poll said they support the death penalty for 19-year-old...

  • Realistic & Continuing Education
    By Frank Borelli - Wednesday June 12, 2013
    “ Forget all that crap they taught you in the academy.  I’ll teach you how to do real police work. ”  Yep; many of us who graduated from a police academy in the last century heard that.  I’m sure plenty of young officers still hear it today.  It’s both good and bad to hear it.  The good part is that you have a training/senior officer who is going to watch out for you some.  The bad...

  • The Need For Strategic Planning
    By Frank Borelli - Wednesday May 29, 2013
    Just recently I was contacted by a Chief of Police (friend of mine) who asked me to review his five-year strategic plan.  This is the eighth one he’s done but he’s not been the Chief for 40 years; instead, he’s done a five-year strategic plan each year for the past eight years.  Why, you might ask yourself, would a Chief do a five-year plan every year?  The answer is simple: stuff...

  • Live Blog: "The Unit" - It's Not a Movie - Day 2
    By Jonathan Kozlowski - Saturday May 4, 2013
    Like I said I planned in a previous entry ( Day 1 ), I tried the 10-7 post-shift relaxing supplement. It's mechanism is much exactly as the others: three sprays under your tongue, hold for a 10 count, swallow, go on with your day. There will not be a time post on this entry, I hope it'll be apparent why. Taste The company's product information gives me the inferrence that they spent a...

  • Live Blog: "The Unit" - It's Not a Movie - Day 1
    By Jonathan Kozlowski - Thursday May 2, 2013
    I'm trying something new here. I'm a freak so I'll admit that I will probably go back and edit - however I will try and keep true. This is my version of a "live blog." Meaning, I'm going to try a product and write about my experiences. Right now it's May 1, roughly 1:30 p.m. (central). I've eaten a worthless lunch around noon, had two cups of coffee this morning - which is low for me - and I'm...
