Command staff are worried about crash rates and liability. Accountants and fleet managers are worried about purchase price and total cost of ownership. Meanwhile, patrol officers just want a car that will perform well. Command staff are under the belief that if they buy “faster” cars, crash rates will go up because officers will drive top speed to every call. But what if officers are crashing because their cars are too slow?

Fight Them Into Handcuffs: Addressing The ‘Excessive Force’ Argument

Today there are more cameras per square foot of landscape than ever before, and as we law enforcement professionals do our jobs, that means more people than ever creating footage...
I shot a 6.5 Creedmor Ashbury Precision Ordinance SABER® M700™ with a mounted Crimson Trace CTL-5318. This is a brand-new tactical rifle scope in 3-8x50mm. It has a complex reticle in mils, which is designed for rapid target acquisition. The winds were about 20mph, with 40 mph gusts. This scope had plenty of stadia lines for corrections on the fly. I splashed every target, which were all placed beyond 400 yards. It wasn't my shooting, which was only average. Crimson Trace's Tim O'Connor is an experienced spotter, and guided every shot.
