    Jurisdiction Question about Hackers

    Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about jurisdiction when it comes to a hacker, but here it goes. My brother's home computer network got hacked into and it has taken about 6 months for him to figure out where his hacker was originating from. He had to hire a...

    Robotic camera's and drones... does your department use them?

    Ha! You have a good point there. I didn't think about tax payers having to foo the bill for those things, they can come with a hefty price tag. Perhaps the can be used for special situations like hostage situations and riots. Or maybe it just wishful thinking on my part. (I just get excited when...

    Robotic camera's and drones... does your department use them?

    I have heard a lot of buzz about law enforcement using robotic cameras and drones to be "eyes" where it may be hard for police to see and still be relatively safe. I was just interested if anyone has had experience with using devices like this and has it be a help or hindrance. I'm sure the cost...

    Do You Legally Have to Roll Down a Window More than 2 Inches?

    There has been a huge controversy lately about this subject. I can understand both sides of the debate. There are those folks that think its an invasion of privacy and then there are folks that believe you should because you should have nothing to hide. I tend to lean toward the latter of this...

    Getting fed up?

    My husband is a correctional officer and he complains of this all the time. He sees the vicious cycle of the repeat offenders coming back into the system all the time. He has gotten to the point that when a inmate gets released he tells them "we'll leave the light on for you." So I can defiantly...

    Hammer Time?

    oh boy...this poor guy will have a story to tell his grandchildren for sure. I am so glad that social media wasn't a 'thing' when I was young or who knows how many embarrassing video's about me would have ended up in cyberspace to haunt me for the rest of my days! LOL!

    Why are police allowed to take their weapons home?

    I understand your concerns when regarding this subject especially with current controversy involving law enforcement. But just take into account this scenario for a moment. (your walking to your car after a long night of shopping with your children, when an armed man grabs you and shoves you to...

    What can I do to be safe while running or walking outside?

    Another good thing to keep in mind when running or walking is to always vary the time that you go. Don't get set on a schedule, if you routinely make it a pattern of the exact time of day that you run you will make yourself a much easier target to hit for predators. Also I would like to...

    Bonus pay for physical fitness?

    I know I'm going to stir a lot of emotions with this topic but here it goes... Do you think law enforcement employees should receive bonus pay or incentives for maintaining a reasonable physical fitness level? Now I don't mean being able to run a marathon or leap tall building with a pole vault...

    Should police be able to request grants from the government?

    I totally agree with you! I believe that the federal government should step in and give funding to local law enforcement. I mean if the government can send so much money to countries overseas that are in need why cant they help out our men and women of law enforcement. The focus should be turned...

    Driver and passenger shot dead after fatally striking toddler

    Wow! This is indeed to put it mildly a tragedy! I can understand the anguish and overwhelming grief that could come from the death of a child, but to take another child's life and a fathers in retribution is just something I am having trouble wrapping my mind around. I suppose we will have to...

    neighborhood watch groups (helpful or not)?

    What kind of problems have you guys run into with neighborhood watch groups. Do you find that these groups really do cut down on the number of crimes that happen in a particular area? I lived in Florida when the Martin-Zimmerman incident happened and I was wondering how officers truly view these...
