The ones that really get me are the ones that say claim a big reward if your information leads to an arrest, how do you stay anonyms if they are giving you a check....sigh.

My sister and her friend were fresh out of their second year of college, they decided to move off campus and get an apartment to try and save money. They answered an add on CL and made an appointment to go see the rental. When my sister and her friend got to the apartment an older guy let them...

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...

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...

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...

wow lei I would never had thought of curing depression! What a great choice! Perhaps if as a society could get a handle on depression there would be so many more positive outcomes as a people in whole!

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...

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...

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!

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

My husband and I were once having lunch with a state trooper and told us a funny joke: A state trooper was on the interstate, when a corvette zoomed past him like he was standing still. It took the trooper several minutes to catch up to the car and pull it over. As the trooper approached the...

I know this is most likely a strange question to post but the forum did say "Law Enforcement Equipment", what are everyone's favorite brand of duty boots. My husband is in corrections and has tried several brands over the years. We still haven't found that "it" brand yet. Also I would like to...

This is a question to patrol officers. Just how accurate are the speed monitoring devices that are used? I have received a ticket or two in the past for breaking the speed limit. I have never thought to question the accuracy of the devices that are used to record said speed. When writing a...

Three things I would bring with me.... water filter, fishing hooks, and duct tape (lots of duct tape). Why duct tape you ask? Did you ever see the Mythbuster's episode about being marooned and only having duct tape? You can do almost anything with that stuff, from making shelters to hand...

Hello everyone! I'm so glad to have found this forum. My husband has been in corrections for 17 years and I look forward to reading and sharing in all things law enforcement related. Sometimes I think that be a law enforcement spouse is just as hard as being a law enforcer. I just want to say...
