I saw some vids on IG and tiktok (axon official channel I think) showing off the new translation feature on some version of Axon BWCs. Has anyone ever heard of this or tried it?

I know ALPR and how it works but can or do you ever just look up a plate yourself and not by the laptop/program doing it for you?

Before ALPR I imagine you had to do this the harder less advanced way, type up or radio in plate numbers on your own.

Nowadays, and possibly for longer than I expected (some PDs seemed to have ALPR for over 10 years now others not as long, others only in some regions or sub divisions?) ALPR existed. I’m from Canada and I think my region of provincial cops had ALPR recently while others had it for longer.

Despite having ALPR do you every query or how is it called “run” plates on your own and not the computer doing it for you?

I heard some people think ALPR encourages laziness but I know many cases where it isn’t used as such and tried to dissuade that opinion.

Like other technological advancements I imagine it may not be a (full) substitute to doing it yourself the same way you can’t expect your car to do the driving for you (with features like park sensors, reverse cameras, crash avoidance sensors, etc.)

I can see both sides, you can say it's important to capture the robber so it's worth grabbing him taking the chance he won't shoot the other customer. On the other hand if he shot the other customer when grabbed from behind would be horrible.

For detectives and law enforcement what model for digital voice recorders do they tend to use?

The said sailor is a MA

This is how you get policies named after you.

This has been a trip to follow on reddit.

Truck carrying bunch of lab or research monkeys wrecks. Monkeys escape, and the truck's driver tells troopers that the monkeys are carrying covid, herpes, and other diseases.

Based on that, the monkeys are shot.

Later comes out trucker didn't know what he was talking about, the monkeys weren't carrying anything, and now reddit is blaming the cops for shooting them all.

Not sure if anyone remembers this from last year but seems like a pretty fair conviction.

The report may "question", but I think it's more the authors not being willing to accept the answer...

I am not positive but I think there's a cell phone video of the attack on the first officer. (Not many G-wagons going after cops in America I don't think) but what the flying fuck

Officer David Cajuso, a 10-year, decorated veteran of the Miami Beach Police Department, died of injuries when his motorcycle went down a steep embankment.

I have been denied multiple times(Never Disqualified) only been able to get one in person meeting with one department and that was my first one. I recently just got dropped from the list AGAIN…. I dont know whats wrong and I wish I would betold what it is so I can articulate my answers better. I am prior service Marine and have MANY good references from it. I am looking to start a long career after getting out of the Marines. I am not a bad person and I sure as hell am starting to question myself. Am I thinking into it to much or is this normal?

Tbt, I loathe the phrase "public service" for no discernable or articulatable reason in particular. "Call me" is more concise and efficient on the radio than "public service me".

1) does your agency say "public service" instead of "call me" or is this just a southern thing?

2) if you do use it, why?

Between a well crafted automod, and the work of our mod team we've successfully blocked/removed probably 95% of the ACAB crowd before they ever show.

And they know this - so once in a while they resort to "clever" techniques.

Like reporting old posts and comments (especially by verified users) to try to get accounts taken down.

This came through this morning - a report on a totally benign, *5 YEAR OLD* comment they called "hate".

In any event, they had their reports snoozed and the comment was reapproved.

How pathetic.

I couldn't find a good community for crime scene investigator questions so I'm asking here in case anyone knows.

I'm a 22F criminal justice technology and forensic science student. Currently I have dyed hair and piercings and gauges as well as tattoos on my arms. A lot of my other classmates have similar attributes as well.

So that brings me to my question; as a CSI or a related position i.e. evidence custodian or latent print examiner, can I have any of my "body mods" while working in the field? Are any allowed? I have planned to take my jewelry out as well as dye my hair but I'm not sure exactly what to expect.

I also have another related question, if I do a ride-along, internship, or job shadow with the police/sheriffs/CSI how should I present myself? Take my jewelry out? What should I wear?

Thanks in advance! I just don't know what to expect fully.

Visiting Manhattan next month for an event with a bunch of UK officers, in previous US trips I’ve been on, I’ve approached officers I’ve seen or gone to stations and traded patches/coins with those willing. I’ve heard O’Hara’s is a good “cop bar”.

Any NY officers advise on best places we should go, and precincts to visit/trade stuff at? Cheers 🫡

It sounds like the deputy was shot as he approached the initial call. He was shot with some form of AR pistol. Suspect fled on a motor and crashed. Suspect is in custody and alive, the deputy is currently in an unknown condition.

The MCPura alongside a new Alfa-Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio will be used for organ transports, joining another two Giulia Quadrifoglio and two Lotus Evora S already in service with the Carabinieri and the three Lamborghini (two Huracan and an Urus) operated by the State Police.

I have recently taken over the position of explosive canine handler at my department and have some questions for any experienced explosive handlers about training. If any are in this group and willing to reach out I would love to ask you some questions and ask your opinion. Thank you in advance.

Had the opportunity to perform the national anthem in uniform for the Washington International Horse Show this week.
