					<description><![CDATA[It is well established that as police officers, we often work in diminished light situations. Even officers assigned to day watch have to go into dim areas, such as abandoned buildings, warehouses, and closets, looking for suspects. Police officers have been trained, however, that using your flashlight can make you a target. Therefore, many instructors [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Police officers often find weapons on suspects during pat-downs and post-arrest searches. Sometimes the weapons are firearms, and other times the weapons are knives, ice picks, brass knuckles, and the like. These are generally no problem to spot and identify, right? Not always. There are many criminals walking around with weapons that are disguised as [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For more than two decades, police trainers have preached the virtues of using &#8220;contact and cover.&#8221; Done correctly, contact and cover offers a very safe method of dealing with suspects. But, are we correctly implementing what we were taught? Contact and cover is a tactic that is used by two patrol officers when encountering a [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Currently, there are (among others) two trends in law enforcement: the widespread deployment of X2&#160;and X26 TASERs, and replacing shotguns with AR-15 style rifles. The folks at TASER International, Inc. saw an opportunity in these two trends and have developed the TASER XREP. What is the XREP? XREP stands for eXtended Range Electronic Projectile.

EDPs fall into three general categories: chemical abusers, short term, and long term. Recognizing what category the EDP falls into may help you in how you deal with the subject.

Given the opportunity, some of them will try. So, we need to take every opportunity to spot danger before it is too late. One of the more useful skills an officer [&#8230;]]]></description>

For years it has been common knowledge that departments that issue both electronic control devices (such as the TASER)&#160;and oleoresin capsicum (O.C. or pepper) spray should be careful to buy a non-flammable formulation of O.C. spray.
