Weinblatt's Tips column: "10 tips for officers engaged in off-duty incidents"
In the wake of the Salt Lake City mall shooting incident involving an off-
duty Ogden City Police officer, I spoke with one of our police academy
recruit classes. As typical the almost 40 newly minted “blue
shirts” were eager to embark on their law enforcement careers and make a
difference. They were eager to get involved and for most of them, that
included the notion of off-duty action to protect and serve.

Weinblatt's Tips column: "PoliceOne Exclusive: Domestic disturbance

Around ten years ago, as a patrol division deputy sheriff with the Santa Fe
County Sheriff's Department in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I walked up some
porch stairs to knock on the door of a mobile home. Suddenly, I was
tackled on the front porch by a 175-pound sheet rock hanger who was
annoyed that I responded to the repeat domestic violence 911 calls to
dispatchers that came in while we were enroute.

Reserve Power column: "The Flip Side: Why Some Reserves Hate Cops"
Last month’s Reserve Power for Officer.com, “Why Some Cops Hate
Reserves,” was among the most read columns. I was inundated with emails
(some rather lengthy) which underscored that the topic hit a nerve with both
reservists and their full-time counterparts. This month’s column explores the
flip side: why some reserves hate the full-time officers they assist.

Career Corner column: "How to Keep Your Boss Happy: How to acquire
power in the agency"
Whether it’s chief, sheriff, colonel, superintendent, director, or
commissioner, the top honcho in a law enforcement agency is the one that
most law enforcers want to impress. In short, they view their boss’
happiness as inextricably intertwined with theirs. In the police world’s
career oriented individual’s reality, the score is not kept so much as by the
size of year-end bonuses, like in the private sector; rather it is measured by
the acquisition of influence and proximity to those in power.

Reserve Power column: "Why Some Cops Hate Reserves: A crack in the

We’ve all heard the names at one time or another: “rent-a-cop,”
“wannabe,” “2.5,” as well as a host of other derogatory terms. There has
long been a sense of friction between reserve and full-time officers
in many departments. That animosity rises to the level of hate and is more
pronounced in certain regions of the country. This Reserve Power column
examines why such negativity abounds.

The Police and the Press column: "Press releases: Used and abused"
Here is a very common question that I get from police chief and public
information officer (PIO) types: "What is the appropriate use of press
releases in police media relations?" Back in the '80s, when I owned a New
York City metro public relations firm, the use of press releases were the
staple of the much smaller media industry. But the rules have changed since
then. This Police and the Press column covers how and when you should
use press releases so that you do not use and abuse them or, for that
matter, your media contacts.

Career Corner column: "Inside the FBI National Academy: The FBI NA

“Here’s what we think of your ##@@**!! yellow brick!” said the note on
top of the shoebox on top of the New Jersey police chief’s desk. He had
returned to his office only to find his coveted gold painted brick, which was
awarded to him when he completed the famed yellow brick road long
distance run at the end of his stint at the prestigious FBI National Academy,
was smashed into pieces. While the pulverized brick turned out to be a
fake, substituted as part of a practical joke by officers in his agency,
the pride he felt from having attended the FBI National Academy was
certainly real.

Weinblatt's Tips column: "Police officer suicide prevention: Officers kill
themselves at higher rate than general population"
The seasonal spike in suicides during the Christmas/New Years holiday
period is no secret to veteran law enforcement officers. What may come as
a surprise is the high number of officers that, to use the old phrase, "eat their
gun." The recent suicides of two New Orleans Police officers during the
stresses of Hurricane Katrina brought the topic into the news and public
view. The stressors of the holidays and police work form a deadly
combination that leads some officers to kill themselves.

Reserve Power column: "The Ultimate Sacrifice: Line of Duty Deaths
Underscore Officers’ Service"
Reserve Officer Russell Simpson was part of a group of officials in Bandon,
Oregon, attempting to rescue a thirteen-year-old boy from the ocean surf.
The 51-year-old had served as a reserve for four years with the small, but
close-knit Bandon Police Department. The teen, along with others swept
into the currents, were rescued on that fateful December day in 2003. All
that is except for Simpson. Simpson was a retired firefighter with the Los
Angeles County Fire Department in California and drowned during his
efforts to save the teenager.

many who pursue the ivory tower second career path, the cold wind of
reality sets in as they turn in their application. This Career Corner column
focuses on how to get those positions and what to expect when you get
there. For reasons of space, I’ll examine teaching opportunities in

In defensive tactics for policing, we're always looking for ways to control
(that operative word is bolded on purpose) the behaviorally challenged
individual. Unfortunately, not all wrists come in a convenient size to fit our
handcuffs. Many people with slender wrists, particularly juveniles, are able
to slip out of the cuffs despite our best efforts to do the right things. This
Weinblatt's Tips column covers what you can do with creative cuffing to
control escape-prone wrists.

You’ll never guess who really is the original “homeland security” protection

volunteered with little fanfare. Their buzzword was “reserves.”

Weinblatt's Tip column: "Death notifications: A tough police assignment"
Handling death notifications is a necessary part of the job that few law
enforcement officers enjoy. It can be traumatic for the officer, as well as for
the family members. Delivering a death message is a duty that is vitally
important with far-reaching ramifications in people's lives. Handled poorly,
extreme situations can develop. Family members and others advised of the
passing of a loved one can themselves become the object of a death
notification after they have committed suicide.

weapon.

Weinblatt's Tip column: "Firearms training: train like you play"
As a firearms instructor, I have noticed a vast difference between veteran
police officers and deputy sheriffs who take range qualifications and training
time seriously and those who merely view it as a chore to get done with and
move on. While the shooting techniques themselves may be okay and get
them through yet another re-qualification stint, it seems that some gun toting
law enforcers take shortcuts in these sessions that could impact their
survival.

Weinblatt's Tips column: "Crime scenes: stopping the evidence eradication

I remember years ago standing guard on a crime scene and hearing
detectives lament that the "evidence eradication gremlins have been here."
They were referring to first responders. Firefighters and EMS personnel
handling emergency medical response to a patient (no offense to them as
they are doing a necessary job) have particularly been long joked about in
police circles as being "evidence eradication gremlins."

Tip: "Returning DL can help avoid consent problems"
Vehicle searches are conducted on a daily basis by police officers, deputy

day defense lawyers are successful in getting judges to suppress evidence
obtained by showing that the vehicle operator's consent to search was not
voluntary.

Like many Americans, I watched with great interest, and with increasing
anger, the recent beating of a 64-year-old retired schoolteacher on the
streets of New Orleans. The glare of the public eye almost wasn't there. A
New Orleans police horse appeared to be made to walk backward,
apparently to block
the probing eye of the TV camera.

In a February 1992 media relations article I wrote for Law and Order

Thompson of the South Brunswick Township (NJ) PD lamented the fact
that the "police haven't learned to market themselves." The absence of a
police marketing mentality was true in 1992, and I think it is still the case in
2005.

Whether in New Mexico, North Carolina, or Florida, you can hear the
same concern aired by veteran police officers and deputy sheriffs
nationwide: they need college education to compete for promotions,
but their rotating schedules slow down their eagerness to get back into a
traditional college environment. Heavily marketed online college degrees
seem to be the answer to many, but it is not a path to be taken without
some knowledge of the online education industry.

Officer Safety Tip: "Officer safety: It's not just an on-duty thing"
So much is written in this and other venues regarding officer safety. It's also
a topic that police trainers cover extensively. Even with the popularity of of
the officer safety topic, many law enforcers end their officer safety thinking
when they're off the clock. As with other tactical issues in law enforcement,
planning is the key to successfully accomplishing the public safety mission.
Here are some officer safety issues to consider in your off-duty life:

As a former patrol division deputy sheriff in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I, as

procedures. One problem that comes up is determining whether subjects
are really blowing hard enough to submit a sample into the Intoxilyzer Inc.

Officer Safety Tip & Training Tip: "Intersection safety for backup units"
When I teach Vehicle Operations in the Basic Law Enforcement
Academies, I tell the recruits that the second police vehicle through the
intersection during a priority run or pursuit is not the safer one; rather
it is the more dangerous place to be. Drivers hear the sirens and see the
patrol car go through and then assume the coast is clear. They are not
looking for and often do not hear the second responding unit.
