By Stephen Owsinski Through recency, we’ve all clenched our jaws and gnashed our teeth after seeing tons of uploaded recordings of cops wrangling with resistant wrongdoers while trying to effect arrests…as pop-up video-taping do-nothings fantasize about TMZ buying their footage. Ugh! Those coming to the aid of cops, however, deserve the accolades and whatever recognition Read more »
By Steve Pomper I supposed nothing highlights the crisis in American law enforcement like the unholy, unwanted competition between leftist-run cities for the ignoble title of “Murder Capital of America.” But that’s a part of what the U.S. has come to under such poor leadership. As of September 11th, according to FOX News, “New Orleans Read more »
By Steve Pomper Three tragic headlines have splashed across North American media outlets over the past week, noting serious problems with criminal justice systems in the U.S. and Canada—actually, in the West.

By Steve Pomper Seattle Fire Department Though we normally deal with the police side of public safety, what happens to our brothers and sisters on the fire side sometimes affects the cops directly.

That should come as no surprise, though. We can all agree on the stupidity of would-be criminals. But even knuckleheads know to steer clear of properties patrolled by the obvious Read more »
By Steve Pomper San Franciscans have overwhelmingly (60%) tossed Marxist District Attorney Chesa Boudin onto the ash heap of city history, and SFPD cops must be celebrating. Where Seattle voters tossed out their non-prosecuting disaster, Pete Holmes, during the 2020 election, voting in Republican, Ann Davison, voters in San Fran couldn’t wait for a scheduled election Read more »

As its anti-cop mayor, Chicago residents don’t stand a chance against criminals. Lightfoot and Read more »
By Chief Joel F. Shults, Ed.D Like a white dot on a field of black, our attention is inevitably drawn to the outlier, the loudest, the brightest flash, and the thing that creates the most fear and unknown. We are built like that because noticing things that are out of place has survival value to Read more »
By Chief Joel F. Shults, Ed.D Summertime and the living is dangerous. In Hillsborough County, a corrections deputy was being strangled by an inmate using a towel around her neck. She was saved when other inmates intervened. In California, two El Monte police officers responded to a possible stabbing at a motel and came under Read more »
