To paraphrase, “It’s not that [Biden] is bad, it’s … it’s that [he’s] so bad, [he] makes me want to put my finger through my eye, into my brain, and swirl it around!” In a previous NPA article about U.S. Read more »
By Chief Joel F. Shults, Ed.D In civil lawsuits where one party alleges that another party caused them harm negligently or intentionally the standards by which this can be proven are well established.

By Stephen Owsinski There are boundless energies in our nation’s police canines, unfailingly illustrated in these hard-charging working dogs that advance police work. Sometimes they are injured in the line of duty…and just do what they do best: Keep fighting. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) K9 Ringo is one such example…and he showed us what Read more »

Others, like recently retired Seattle police Lieutenant Jessica Taylor, seem to suffer from a writer’s logjam—that finally breaks.

By Steve Pomper LAPD police union VP Sgt. Jerretta Sandoz The LAPD has lost 1,000 cops since 2019 (actual losses are often higher than reported by officials), according to LawOfficer.com. Let’s begin with that manmade disaster. Like other blue jurisdictions, run by radical leftists, Los Angeles treats its police officers like trash. This treatment is reflected not only Read more »
By Chief Joel F. Shults, Ed.D The National Institute of Justice just released a document entitled “A Landscape Report on Measuring Community Sentiment and Perceptions of Safety and Law Enforcement Performance”. By coincidence, just before I saw the announcement of this report in my email, I was doing an internet search for “police officer hug” Read more »
