In the show Hill Street Blues, who was the original desk / watch sergeant (Charactor name) and what was he famous for saying before dismissing the watch?
Phil Esterhouse - "Hey, hey, HEY! Let;'s be careful out there!
What is a dump pouch?
Many of you answered with the tactical, military definition of a pouch carried for misc rounds, evidence or empty magazines, etc. This was wrong. Remember, this is a POLICE trivia game. A "dump pouch" was the predecessor of the speedloader. It was a belt accesssory which held six loose rounds and when unsnapped, would "dump" 6 rounds into the officer's hand for reloading.Of course, this was way back when 90% of police carried revolvers. A later improvement to them was the speed strip into which six round were inserted and the entire strip was carried in the dump pouch and pulled out as one strip.
Here are the final players. Remember - if either question is wrong, the entire round is wrong.
