1. I think you mean MCLEP
2. Better asked in the military law enforcement area

There’s a difference between DUI and victimizing a potential human trafficking victim.

My department just went thru “priority of life” training: hostage>bystander>officer>suspect. As long as we can explain why or how we’re protecting somebody higher from somebody lower, we’re good....

Well, I’m thinking of the Ruger Super GP100... 8x357, plus moon clips for reloads, isn’t that much different than 8x45 in a 1911, with a more powerful round.

With the new ease of bringing lawsuits against cops in Colorado I don’t see carrying 60x9mm the way I do now being very useful....

To be honest, my town loves our department... and the school board supports the SRO program... but I wouldn't work in Denver Metro for anything. Of course, I wouldn't have worked there anyway even before the shenanigans....

Head to just about any small rural town, you'll be fine.

[tanksoldier]

Yep, failing one poly is no big deal. Fail 3-4 in a row maybe there's a problem.

[tanksoldier]

Had one of those just a few months ago.

Obvious special needs teen menacing an adult female with a 2x4. I didn't have a second so I couldn't deploy a taser. He didn't drop the 2x4 and when he advanced on the female I shot him.

The "trainers'" admitted my response...

[tanksoldier]

I think you'd be disqualified for paying for a hand job......

If I had a dollar for every one of these I'd own an island. A big island....

Police are never required to read anyone anything.

A Miranda warning is required when two conditions are met: Custody _and_ Interrogation.

No custody. no Miranda. No interrogation, no Miranda.

I'm not sure why anyone thinks we would give every single person we...

[tanksoldier]

In seriousness, we try to help people like you describe but there is often not much we can do.

Many "vulnerable" populations chose to be that way. Most resources we can provide are available to them without our help. They chose not to avail themselves. It's not like there's...

I attended the academy at 43, and enjoyed Firefly, so I tried one episode of The Rookie.

I made it five minutes....

[tanksoldier]

The entire basis of a poly is the same as the basis of any other interview: the subject knows if they are lying or omitting. It’s human nature to assume others see thru your lie, and the machine adds to that assumption. Most people are horrible liars....

[tanksoldier]

As Rat says, do it for the experience but have a plan... eventually you’ll want to go somewhere else.

[tanksoldier]

Of course he didn't tell YOU that. I mean, when poly examiners talk to other LE types about what they can do and can't do. The machine's main usefulness is that it's THERE, not what it tells the examiner.

I've taken 3 polys, and been told I was lying each time. It's a tactic... like...

If you qualify under a VA program you can use that program, up to a maximum of 48 months, or the maximum of the program. Apprenticeship and OJT are part of the post-9/11 GI Bill, so if you used all 36 month of the GI Bill up then no... but there may be another program you qualify to use for the other...

[tanksoldier]

None. The reason we’re catching all this heat is because policing in the US works.

Minneapolis is just an excuse....

[tanksoldier]

You say "Good day" or you make an arrest. It's true that I'm not reading someone Miranda in their own house except under really unusual circumstances.



Won't happen. They've invoked their right to remain silent. You're done. The only way to talk to them without their...

[tanksoldier]

The VA will provide a maximum of 48 months of benefits total.

I used the pre-9/11 GI Bill for 36 months and the post-9/11 GI Bill for 12 months, since I earned both... but it capped out at 48 months total.

You can use the GI Bill in conjunction with other VA programs, but...

I'd see a sport nutritionist. There are high-calorie supplements people take for weight gain that might be helpful, here are some recipes for home made shakes:
