  The old cliché about cops and their coffee and donuts is the subject of jokes about police and a visual gag in many movies. But, in reality, it is a stereotype born out of the law enforcement officer's need to stay alert. Like surgeons and pilots, alertness in our profession can be the difference between success and failure, life and death. Also like surgeons and pilots, we must remain as cognitively sharp as possible as our brains process all kinds of conscious and subconscious stimuli w

Bravo!

  There have been some strange events lately in law enforcement, and I imagine some of you have been struck by the same thought I have: "What the heck is going on?" Let's take the growing trend of violent "protests" (which we used to call "riots") that have been allowed to occur in select locations all over our country. The media like to call these "organic movements" in an attempt to associate them with such legitimate grassroots movements as the Tea Party. But those of us who observe these "move
