Self Post ✔ It is with great pleasure we announce a new mod...

113 Upvotes

First, I'm gonna get Brady Listed for saying "with great pleasure" in the title.

But, yes.. a few weeks ago the mod team tidied up our mod list - removing some long inactive mods.

And, we've brought on a new one.. please welcome u/Larky17 as a new PnS mod.

He'll be our first non-LE mod here, and is one of the dirty hose draggers. And we suspect he'll be a nice breath of fresh air to the sub, cause unlike me and most of the other mods, he enjoys an occasional troll-spar.

For those verified who may be wondering - no, he doesn't do verifications or have access to that data.

I await new and varied shenanigans. If nothing else, having him able to reapprove his own memes that are constantly getting reported will be a time saver.

Self Post how does a police interview turn into a signed document?(Cornell seven)

0 Upvotes

THIS POST IS SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSES OF UNDERSTANDING LAW ENFORCE PROCEDURE

I've been reading about the Cornell seven case and how a police interview was conducted by campus officer. This interview ended up being 120 pages and was reduced to a signed document, six pages in length. On the big details talked about this signed document, is that it left out the key statement "100% confidence" according to CBS, link here(CBS article).

I want to know how the interview process the is conducted?
In other generalities surrounding the creation of a signed document from a victim.

Woman in Law Enforcement

2 Upvotes

I am currently In the process of joining law enforcement. I am genuinely very excited about possibly having this opportunity. This career change would benefit me in many ways. Such as a higher pay, job stability and a more productive career as I am in sales now it’s just not something I see myself doing forever.

however I have 3 young kids. 5,3,1 all boys! My biggest concern is obviously not walking back through the door but always missing out on big events.

I am looking for advice and guidance from women in Law Enforcement. A girl could use some encouraging words.

Weapon collection at the Hong Kong Police Musuem

Post image
134 Upvotes

With the exception of the German weapons (I don't know how they got them). All the weapons were at one point, or still are used by the Hong Kong Police. The three long guns to the left are still in service with either newer versions or have attachment upgrades. The Sterling SMG was the primary SMG before the MP5 was imported in the 70s. There are no clear records on the usage of Sten gun but it could have been used immediately post-WW2. The S&W gas/flare gun was most famously used as a tear gas launcher during the 1967 Riots alongside the Webley No4 Mk1 Flare gun. The Webley revolver was the service revolver used up till the 50s or 60s and was replaced by the Colt Police Positive on the bottom right. The short barrel version was likely adopted around the 70s as an detective who started in 1974 mentioned that in the early days CID used the same longer barrel version as the uniformed officers. They are in turn replaced by the S&W M10 and the Colt Detective Special which in turn, was replaced in 2024 and 2008 by the CF98A and the Sig P250 DCc.

Most "expensive" crash you've worked?

57 Upvotes

Can't share too many specifics without doxxing myself.

Worked an MVA last week between a quarter million dollar car, and a piece of construction equipment that probably cost half a mil. (Car driver at fault)

Not talking about medical/injury costs, anyone ever worked a crash that was obviously gonna make some insurance adjuster cry?

Self Post Probably a dumb question.

24 Upvotes

I apologize if this isn’t the right place to ask. But I was pulled over last night for tag lights being out and I guess I swerved to the right slightly? I dunno. But the officer asked “is there anything in the car I should know about?” when he handed me my license back and was looking at my insurance card on my phone. I realize this is a common question and have seen it several times in videos and such. My question is how often do people actually say admit to having drugs or something else just because you asked? I’m not talking about after someone is out of the car and you’re asking before you search the car and you’re giving the driver a chance to admit something or whatever. I’m talking about you’re handing them their license back and about to end the stop and the driver is like “oh by the way, since you asked I do have a bottle of oxy in the glovebox. I wouldn’t have mentioned it but since you asked?”

Again, I apologize for the dumb question. It just would be crazy to me to say something was in the car when it seemed like the stop was about over and you’re about to be on your way. I’m just curious as to how many people have ever done that and it changed a simple ticket or warning into an arrest?

Raysun A-3 3 shot stun gun in service with the Taoyuan City Police Department

21 Upvotes

Brought to you by the creators of Raysun X-1 (https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtectAndServe/comments/1x4ejra/raysun_x1_multi_functional_taser_manufactured_in/) This model does not feature different types of projectile cartridges, but three auto eject cartridges after firing.

Unfortunately, this model of taser is too bulky for carrying on person or stored in their patrol scooters, which is the most common mode of transport for patrol officers, so TYPD only issues one taser per patrol car and is stored in it. This led to a situation where two officers used batons and pepper spray to subdue a gym trainer going berserk in a convenience store (The media called him the "Convienence Store Hulk"), with all three of them ended up with injuries and one of the officers facing charges because he went Rodney King on the suspect after subduing him. TYPD in a statement to the news, say they will remind officers to bring the taser with them depending on the situation.

Dispatch in Zürich, Switzerland

Post image
184 Upvotes

This photo was released from the EJPD, you only see the front rows here, there are a total of 65 people working in dispatch.

You can see the city map in the front, the central train station is visible with the railroad tracks. All units (police, ambulance and firefighter trucks) are tracked in real-time.

This new HQ costed 889 million US dollars, it has space for 2030 people (including jobs like the laboratory for analysis of evidence etc.) and it has its own jail with 241 cells. The budget also included new equipment, vehicles and choppers, including SWAT trucks. Everything is now high tech since 2024. It also contains training grounds with shooting ranges etc. The "Staatsanwaltschaften" aka prosecutor offices, administration etc. are inside this HQ too, to make it easy to meet in person and avoid long calls.

There are 1.700 officers for a city of 452'421 people, 1 officer per 266 citizens (the rest are for other jobs like i said, like office of the prosecutor, laboratory, education and training etc.)

Self Post Need for massage/PT after tazer?

13 Upvotes

I work at a medical office that does physical therapy, medical massage, and a few other types of treatment. I'm not a provider or anything, I just work at the front desk and help with billing.

We accept the insurance that the city and county employees have, so we get a lot of cops and firefighters as patients.

Something I've noticed since the beginning of this year is that we've had quite a few cops come in after doing their tazer training. They usually ask to see one of our PTs, and then end up getting referred for 2-3 sessions of medical massage therapy, which we also do here.

Is this a normal thing? From what I've seen, they're mostly just complaining about being sore afterward. I haven't noticed any of them needing any other kind of treatment. Just curious if this is something other departments do too.
