Flying Cross Launches Dual Closure External Armor Vest Cover
Flying Cross, a leader in the design and manufacture of U.S. military and public safety uniform apparel, announced significant improvements to its Aeroshell Armor Cover, an external armor vest cover expertly designed with a zipper and Velcro dual adjustable side panel closure system. The patent-pending dual-closure system allows for a secure fit utilizing a Velcro and a zipper closure for ease of donning and doffing. The system enhances officer safety by eliminating the need of daily manipulation and adjusting, as well as accelerated wear with other single, expandable closure systems, both of which can lead to fit issues.

Genetec Clearance Now Enables Easy Upload of Video from Phones
Genetec Inc., a leading technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions, has announced the new 'File Request' feature for its Genetec Clearance digital evidence management system. The feature is designed to make it easy for the general public and private businesses to contribute to crime-solving efforts by sharing relevant video and photos from their cell phones and surveillance systems with law enforcement agencies.
The new feature is simple to use: investigators create a file request link or QR code that can be shared with the public in a variety of ways such as via social media, on the web, or on the news. Contributors can then upload videos, photos, and other evidence directly into Clearance for police officers, investigators, and security managers to review and use as part of their investigation. Since Clearance can accept a wide variety of proprietary file types and file sizes, it is easy for private businesses to upload digital evidence from their surveillance systems even if they are very large files.
Once uploaded, all case information remains private and secure and user actions are tracked to maintain chain of custody. Genetec says the Clearance File Request feature also eliminates the need to create multiple copies using insecure means like DVDs or thumb-drives, and saves personnel time from having to drive out to gather evidence.
"As we turn to our phones to capture life's events, and as video surveillance increases, so does the amount of digital evidence created by personal devices and private systems. For investigators, getting access to this evidence can be tricky, especially since large video files are difficult to share. With the new File Request feature in Genetec Clearance, agencies can quickly put out requests for evidence, and maximize their efforts when collaborating during an investigation," said Erick Ceresato, Product Line Manager at Genetec.
The new feature is available immediately. For more information, visit https://www.genetec.com/clearance.

A Plague of Deadly Hesitation, De-Motivation, and De-Policing in America
Earlier this week, it was reported that an officer with the Chicago (IL) Police Department — who spoke to a local television news station anonymously and with a concealed face and voice — said that he is "more concerned about what the media is going to think about me, what they're going to put on the news, or how I'm going to be portrayed as this evil person" than of being killed in the line of duty.
"There is some hesitancy on wanting to be aggressive and doing police work the way it needs to be," he said.
This officer's outlook on policing in America is not new — nor is it really news. His comments reflected a common concern among officers across the country. Police in a variety of places have talked about trepidation to act when action is the only reasonable response. They have spoken about fearing the aftermath of a deadly force encounter more than they do the incident itself.
This hesitancy has two serious ramifications. Officers are put in greater peril of injury or death. Innocent citizens are more likely to fall prey to the predators that prowl the streets.
Officer Safety
We've seen officers literally retreat from potentially dangerous subjects.
Remember when an officer with the New Richmond (OH) Police Department backpedaled away from a rapidly approaching subject — who was not complying with the officer's orders to take his hand from his pocket — ultimately tripping and falling to his back with his gun in his hand? That subject was known at the time to be suspected of killing his fiancée and his best friend.
We've seen officers recoil and fail to use force while under physical attack.
Remember when an officer with the Birmingham (AL) Police Department was disarmed and pistol-whipped by a convicted felon whose record included an attempted-murder charge, as well as convictions for robbery and assault? That officer later told CNN that he hesitated to use force because he didn't want to be accused of needlessly killing an unarmed man.
Under Graham v. Connor, both of those incidents would have justifiably necessitated the use of deadly force.
In both cases, the officers involved are lucky to be alive.
Unfortunately, those two officers are not alone in their reluctance to use force when force is necessary for their own safety.
Too many officers have been the victim of deadly hesitation.
Fear of a lawsuit does not mean you should be risking your life.
If you know your agency policy, have a solid understanding of Graham v. Connor and other major case law regarding the use of force and are up to date on your training, your day in court following a use-of-force incident will likely go your way.
Rising Crime
Citing the "Ferguson Effect," the anonymous Chicago officer told CBS News that police have retreated from the practice of proactive policing, causing a subsequent increase in crime in some areas.
In fact, in places like Chicago, Baltimore, and other places where use-of-force cases have caused violent protests and confrontations with police, the practice of proactive policing is in danger of becoming lost to history.
In some places police have essentially forfeited the streets, responding to calls only when someone has the temerity to call 911 and ask for help. Traffic stops have become a rarity, as have field interviews and Terry stops.
It is no surprise, then, that violent crime is rampant in some of those places.
In Chicago, the breezes coming in from Lake Michigan now carry more bullets than ever. Over the past weekend, at least 37 people were struck by gunfire in the Windy City, according to the Chicago Tribune.
What's remarkable about that statistic is that it is roughly half of the number of people shot the previous weekend, when at least 74 people were struck by gunfire.
On August fifth alone, at least 47 were hit by gunfire, 40 of them during a seven-hour period, according to the Trib.
In Chicago, 335 people have been killed this year.
In Baltimore, police officers "in nearly every part of the city appeared to turn a blind eye to everyday violations" with the number of potential violations they proactively pursued dropping by almost half, according to USA Today.
"From 2014 to 2017, dispatch records show the number of suspected narcotics offenses police reported themselves dropped 30 percent," USA Today reported. "The number of people they reported seeing with outstanding warrants dropped by half. The number of field interviews — instances in which the police approach someone for questioning — dropped 70 percent."
This year, 180 people have been killed in Charm City.
Nature hates a vacuum. When the police exit the arena, the bad guys enter it — that's just simple physics.
Redoubling Efforts
Prosecutors — elected officials who want to win re-election — are under increasing pressure to bring charges against officers who are doing their jobs within agency policy and established legal precedent.
This does a lot to de-motivate officers from going out and looking for trouble.
Unfortunately, in today's anti-police climate, there may be no way out of this downward spiral until crime gets so bad that city streets look like the studio set of a Mad Max movie. Perhaps when anarchy truly sets in, the people, the press, and the politicians who have handcuffed their police will change their tune.
However, when we have a sitting United States Senator — and a potential Democratic presidential candidate — stating that the American criminal justice system is "racist ... front to back," we've clearly got an uphill slog in changing the narrative.
I'm not saying we should stop trying — quite the opposite.
We need to be redoubling our efforts to re-establish proactive policing and aggressive crime fighting. The overwhelming majority of people out there are innocent of criminal activity — they are often the victims of it — and they deserve the best police service possible.
I concede that when you look up at the scoreboard — to use a sports analogy — it's a little difficult to visualize victory.
In the meantime, keep your head held high.
Do your best to do your job to the best of your ability.
If you're doing the right things at the right times and for the right reasons, you will — hopefully — come out on top, no matter what the situation.
Stay safe out there.

Controversial California UOF Legislation Hits Sudden, Unexpected Snag
In an email to its members, the California Peace Officers Association said that AB 931 — a controversial piece of legislation that would change California’s legal standard for judging police officers' use of force in the Golden State from "reasonable" to "necessary" — has been "halted in its tracks."
The bill — which was authored by Assembly member Shirley Weber (D-San Diego) and Assembly member Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento) — was referred by the Senate back to Senate Rules Committee on Thursday.
AB 931 would conflict with existing case law — specifically, that which is established in Graham v. Connor — regarding the standard by which police use-of-force cases would be evaluated in the courts.
Critics of the bill say that it could potentially create a litigious landslide against police involved in violent confrontations with subjects officers perceive to threaten death or great bodily harm to themselves or innocent civilians.
The California Police Chiefs Association said in a statement that this was an unusual move by the State Senate, saying that "the bill in its current form still needs work in order to gain enough support to pass the full Senate."
In the normal legislative process, the CPCA said, bills are introduced and then referred to a specific policy committee by the Rules Committee.
"After this initial referral, bills get heard by policy and fiscal committees. The move today, to send AB 931 from a fiscal committee back to Rules Committee, is uncommon and signals that the Legislature wants to continue discussing the issue but is unwilling to move the bill forward in its current form" CPCA said.
The California Police Officers Association — which has more than 16,000 members of all ranks from municipal, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies throughout the state — said in its email to members, "We are going to continue to talk about this issue that’s so important to our communities with all interested stakeholders. Legislative efforts like AB 931 put Officers [sic] in harm’s way and is just bad legislation. Our industry continues to focus on less-lethal force options that include de-escalation and Crisis Intervention trainings."
CPOA said further that "while there is a chance that the bill could be sent to the Senate floor after negotiations on both sides, today’s action shows how polarizing this bill truly is."
The deadline for all bills to pass the California Legislature is August 31st and Governor Jerry Brown must take action on them by September 30th.

Arizona Officer Critically Wounded in Gunfight During Traffic Stop
The Phoenix Police Department says that an officer was critically wounded in an exchange of gunfire with a suspect at a traffic stop on Thursday.
According to ABC-15, a Phoenix police spokesperson said both the officer — who has not yet been named — and suspect were in critical condition on Thursday night.
Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams said she believes the shooting was an ambush.
Williams said the shooting was another example of an increased level of violence that Phoenix officers have encountered, according to WZZM-TV.
The number of assaults on Phoenix police officers increased 45 percent in the first five months of this year compared to the same period in 2017, according to data the department provided to The Arizona Republic.
The officer involved has only been with the department for one year.

NYPD Sergeants Benevolent Association Issues Lengthy Statement on "Ferguson Effect"
The NYPD Sergeants Benevolent Association posted a lengthy statement on Facebook, ripping elected officials and police leaders who are seen by the SBA to be too cozy with anti-police politicians.
"We are being 'led' by the wrong people whose policies are enacted for political expedience and police officers are regarded as collateral damage in their quest to enact progressive agendas," the post read.
"Each of us who wear a uniform know we are being sold out and used as scapegoats and props by elected officials, amateur commissioners, and the appointments of inept police chiefs based on incestuous professional relationships."
The NYPD SBA cited the "Ferguson Effect" in its criticism of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and others.
"The mayor and the police commissioner's actions — as well as their inactions — continually display a failure to supervise and lead, with dangerous and sometimes deadly consequences," the SBA said.
The NYPD SBA post detailed two specific instances in which the public and the press have disrespected the police, either verbally or in print under "misleading headlines" influenced by anti-police sentiment.
"Things are inherently wrong when society's miscreants are emboldened enough to verbally abuse and incite uniformed police officers, and believe it is okay to taunt them while 'armed' with cell phone cameras," the post said.

Colorado Dispatcher Reunited with Officer She Helped After Traffic Crash
The Denver Police Department 911 dispatcher who came to the aid of a Lakewood police officer who was severely injured in a motorcycle crash was recently reunited with the man she helped.
Police said Erica Limon — a Denver 911 Communications Center dispatcher and certified EMT — was on her way home after picking up her kids from school when she saw debris flying from a crash. She stopped, told her kids to stay in the car, and ran to the scene.
There, she found Lakewood Police Officer Mark O’Donnell — who had been on duty, riding his LPD motorcycle — lying on the ground, moving and breathing, but seriously injured, according to Fox-31 Denver.
“Erica grabbed for the officer’s radio and said, ‘Officer down, officer down. … Wadsworth and Colfax. … Colfax and Wadsworth. We need EMS Code 10’,” police said on their Facebook page.
O’Donnell has since said that he's certain that he is alive because of Limon's quick thinking and applied knowledge during this critical incident.
"Once Erica got on the air, it all became clear and they were able to send units to the correct location," DPD said on Facebook. "Erica also remained on-scene, preventing others from moving the officer, providing him comfort and keeping him alert until additional units and EMS were also with him."
DPD added, "Erica has always been someone who does the most-right-thing for our officers in Denver, and that attitude carried over during this event, where she provided critical information and comfort to the right people."

Man Who Shot and Paralyzed Missouri Officer Refutes Insanity Finding
A St. Louis man charged with shooting and paralyzing a Ballwin police officer in 2016 has been found mentally unfit to face trial, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The man — identified as 33-year-old Antonio Taylor — is contesting the finding by the Department of Mental Health.
Earlier this year, Taylor underwent a mental examination to determine if he suffers from mental illness and whether or not he understands the court proceedings levied against him.
Taylor was charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer, unlawful gun possession, resisting arrest and armed criminal action in connection with a 2016 traffic stop that left Ballwin Police Officer Michael Flamion paralyzed from the neck down.
Taylor's criminal history in Missouri reportedly includes convictions for unlawful possession of a firearm and resisting arrest.
Assistant Prosecutor Jason Denney has reportedly filed a motion seeking a second mental health exam for Taylor.

Video: NYPD Sergeant Browbeaten Inside Precinct Station House
VIDEO: NYPD Sergeant Browbeaten Inside Precinct Station House
An NYPD sergeant was browbeaten inside the 28th Precinct Station House in Harlem by a man who was reportedly there to pick up a motorcycle that police had seized as evidence in an ongoing investigation.
Sergeant Freddie Lopez can be seen on video attempting to quiet the man and prevent him from recording the confrontation on his mobile phone — the NYPD Patrol Guide states that filming inside a police precinct is prohibited, and those who do so can be arrested.
"Sergeant Lopez...he can suck a big fat f______ d___," the man yells. "You're supposed to be here to serve and protect, right? You’re not serving and protecting s___!"
The video of the incident has gone viral, with thousands of comments made on social media.
The man continues to use profanity to demean Sergeant Lopez, who eventually closes the gap between the two men and orders the man to stop filming.
The man does not comply, and eventually Lopez can be seen returning to his desk and picking up the telephone. It is not clear who he called or what he was saying.
The video ends before the man leaves, but it is reasonably clear that the man was not taken into custody.
Some personnel in the NYPD are not happy about that fact.
"A lot of bosses have seen the video and they are not happy at all about this," one high-ranking officer told the New York Daily News. "He should have taken some action. It was inside his own house."

Virginia Man Fleeing Police Throws Two-Year-Old Boy Into a Creek
A Virginia man who led police Strasburg on a foot pursuit reportedly threw a two-year-old boy into a creek as he ran, according to WHSV-TV.
According to the Strasburg (VA) Police Department, an officer saw the man driving with his two-year-old son on his lap. When the officer stopped the car, the man — identified as 28-year-old Kyle Steven Sunday — got out of the vehicle and fled.
The man was then seen throwing the child over an embankment into a creek.
One officer discontinued the pursuit and rescued the boy.
A K-9 unit eventually tracked the suspect to a home, where he was arrested. He is now charged with multiple felony counts, including child abuse, reckless driving, and eluding police.
The mother of the boy — reportedly identified as 27-year-old Kristi Ann Letima — has been charged with child neglect and endangerment, obstruction of justice, and making a false report to law enforcement.

U.S. Armor to be Featured on Tonight's “Whistleblowers” Documentary TV Show on CBS
U.S. Armor will be featured in the “Whistleblowers” documentary TV show on CBS tonight at 10 p.m. Eastern and Pacific time and 9 p.m. Central time. The episode will focus on the Zylon ballistic fabric story.
The episode is titled “The Case Against Second Chance” and centers around “whistleblower” Dr. Aaron Westrick, a former director of research in charge of composite development and training at Second Chance. The company disregarded all of his warnings about the material, which later resulted in at least two incidents where law enforcement officers were seriously injured by gunfire and at least one additional case where the injuries were fatal. U.S. Armor calls this "an incredible story of corporate greed that recklessly endangered the lives of law enforcement officers all across the country and resulted in the largest recall of ballistic products in history."
Zylon was a body armor fabric produced by the Toyobo Corporation that was first used exclusively by Second Chance Body Armor and later by many of the other major manufacturers, except U.S. Armor. U.S. Armor says it didn't use Zylon "because it didn’t always work like it was supposed to; its ballistic properties were inconsistent at best."
The production crew from CBS spent an entire day filming at U.S. Armor Corporation, in addition to conducting a one-on-one interview of the company's president Stephen Armellino by Judge Alex Ferrer. U. S. Armor Corporation was the only major body armor manufacture in the United States that refused to produce any commercial body armor using the Zylon fabric. "It would have been irresponsible," U.S. Armor says.
After the initial failures, the National Institute of Justice completely prohibited Zylon’s continued use in ballistic products and a recall of all Zylon vests was initiated.
