Thanks! So there is the answer "Least amount of force and restraint necessary." Sounds like Zip Ties would be perfect (for that agency) at least.

Another snow Monday commute that will be made even more miserable by snow! It is amazing to me that 3-6 inches gets a winter weather advisory. IMHO it is because people in the area just do not know how to drive in "snow." Too many of the "I have 4-wheel drive so I can do what I want" personality. There are places in NYS (and the rest of the country) that get 3-6 inches every night...with no weather advisory. It just s funny how people freak out of small accumulations of snow as if it is the end of the world. I bet the supermarkets are packed this morning. You need to get your condensed milk, cans of soup, gallons of water, batteries, generators, etc. Good luck to you all!

The Indiana Senate has proposed a bill that is very close to becoming a reality. The bill is "Senate Bill 292" which would allow people who are registered to carry firearms to bring them into public places. www.fox59.com I find this to be a scary bill. It allows firearms to be present in location that are often home to fights, drinking, drug deals, etc. I would not feel safe sitting at an Indiannapolis Colts game knowing that people are drinking (some heavily) and some people have tailgaited for hours prior to the game and now have guns. We have all been to sports game where fights break out and punches are thrown because one drunk fan says to another fan, ' Hey as*****! The (sports team) sucks!", or something like that. Now instead of a pu8nch or two being thrown prior to the arriva lof security or a good samaritan breaking the fight up, there will possibly be gunfire! Thats ridiculous. The bills sponser, Senator Tomes feels that the guns will make public places safer because there will be more people with guns who will act as "first responders" in the case of an emergency...yeah ok pal, nice try! For some reason, I no longer want to go to the Super Bowl next year...someone else can have my ticket. Make sure you bring your gun just in case you spill some beer or popcorn on someone!

Rest In Peace Officer Falcone. God bless you for all you have done to protect us from the worlds evil. My condolences to the family, friends and fellow Police Officers. RIP

What makes you think the perp is not also carrying? Another view would be that it would motivate acts of violence and perps because they might think, "Might as well do such and such, if it gets out of control I have a gun."

Indeed, it all makes sense now.

Just so happens I'm at school for technobullshit...

File is not working for me on a Mac. Can you fill us in on what the video is about?

Rest in peace brother! My condolences to the family and fellow Officers. I personally know City of Poughkeepsie Police Chief Knapp. I know that he will provide the needed support and resources to help people cope with the terrible tragedy.

I don't know if that is so true... The article does ay that the Colts owner is concerned. I'm sure if the "common folk" was not going to be allowed to bring a firearm into the stadium he would not say he is concerned about it happening. I guess we will just have to see what happens. And yes, I agree that off duty cops should be able to bring there weapon with them. Thats because I along with most people probably trust off duty cops carrying a firearm more than the average drinking Joe.

Yes I thought they were private property. I imagine Lucas Oil Stadium where the colts play is private property too. However, the article says the bill will allows guns to be brought into the stadium.

You can bring a gun into a stadium/arena in NYS?

Rest In Peace Brother!

Is that the law? I did not know that.

So it is up to the agency to decide what is appropriate for use as soft restraints and they assume all liability in doing so. The ideas should be run past that agencies Medical Director. Sounds fair enough.

I hope all Officers have a quick and full recovery. God Bless!

Yes, "life net" is the correct name. Thanks.

Patient...patience...patience. Where are you currently employed? I notice that your "Current Affiliation" says you are a Career EMT.

Awesome pictures thanks for sharing! I especially like the trampoline for victims to jump onto!

Try this: Simply say, "Like a good neighbor, WCDES is there!" on 46.26. Poof, the units show up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I79Jmgb8nyw

Agreed, sounds like people making a big deal over nothing. The firefighter retired...end of story.

Absolutely. I agree with you 100%, I just did not include that in my post. On top of time, it is also important (obviously) for the personnel who show up in a TIMELY MANNER to be qualified, competent, and professional. Time is one of the most important things in emergency services.

Ahh thanks! Early winter means I had just gotten home from school. It all makes sense now.
