Sad, headed towards where LEO's are going to have to team up, one LEO per car and two cars always together, to look out for each other.

 

Metro Louisville has already begun to do this! This will have to affect coverage to city residents.

To clarify Metro Louisville has teamed officers.

Prayers for all who chose to serve and protect. Thank you and take care of each other.

yep

 

And with the double killings of the two NYPD officers who were sitting in the same car, in many areas two in the same car isn't going to help anymore.

 

It's also unbelievable how many people think that their lives are so bad that they have to end it, and that they want to take other lives with them before killing themselves. I'll never understand it.

Like I said, police are being hunted.

 

You're always trained that there's no such thing as a routine call. You can't even go to a traffic accident or theft report without watching your six. Probably going to see a lot more departments going to two man units or two per call.

I almost always see two vehicles at a traffic stop on the side of the highway

That's not possible everywhere.

Some places barely have enough to answer calls. Bigger cities might...

Agreed 100%!

 

Also, at times I'd open carry, but it seems now it's best to hide anything that can be used to take out an adversary.

 

All LEO's need to receive more training. I know I sound like a broken record, but if agencies would start sending at least their top people, or trainers to Israel to learn their technics to then come home and train the others in their departments, that would be a huge start! Or, them getting a person like Ran Nakash to come train LEO's here, he does this a good part of the year, and it's well worth it!

 

The LEO's also need a huge pay increase.

That's not possible everywhere.

 

Sadly that's correct, as has always been stated, there is really no such thing as a routine call anymore, it's a sad time in not only the US, but the entire world, that LEO's can't be safe alone, or two per unit, or even in a group. If LEO who are armed are being attacked, that doesn't look so good for a potential target that is unarmed and untrained.

Will lead to doubling or tripling or quadrupling of response times at the very least. Public already screams bloody murder if an officer doesn't respond to a theft report within 5 or 10 minutes.

Doubling up, while a GREAT idea, may not be feasible for all departments.

It's getting to the point of Vietnam and Iraq War.

Soldiers didn't know who to trust or couldn't tell who was about to pull a gun or bomb or being set up for an ambush.

 

Cops can't tell what a person is about to do now, all this cop killing and people saying how much they deserve it and how more should be killed. Do you blame cops for not taking more precautions and its forced them to have hair triggers.

Police are going to investigate complaints. Even if that's just going and talking to the guy. If people are alarmed and calling they're going to respond.

 

Exactly, and in turn this can often cause IMO the presumption notion of a racial bias by police officers in some situations. I can't tell you how many calls I've heard about "suspicious activity" because someone saw a black male or group of black males in a particular area and the caller isn't familiar with them. The officers have to go, even if they don't agree with it, but the people they roll up on don't know that. You can listen to Boone and Kenton dispatch and hear 1-2 of those calls dispatched every hour on some weekends.

True, some places have to call and wake up their backup.

The fact that police officers are being openly murdered will have an impact on the number and quality of recruits willing to serve in most major cities.
